Just started the couch to 5K plan...

This marks my second week, yesterday I completed the 1st 2nd week podcast. Feeling good, but can't imagine not running without taking the 'recovery walks'.....

Hi - I did my 1st 2nd week today. Found it easier than I thought - but still unimaginably tough - I ran with my son - he said I look like a constipated duck when I run - all bent - I said that's how I feel - as if I'm being ground down into the road. So, I need to work on my technique. Saw someone said about running with your head up - try and keep tall - lets more air into your lungs. Can't imagine running for longer than 90 seconds, but I think that is the beauty of this plan - very, very slow but hopefully very sure and successful. I found the 2 day break excellent - don't think I could have gone out a single day earlier. So, its Tues, Thurs and Sat for me for the next 7 weeks, 4 days! Good luck and hope you keep going. Couldn't manage the breathing bit - will try again next time.

Don't worry about what's to come, if you follow the programme you will be able to do it slow and steady is the key

Hi, if you follow Laura and take it steady you will surprise yourself. Keep up with the programme and enjoy what your doing.

That sounds about right! I remember thinking the same when I started but you just have to focus on the moment you're in. Our trusty Laura will guide you through the weeks and you will astound yourself

Everyone says they do it - but I still can't imagine running 3 mins next week. Looking forward to having my 2 days off.
