Week 1 Run 1 done 💪

Well I'm back on it again! 4th times a charm, I can't believe the last time I completed couchto5k was almost 18 months ago!!!

I've planned ahead this time and already downloaded a second app which takes you from 5k to 10k for after I've completed it, so hoping I don't yet again complete it and then just stop!

Parkruns have been suggested to me as at least the distance matches, but I do my running on a treadmill so definitely feel the need to get back into it before I consider that!

Hi autumn_love …congratulations on the hardest run of the all, the very first one..getting out of the door is sometimes a big hurdle..but it sounds like it’s been well and truly nailed by you !!

I love your enthusiasm too, already downloading a programme to take you to 10k…it might be a previous but when you get to the end of the programme you should consolidate your running before you start to work on distance and time etc…just to keep building on those foundations and all that hard work…we also have a 10k programme on here too and a 10k forum so you’ll be in very good company!!

Good luck with the first part of your running journey, I wish you many very happy miles 😊

It doesn’t matter with Park Run what your capable of! There are people that just walk round the course walk /run run like a snail or like a hare! That is the beauty of park run! It caters for everyone!

At Christmas I was running full 5ks! I seriously injured myself at the end of January! I put Park Run on a Saturday as my 3rd run of the week from week 1!

I start following C25K on the way out and walk back with a bit of jogging! I start at the back to let bigger running packs set off in front of me! Give it ago you may surprise yourself!
