About to start

[MrsD47]

I’m about to start couch to 5k with my teenage daughter. I’ve downloaded and deleted the app at least five times over the past few years. However a breakdown at work last week is spurring me on. I train at the gym but have never in my 40 odd years run more than a mile. Let’s see if I can do it! I need it physically but more importantly mentally- fingers crossed 🤞

Fantastic! Go for it and you will do it. I started this program 7 weeks ago whilst off work with “stress”. I joined with my teenage daughter too. She won’t run with me because I walked too fast and she didn’t like my route and I didn’t like hers! Lol

I’m ahead of her now but we are both doing really well. I’m proud of myself and I don’t care if anyone thinks I’m being bigheaded. I am proud! I’m also back at work and I find running good for my stress levels.

Keep us updated on your progress! Good luck and ENJOY XXX

Brilliant well done MrsD. The plan is great and it works! I graduated in January and my daughter graduated this week. We did our first parkrun together today! Good luck and enjoy your running.
