Run For Your Life

Welsh rugby legend Gareth 'Alfie Thomas' faces up to his biggest challenge yet: training 100 rookie runners from scratch to run a half marathon. In this episode, Alfie reveals the three teams he'll be following up close and personal with the TV cameras throughout their 16 week training period.

The real work begins for Alfie and his Angels when Alfie and coach James Thie set the three teams their first challenge: can they go from couch to 5k in less than four weeks?

Half way through the training program, the injuries are mounting and Alfie starts to tighten the knot: taking the three teams away on a wet, painful and sleep-deprived boot-camp weekend none of them will forget in a hurry.

Half Marathon weekend arrives. The three teams join the rest of the 100 Alfie's Angels. Nerves are tingling, injuries are nagging, and Alfie's got more than one surprise in store before they roll up to the start line.
