I started couch to 5k

[Hollied]

Well tonight I was actually sat on the sofa & I thought come on let’s do it! So I downloaded the “Couch to 5k” app & did my first 28mins of exercise for so many years I can’t even remember! Feeling very proud of myself!

It’s a fantastic feeling when you actually make the move. I find it hard to believe that I am starting week 5. I was like you, laid on my couch and then one day I decided “this is it”.

So well done !!! That’s it you have taken the first step. Am in week 4 and never thought I would get past week 1.. enjoy and feel proud of yourself

Wow! I had a different running app installed for at least a year before I went for a run 🤣. No procrastination with you… you’ll go far!

Great job getting started and welcome to the forums!

You won't regret it. Well done on getting started. Read all the advice. Then read it again. You probably missed or overlooked something that you'll later realise is important.
