c25k week one day one!

[izzdino22]

Hi, first time poster long time reader here. Just got in from completing day one of couch to 5k! So tired but i think maybe worth it, just wondering if anyone else has started and how their experience has been so far / any tips

Sanity, I had a week off around week 3 and then just carried on so just try and if struggling repeat the week.

Jamie, good luck! Best advice is to just trust the programme and know it works and you can do it!

Morning. Started w1r1 today. Managed the run ok but struggle with the breathing as always. I'm going to try and push through it this time. I have 12 weeks till my holiday and could be running 5k by then!! That would make such a difference to my fitness and to my body shape.

Did it before years ago and managed to run for about 15 mins I think. I remember it feeling impossible that I ever would but somehow did.

One thing I did today was cover up the clock on the treadmill so I can't clockwatch. Am having to do it whilst the kids are in bed for now.

Thanks @vjg13 I struggled a bit with week 4 so I might repeat that one before I tackle week 5. I'm dreading W5R3!!!

I did w1r1! It was more tiring than I expected and it's hit home how overweight and underfit I am. What a stupid state I let myself get into.
But I will repeat the weeks as many times as I need to. I won't give up has to be my mantra.
Those of you ahead are amazing and completely brilliant!!

Love that there are so many of us at the same point to encourage each other!

Where did we all go? I did run 2 yesterday 👍🏻

I completed W9 R3 today. Keep going the new starters, it works!

Wow @Shepherdspyreads that's you completed? How do you feel? What will you do next?

W1 🏃🏻‍♀️3 ✅

W2 run 1 done. tough today.

Starting tomorrow and feeling v nervous.
Do you have to take the alternative days off as it suggests? Or can you just repeat it or move to next run level?

W2r3 done!

@Pamelaaa everything I've read said to take the day off but I have occasionally been doing a dvd in the in-between days
