Couch to 5k – and there ends my campaign!
Having tried proper c25k and finding my hips in crippling pain, I switched over to my air walker – I found this much easier on my joints, so had thought to continue the programme on that until such time where my weight wasn’t giving my joints serious grief, then start the whole thing again, properly, …
