3 continuous minutes! Me! This app is making a miracle happen. So pleased for getting my lazy backside off the couch and committing to it. Week 1 it all seemed daunting, week 3, it all feels possible 💪🏼

Great post .. I’m only on week 1 and hoping it will get easier... glad to hear it does .. well done 👍
i found w1 and w2 the hardest and ached the days after...then it all fell into place.remember slow and steady
That’s hopeful as I’m just about to start week 3 and 90 seconds to 3 mins seems a big jump
Thank you 🙏 I hope so ... do you find it better running on grass or pathways?
I’ve never been into any kind of exercise but I am determined to try and do this .. any help is appreciated 😊😊
Myself,I find grass hard work.I run on cycle tracks and old railway line,some tarmac some compacted stone.have you taken a look at Japanese slow jogging tequique? Wish I had known about it years ago x
I will stick to pavement running🙂 .. I will google the Japanese slow jogging!
And give it a go... hey thank you for your help... x
That’s exactly how I run! I guess the aim of the app is to get us running for 30 mins/5K, for me any improvement on speed will be after that. Don’t think I’ll ever be speedy tho 🐌
Hi I did my w1 day 2 yesterday and tried the Japanese slow jogging, what a difference I actually found it very easy ... will maintain this pace until I feel fitter ... day 3 Saturday am... feeling positive about C25k now 😊😊 x
Delighted for you! Well done. Thanks for your update.
I’ve got w3 run 3 tomorrow. Going slow is also helping my aches and pains as I get used to the exercise👟👟
I run round and round a track on the village field. It’s flat, so I thought it would be a good place to start. It’s a bit rough, some gravel, some grass. I invested in running shoes before I started. I need to be careful with the old knees so wanted a good cushioned sole. They are brilliant. Worth every penny. Good luck 👟👟

Great job... now imagine how great it’s going to feel running for 10 times longer in a few weeks! Your fitness level is rising quicker than the duration of the runs... all very positive... enjoy the next one.
