So I got over the psychological mindset of I canโt do this, why bother. To actually doing my first run on Monday. Felt bloody amazing and Iโm not as unfit as what I thought I was. My biggest struggle was putting on the 2 sports bras and where to to put my key when I run. Canโt wait for Thursday for my next run. Can you get addicted so early on?
I did my first run ๐๐๐: So I got over the... - Couch to 5K

Well done on starting C25K, yes, you can get addicted to running, even from the first run, especially when you enjoy it and surprise yourself.
Just follow the program, go slow and steady - don't try to break any land speed records or anything like that, believe in yourself and most importantly, enjoy yourself.
Re the early addiction....massive yes!! Iโve just completed W5 this morning yet struggled to do 60 seconds a few weeks ago. C25K is amazing! Keep it going!
I think I actually surprised myself on how much I enjoyed it because I could do it. Iโve never classed myself as a โrunnerโ Iโve always done body strength training. At school I was told wasnโt a runner, I wasnโt built for running but 30+ years on those words still haunt me which is why Iโm pretty impressed with myself that I did run ๐๐
C25k is an amazing plan and really does work you'll get lots of encouragement and support and yes it really is addictive as that feeling when you complete a run is brilliant ๐๐
