I’m starting couch to 5k tonight, anyone else?

[spitofyou]

It’s light as I’m leaving work so that’s it, the evenings are drawing out and by the time the clocks go back I want to make it to 5k.

ultimate goal is to be running a minimum of 5k by the time I go on holiday in the summer, so that I can run when I’m there.

I have never done 5k in 30 mins, likely never will.
Honestly I wouldn't stress!

It hasn't been a barrier for me, I "graduated" almost 2 years ago and have since run a few Halves, and this year am doing a marathon.

Still can't do 5k in 30 minutes :)

Thank you!

I knocked 10 mins off of my PB, and completed in a respectable 2 hours 20 minutes.

I ran every step. No stopping, no walking!

That's fantastic! I gather the weather was pants so even more well done!! 🏅

5k today in 31 mins and 24 seconds. Is that respectable?
I was bloody knackered as didn’t sleep well last night and I haven’t run since Friday so I do feel I have more in me. Will see what my next run brings.

That’s excellent, well done!

I finally started today!!! 😅
Week 1, Run 1 done.
It's taken a while to get to this stage but Im determined to do it.
Have promised my (super active) son I'll do a 5km park run with him in July so that's my goal.
I'm already so proud of myself 🙂

I know you're not meant to run on consecutive days but I had a little window today so took the opportunity to do Week 1, Run 2!
It felt good 🙂

Woman's Hour on couch to 5k apps with Jo Whiley who does the voice on one of the apps

Week 1, Run 3 done!

Is anyone else still doing this?

I've just completed Week 2, Run 2.
Feeling good and motivated.
I really do think it's an amazing programme and the app is fab (Jo Whiley is my trainer!) 🙂
