So as I am avoiding social situations of any kind because of my participation in Dryanuary (and my apparent inability to go out without a glass of wine in my hand), I thought I’d start Couch to 5k after promising myself I’d start running and downloading the app LAST MAY.
I have hated running my whole life and was absolutely dreading it.
Wellity wellity wellity! I loved it! I completed all the runs and really got a buzz out of it.
I think where I’d gone wrong in the past was not listening to music while I ran and also just trying to run as fast as I could with no thought as to where to or for how long I would go.
I really hope I keep it up. I so want to love running - it’s a totally free and extremely effective way to look after my cardiovascular and mental health.
Welcome - you'll love it here and I hope you continue to enjoy the programme. Keep us posted on your progress - there are loads of us just starting out on the plan at the moment so you've plenty of company.
I downloaded the app about the same time last year. I managed 2 weeks until family life got in the way. I restarted on Friday W1R1, this time I have said that I intend - not resolve, to do all of the runs to complete the programme, regardless of the time frame.
Good luck with your C25K journey and I hope to see you at the finish line. x
