Ok.. so here I am sitting in the sun deciding on whether I think I can actually do this... I’ve cleared the running machine ready as definitely not ready for any human to see me attempt day 1 .. me running is prob the last thing people out for their daily fresh air will want too see and will terrify most to the bone.. actually I may help with social isolating as people will be terrified of the image of me burning into their retinas.. right... shall go in search of gym gear.. pretty sure I bought some last year when I joined the gym ( and it’s still in it packaging... ) ....
Do I really think I can do this...?? - Couch to 5K

You can definitely do this. Take one run at a time and don’t dwell on what anyone else might think. Keep us updated on your progress 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️

We think you can do it and if you want to do it you will.........there's only one person who is going to make that decision.
Enjoy your journey.

Yes you can Karene28! Just take it slowly and follow the programme. Make sure you do the recommended stretches and rest days 😁 Good luck!!
Well thankyou for believing in me guys!! I did it!! After the third run I didn’t think I’d manage to complete all the runs but I did...!! And I kept on going until I’d burnt off 200 calories!!!
Currently lying on my running machine.. no plans to get up anytime soon !! 🤣..
I didn’t do any stretches Northlondongirl ... beginners error!!! I’ll make sure I do them before and after next run...

The post run stretches are the important ones to stop aches and pains. Not too late to do then now 😉 before the run doing the warm up walk should be just fine!

Well done Karen.
And yes, to answer the question from the title of your post. You can do it 👍💪
