Hi everyone. I started couch to 5k last year and got to about week 3 or 4. It was difficult and a lot harder than I expected. I was more unfit than I imagined. I then stopped because the weather was rubbish and I lost motivation. This year with renewed determination I started again from week 2 and I am now on the second to last week doing 28 minute runs. I never thought I would get here. So close to 5k. In fact I am taking part in an organised 5k run this weekend in Leeds. My advise is simply to stick with it and push yourself to get to the end. I will be pushing myself to 5k very soon, though at my pace I will be running for about 34 minutes. More than I have managed so far. It is all worth it as far as I'm concerned.
