Please tell me to get out for my Couch to 5K run

[CactusRabbit]

I'm doing couch to 5k, and need to go out for my next run. I know I'll feel better once I've done it, so before I wimp out, tell me to get out there please!

Ooh go go go and when you come back tell us which week and which run it was! I don’t want to hear about it now because you’ll get too distracted on your phone 😂

Couch to 5k is a load of nonsense. Anyone can do it if they've got a bit of grit - get on and do it girl.

It's all in the mind, hardly any of it is physical - really. It'll feel like hell for 5-10 minutes, push through it (all the legends do).

GO AND STOP OVER THINKING IT

I always think to myself, I’ve never ever felt anything other than better for having done exercise, getting out of the door is often the hardest part :)

Go for it, its a lovely evening.

Right, in walking out the door....see you in about half an hour!

Get your kit on while you're dithering. Next thing you know you'll be out the door.

I'm back! Took ddog with me. He had a walk even though I was running 🤣. I have just finished week 4.

I'm really enjoying the program. I went from doing half marathons and one marathon 8 years ago to basically stopping running overnight. Decided it was time to get back into doing some form of exercise, so decided to give it a go. I really like the structure of it all.

Well done for going out and getting it done!

Good work OP!

That’s ridiculous- running 5k is very physical for a lot of people. Don’t diminish others efforts!

I never thought my PE teacher would be a MNer.

I like C25k. It's much nicer having someone like Laura or Sarah Millican in your ear cheering you on than beetroot-faced PE teachers bellowing and belittling your achievements. By week 5 I'd run the furthest in one go in my life, and much nicer than death by 1500m running in a boring oval and being berated for taking a walk break.

Well done for getting out OP!

Well done op, proud of you. It’s warm and was presumably the end of the working day, not always easy to find the motivation so a big well done for you!

🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🙄🙄

Week done OP!
I just did mine too (wk3, run 3... Has taken me a month due to leg injury!) I hate this saying but they do say it's getting out there that's the hard part!
