I am looking for a first time buddy to start the Couch to 5K with me.

Hi, I am going to give Couch to 5 K a chance and also made a promise to myself that I will do it. Will be glad to 'meet' someone that is also a newbe to jog along. I'm in South Africa, just in case there is a time difference. Would like to start on Monday, 3 March or Tuesday? Scared but excited! The last time I exercised was about 2 years ago!

Hi Savanna, I'd be interested in buddying up. Am restarting C25k due to time off due to injury

Welcome Savanna and hope the program goes well for you. I do hope you won't be running on the savannah plains or you could find yourself being chased by some very big cats!!!! Joking aside I'm sure there will be someone you can buddy up with to compare runs and experiences with but if you have any queries ask them on here, there are loads of runners who will be able to help and advise. Good luck.

Haha, no big cats, only my two! Thanks.

Hi Tanyag, it will be wonderful! Thanks! When would you like to start? Hope your injury is better.

Thanks Savanna - whenever suits you I got a case of runner's knee due to over doing it (I was running 5 times a week, and my legs decided to give up after w7r1!) I've been advised I can start back up again when ready but should start at a lower pace and make sure to take the rest days.
