Hope it went well - and remember that what you do one day lays the foundation for the next run.
Good luck D2C - I’m sure you’ll smash it 👍
Hello dying-to -change and welcome. 😁 By now I hope your shoes have arrived and you’ve taken your first steps....
......completing Couchto5k (which you will do, step by small step) won’t be anywhere near ‘horrific’ as you fear, it will be exciting, amazing, wonderful, interesting, life changing, fun (Yes fun!) satisfying, challenging, frustrating sometimes, and many more things you can’t quite imagine yet. That’s what this forum is for and we all look forward to hearing how you changed your life for the better, all the very best 🤗
D2C - don’t be frightened before you’ve even started, it is highly unlikely to be as ‘horrific’ as your mind is making it seem. Very slow and steady is the way to go and hydration is also key. Everyone who starts this journey is full of trepidation before they start but once you done W1R1 and seen that it is challenging but do-able you’ll be a convert. No more fear just exhilaration and a huge sense of achievement after ever run.
You’re in good company on this forum - there is no worry that you’ll have that won’t have been had before and it is such a supportive ‘family’ that you will really want to keep going once you take the first step.
Keep us posted and enjoy the journey because it WILL be transformative.
😉😊
ok so... I BLOOMIN' DID IT ! i didn't think i could, after the 1st minute of running ... i was dreading the 2nd... i nearly didn't get thru the 3rd....spent 4th wondering if i were going to survive... the 5th i think i actually died then came back to life for the 6th... got very down on the 7th cos my slow jog was becoming ridiculously slow then managed to finish. the walk at the end was like heaven, though brisk it was not. i did it. goodness knows how i will do it again on wednesday but for today, i did it. i mean, I DID IT !!!
Brilliant-well done you!!!!
Fantastic, that’s a great result! Congratulations on taking your first steps!🙂👏👏
It will hopefully get easier as you go through C25K🤞Just follow the program and don’t be afraid to slow down when you need to. Everyone on here will be rooting for you so don’t hesitate to ask for support and encouragement when you need it!😀👍
Fantastic 👍 really well done 👏 you did it 👊
Enjoy your rest day and think positively about R2 😊 you know you can do it now 💪 just remember to go really slowly, then slow down more 🐌🐢
That’s the right attitude- give it your best shot but don’t go too mad- keep it slow. You might not enjoy it at first but you’ll start to see the good results and that will motivate you to keep going. Run 1- done!
right. Run 1- done!
i can't imagine doing this again the day after tomorrow.... lol

Well done! You did it! It does get easier, trust the programme. You can do this! 👏👏👏🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️👍
