Join me for Couch to 5 k?

[Alwayslearning25]

Hi, I am on week 2 run 1. I enjoyed week1 run 3. Anyone want to join. My motivations are weight loss, mental health and improve my fitness. I'm a mum of 2 little ones and have had depression before, am feeling on the verge of it again. I'm also the heaviest I've been in my life.

I don't have a treadmill, gym subscription or the time to go to the gym.

the couch to 5k and and actual 5 k are completely different things for me 🤣

I have run 5k a couple of times now, it’s takes me 40 minutes with no walking. My next goal is to build up my stamina and progress to a 10k, I’d just like to get a little faster before I move onto longer runs.

I’ve had a bit of a wobble this week. Couldn’t complete week 4, run 2 and gave up with 4 minutes to go…my legs were killing me! I didn’t do anything at the weekend and I ached so much I could hardly walk (think it’s hormone related) but
going to repeat it tonight at the gym after work and hope for the best!!

Somehow I’ve managed to complete it, I can’t believe it. Thank you everyone on here who helped me get through the hurdles (especially at the start!). Hope you all have a lovely Christmas x

Well done daisyelle. I have not, kind of got into my dance style home workouts instead. May pick it up in the spring as I don't have a treadmill.
