Before you even get your heart rate up, there are some things to consider beforehand if you’re planning on improving your fitness levels.

Daybyday, weekbyweek

If you want to stretch your legs, improve your strength and enhance your wellbeing, follow the NHS training plan that gives you the right support for more than running.

If you don’t run regularly or maybe you just need to dust off the trainers first, getting motivated to run is better when you have a plan. No one is asking for zero to hero right away, but these training plans give you an achievable, fun way of challenging yourself and getting fitter.
