Summary

Couch to 5k is a running plan designed to get complete beginners from being a couch potato to running 5k (or 30 minutes) in nine weeks. It is: - Achievable - starting with a mix of running and walking and building up slowly - Virtually free - all you need

Episode Description

For the runs in Week 8, you will begin with a brisk 5-minute warm-up walk then 28 minutes of running. By now, you should be getting comfortable with the longer runs but you still need to concentrate on completing the 28 minutes without going too fast.

Miscellaneous & John Daniels' journey Flame CCR Contains a selection of Flame CCR's regular programmes to whet your appetite, plus other stand alone programmes. Also includes "John Daniels' journey with cancer" (38 fifteen minute podcasts, 2016 to 2020) in which John talks honestly about his early life, his Christian faith and then his diagnosis with prostate cancer in 2016. He was a strong Yorkshireman and an enthusiastic member of the FLAME team. John experienced superb NHS treatment over a number of years as the cancer progressed. He remained cheerful throughout the years and leant heavily upon his Christian faith. John died from the cancer in April 2020. The theme tune is by Andrew Gardiner (a Baptist Minister in Plymouth) recording as "Rising Hope" who himself suffered and died from cancer but found strength from his Christian faith.
