Current couch to 5k friends?

[PurpleDaisies]

I’ve done this before but due to getting covid and an injury, I’m having another go to get back into running. Just done my first run (I thought week 4 might be roughly the right place to start) and remembered why I both love and hate running!

Anyone else interested in some motivational chat? I’m guessing lots might start in Jan but I’m trying to get ahead of the game!

W9R2 done today!

I avoided it yesterday, and the day before. But couldn't hide from myself any more. I know it's because I've built up finishing the course into a HUGE DEAL - I've been trying to finish since I started running again june 2020. I had covid March 2020, and was doing well until Feb 2021 when I hurt my back. Managed to restart in May 2021, hurt my back again in July. Then restarted August, and was doing well till Covid in November 2021. Started it again December 2021 and taken it easy.

I've run 10ks and half marathons, never fast but loved running.

And I loved running today.

So keep going, folks, you will get there. It will work out and the sense of achievement will be worth it.

Hello, may I join?
This is my fourth time on C25K in the last couple of years. I'm really good at starting, just as good at finishing, but then I run for a couple more weeks before getting sidetracked and abandoning. I really want to keep going beyond graduating this time, and am hoping that you'll have ideas to keep me motivated.
I had to back to W3 this time, and have made it to W7R3 - it's finally starting to feel good again.
I've signed up for a 10k in July, so hopefully that will help me stay motivated.
