First run done! For an overweight non runner that is epic! Haven't admitted to anyone apart from my partner ( who loves long distance running...cycling...anything sporty in fact!) as dont want the attention in case I cant do it. 😬. Might have to run in the dark if i dont want to bump into anyone though!😁.
W1R1 woooo: First run done! For an overweight... - Couch to 5K
W1R1 woooo


I started that way too but have since ran loads in the day time your confidence will grow.

Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.
This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...
Enjoy your journey.

Thanks cuig1975. Nice to hear that ....and from a graduate too😁

Great job Suzie - welcome to the crazy gang ! I still duck up side alleys to avoid pedestrians and go out at dusk (off road and away from traffic) and in the rain, because no-one else does ! It’s very friendly here and we’re all right behind you. Enjoy your journey x
I used to try and hide away but now I don’t care, go out with pride because I run, I’m doing it, look at me. I’m not sitting on my couch anymore.

Hat down over my face. Yep that was me. Now week 8 and head held a bit higher. Still red faced and still overweight (but nearly 2 stone less) and now loving life. Keep up the amazing work.
That's great well done. I have yet to start 😫 Always got an excuse. This week my excuse is that my project for a course I am doing is due in Friday and still lots to do. Signed up to do a 10k run at Easter so I need to get started!!!
