Just done my FIRST RUN! Not going to lie I found it a lot harder than I thought I would, but the main thing is I've done it.
Sat here now afterwards I feel great and I can't wait to start seeing myself go that little bit longer eventually! One step at a time and all the jazz 🙂
Great job... and you’ve taken the biggest of those steps. Run 1 is tough... hardest run I’ve ever done. Slow down a little and just keep coming to those start lines, everything else will take care of itself as you run.
Welcome to the forums. Enjoy amazing yourself often on your journey.
Thank you so much for your comment, it really means a lot, your 100% right I need to slow down and not push myself over the edge. I appreciate your support!
Great for getting started. C25k is an amazing plan and really does work you'll get lots of encouragement and support on here good luck 😊😊
Well done you!
Just keep going. 👍 😁
Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.
This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...
Enjoy your journey
Well done 👍🏼
Well done! I still think that first run was the hardest one of the programme, and you've done it! I hope you enjoy the journey; you'll get lots of support on here too 😊
Wahoooooo! Great job! The sky is the limit now 😊
Well done! You should feel proud of yourself x
I don’t think many of us have found the plan a complete breeze - we’ve all found a run harder than others so don’t ‘worry’, it’s normal and starting is usually the hardest as it’s completely alien to you, but you’ve done it!
We’ll all be here cheering you on any way we can (physically and mentally) with any help you may need 🤗 x
Congratulations 👏The first run is the hardest I thought I can’t do this.. but like you I did and it got better as the weeks went on 😊 slowly does it.keep us updated 🏃♀️
Well done on starting your first steps into the start of your running journey 👏👏
Well done! 🏅 I found the first three weeks the hardest in the whole programme so don’t worry - it will get easier. Key thing is to relax the pace and keep it nice and slow and steady. And try to find a steady rhythm with your breathing - as well as helping you run efficiently with nice deep steady breaths, it also gives you something to focus on.
Well done. This is something that you can do, following the advice and getting lots of encouragement and support from this amazing group. Just don't rush it or push too hard, it will come with time. All the best.
I felt like that last week when I started week 1 but it did get easier. I’m now on Week 2. Advice I got from everyone was go at your own pace don’t try to run too fast. Good Luck x
OMG the first three weeks I had a thought very single run of “WHY am I doing this to myself! Everything hurts!!” But I start week 9 tomorrow!! Finish with my first 5k on Sunday. It gets easier. Use ice on anything that hurts, go slow and rock on!!!
Well done you're on your way. Stick to the programme it really does work. I'm proof of that. Now on WK 6 run 2 tonight and never thought I'd run for 20 minutes (completed last week). Take it slow. Speed will come later....
Trust in the program it works! even for me at 72
Well done! Small victories. My only advice would be is to move on to the next level only when you're ready. Don't worry about repeating sections. The point is to keep running!
Well done 👍 the first run is always the hardest. Keep going, nice and slow and steady 🏃♀️
I’ve just started week 2. Never thought 90 seconds was so long but I did it. Now so can you
