Before you start
It's a good idea to consult a health professional before starting any new fitness programme
- haven't exercised for a long time
- are significantly overweight
- have any health issues or long-term illness
- have, or have had, an injury
In these circumstances, you may be advised to do a lighter fitness programme that includes regular brisk walking and some jogging for a number of weeks. Then you may be ready to start one of our running programmes for beginners and experienced runners.
