I'm so unfit. Tried the first run thursday and only managed it half way! Not going to let it stop me though going out again tomorrow. Maybe I'll get a little bit further this time around 
have to start somewhere!
really enjoyed reading everybody's journey posts. Really inspiring!
Also I am 21 so very unfit for my age!
Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.
This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...
Enjoy your journey.
Already read through it, thankyou will be easier to find now xx
Hey, you can do this stuff, we all struggled, go for it!!
We sure can! Thankyou for the encouragement
Welcome and don’t sweat it. We all started in same shoes . Go slow and have fun
You've gotten off the couch and out the door. That's the biggest step.
If you can't complete the run sections try just walking faster and the slow back for the walks. Make sure you're not trying to run too fast, that's the most basic rule.
Most of all, keep trying and have fun! 👍😁
Hi, don’t worry about your time, you’ve shown your commitment just by starting and posting on here 🙂 Keep at it, and keep posting. 👍 You’ll find lots of helpful advice and support whenever you need it and we’ll all be here for you. 🙂 Good luck with your journey. Just take it slow and steady and you’ll be surprised what you can achieve. 😀
Go very very slow. And then slower. As long as you are running. It will get you through. Pace may come..... but you will be running! 🐌🐌
Well done for starting and welcome!
What Ang33333 said. It is all done at a slow jog pace.
Well done on starting. You sound like you’re ready for this journey and you’ll get there in your own time. And in a few weeks you’ll be giving people advice! Best of luck. You can do this 🏃🏼♀️x
Good that you've started. Keep going, you'll be amazed at how fast your fitness builds. Just go more slowly. Take the time you need to get the first run under your belt, then go from there. Keep it up!
You can do it! As the others say, just keep going, even when it feels more like walking than jogging. I had to repeat Week 1 several times before I had the confidence to proceed. And don't underestimate the power of a good playlist on your headphones to take your mind off your struggles. You CAN do it so Good Luck!
Welcome and well done... read through that info from IannodaTruffe again... and then head out really slowly.
Think a snail on a go slow Just try to relax and land as gently and lightly as you are able
Well done for starting & persevering!! Slow, slow, slow is the vital thing here, I keep checking my feet to make sure i’m taking small steps & that i’m not too bouncy, helps me loads! Keep going & speed is not important at this stage. You can do it, we were all in your position at some point & this programme works. Enjoy!!!
Well done for starting in extreme temperatures which are slowing us all down a bit. Just take it slowly, and if you are still finding it difficult get used to doing the brisk walk throughout a few times before you start the programme. You’ve done well to get off the couch even if you brisk walk for 25 mins to start. The programme does work if you take it slowly and take advice from this forum. Happy running
I’m healthy and fit but still struggled with the running. Just take it slow. You’re off the couch and that’s the most important step you can take. Keep positive!!
Well done Jess! You’re on your way! Every time you get out there you’re a stepcloser to being a happy runner! ❤️
Well done for getting out there.....u will get there....im 50 and haven't exercised in10years!!!! I'm on my last run ....u will def do it and the buzz u will get makes it all worth it!
However.......i still run like a sloth...a v slow 1 ...😂...no matter though couldn't run for 90 secs when I started ...keep at it!!!!x
Hi, I've just started too. My first run was a struggle, my second was much easier. The trick as everyone will tell you SLOW DOWN. Don't get disheartened and don't forget it's not a competition. Keep on trying.
First run ✅
First run today....

First Run, first time - eek!
