Starting out today

[Mellanv]

Been thinking about doing couch to 5k for months and finally started this morning. Found a good loop to use at home so hoping i find one near work too as i work away from home each week. Thinking positively. . .

Welcome to best forum ever. You are in good hand and have many people cheering you on already - enjoy the programme- it’s very cleverly constructed to keep you pushing yourself but all within totally achievable limits each week. Enjoy your journey 🙂

Well done for getting out there. I’m probably stating the obvious but you could do an out and back route if you can’t find a loop. I have an out and back that I do more than once when I can’t face the hills near me 😂

Thanks. Where I work is all hills! At least only one run there a week so fingers crossed!

Congrats on starting this amazing journey! I graduated yesterday in no small part due to the help, support and inspiration of everyone on this forum 😊 that first run was definitely my hardest, but l you will see real improvements every week (I think there's some kind of witchcraft involved 🤣)

Good luck! You CAN totally do this! 👍

Good luck - I'd done virtually no physical exercise for years but found the early weeks were OK...sure you'll be fine.
