The impact of the ‘Couch to 5k’ app on markers of health and wellbeing
06 May 2021
Participants are sought for a project exploring the health impacts of the ‘Couch to 5k’ programme. This popular programme supports novice runners to start running, with a view to being able to run 5k by the end of the 9-week course. Despite its popularity and being recommended by the NHS, the programme has yet to be fully evaluated. The study will explore how the well-known beginner’s running programme – which is usually downloaded as an app – impacts markers of physical and mental health.
