C5K 1 of 1 Completed

[M1ck]

Hi,

Completed run 1 of 1 today 😀 this was probably my first run of any length in 40 years 😲last one running out of the school gates!

Found the last minute a real challenge absolutely chuffed I completed it.

Going to do the normal dog walking for a couple of days and go for 1 - 2 Tuesday.

Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.

Thanks - agree really important not to jump straight in at full belt.

My start has been four weeks in the planning and reading 😁

I huffed and puffed my way through every other day, I was hooked after day one. Enjoy the journey.

Brilliant for starting. C25k is an amazing plan and really does work you'll get lots of encouragement and support on here, lots of walking between runs is good as it keeps everything moving. Well done you 😊

Welcome to C25K or for most of us C230 (couch to thirty) as there is no many of us will run a 30 minute 5k in 9 weeks. It's about enjoyment, fitness and time on feet more than distance. And it works.

Been feeling good today so completed 1 of 2 this evening. Being cooler, I found it more comfortable. again the last minute was the hardest but knowing what was coming helped 😁

Anyone recommend some cheap headphones that don’t keep falling out like the apple ones do for me 😠

[Doddery123 Graduate]

I just have some old Sony over ear ones with wires. They don't look too elegant but they stay on.

Can’t believe it 😀 I’ve just completed day 1 of Wk 6 never thought I’d get this far 🥳

Just completed Wk7 D1 between the showers! Still struggling to believe that I’ve completed 28 minutes 😀

The program really works and the positivity and tips of this group are a great help. 👏
