couch to 5k beginner

Options
has anyone done couch to 5k? i just stumbled across this and found an old treadmill to rock this. did you see results both endurance and a bit of toning up? i think this would be awesome to start, just curious about the minor details and what everyone thought and worth the time?! thanks in advance ;)

    Hiya, did this last year after my GP recommended it. It worked really well. I had never been able to run for more than about ten minutes before without having to walk for a bit. It was so satisfying being able to run for 5k without walking. Did the Race for Life and felt amazing. My sister did this too and ran the London Marathon this year. Would definitely recommend it.
