Phil is not a doctor, dietitian, or certified personal trainer. Everything here is from personal experience and general wellness knowledge. If you have a medical condition (diabetes, heart issues, high blood pressure, joint problems, anything), talk to your doctor before changing your exercise or diet. This is non-negotiable. This is peer accountability, not medical advice.
The nine-week running programme here follows the NHS Couch to 5K plan (nhs.uk); the walking and ease-in weeks are our own build-up to it. This app is not affiliated with or endorsed by the NHS.
