Couch to 5k

[Shahzad89]

Started my 1st week 3rd run. Really tiring. Need some more motivation to keep it going.

Don't give up! Think of all the health benefits. You have done the first 3 runs and that's brilliant. As you found it really tiring you could repeat week 1 runs till you feel you can cope and are ready to move to week 2 or you could move onto week 2 but take it more slowly. And definitely keep up with this forum. There are lots of great folk on here who will give you loads of encouragement. ;-D

Thanks Christian, appreciate it. 😊

It does help when there's someone encouraging you.

Keep going! Honestly it takes time for it to become a habit. Try running as slow as you can. I do that to get me through the bad bits. Even at snail pace you are lapping everyone on the couch.

2 weeks ago you couldn't run at all!!

Keep it up and those endorphins will do wonders for your spirits!

You can do it, keep going, the programme really does work, lots of us are testament to that.

Think how your nemesis in life will feel when they see how fit and trim you could be

Keep going, well done for completing 3 runs already. I keep reminding myself why I began running in the first place each time motivation gets a bit low. For me it's losing weight, fitness and being able to run in a 5k challenge in Sept. 😊

Great for me its the same readon. At age of 27 i look and feel like 35plus. Which is always been stressful. I'm glad i've finish W2R1. And looking forward to my 2nd round

C25k was one of the best moves I made, @ 55 I look and feel like a 40 year old and it all started there. Gone are the excuses... getting off the couch was the first step. Enjoy the journey & keep reading & running & checking in along with the others. This is a great support group
