Almost there

Hi All, this is my first time posting, didn’t realise this was here. So I started couch to 5k at the start of lockdown a challenge for myself as a complete non runner. I’ve always claimed I couldn’t run, no way, ever! But here I am on week 9 session 2 and I’m running for 30mins and doing 5k!!! I just cannot believe it. Each time I announce ‘I’m going out for my run’ get a funny feeling, a surge of pride I guess and the reassurance that I can legitimately buy exercise clothes without feeling a fraud! Week 1 session 1 I was wearing 3/4 length denim -totally clueless. I now have leggings and a top 😁 All those starting out, this is completely doable and is the best way, slowly but surely. You’ll soon be thinking ‘i think I can do more than I’m being asked’ that’s a good sign that you’re getting fitter. Keep with it.

Well done me and well done everyone-aren’t we clever! 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️👏🏻👏🏻

What an inspiring post! I feel like that too, so proud of myself for taking the leap into the unknown and now just about to start Week 8. You should be super proud of yourself, good luck with your final run 😀
