Couch to 5k Week 2 Day 1

[Fitness2025]

I was really dreading this run but managed it by running slowly at first. But the end I pushed myself I bit and sprinted for 1min 20seconds just for fun.

You've made a great start to C25K

Remember, at this stage it's not about speed, it's just about doing the runs safely and gradually increasing them.

Here's the pinned post which should give you lots of useful guidance on how to get the best from the program healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Good luck and happy running!

Well done to you, and, as Yesletsgo suggests... no need for speed. There is a way to go yet! This is a great programme, ease back and enjoy it!

Excellent work!! Excellent result!

Slow starts set you up really well.

Keep us posted on the rest of your week...

Well done you're ahead of me so I'm interested to see how you go. Slow slow slow gets you there, Speedy Gonzales can come later on, although my current velocity is more like a fast snail...

Thank you! Where are you up to? And I agree I am too a fast snail!

I’m next out for Week 1 Run 3 on Saturday so snail in pace and snail in progress….

Nice! You've got this! Also snail in pace will always most definitely win the race!
