Never ran before and very overweight but this week I have completed week 1 and I even ventured on a main road today instead of a enclosed field - getting braver!
First week completed : Never ran before and very... - Couch to 5K

Ha ha. Well done. I ran for the first time today and did it out of sight too! I thought it was just me!

When I ran outside for first time (treadmill before) I drove to village in countryside about 7 miles away and choose a really quiet side road - confident no one would see me. Only saw a couple of cars. One if which turned out to be my neighbour! Ha - now I just run from home much easier (but still go out v early). Good luck

Well done! - to VTurner and Michlou65 as well Honestly, though, most people don't notice. Can you honestly say that you looked at runners before you started this? I bet you didn't!
All the best with the programme - keep going, and keep posting to tell us how you're getting on
