Couch to 5k - Start from 1st oct'13

fitin3m

I am not good at running or jogging but would like to push myself to start with it at least from next month. I am going to start from 1st of October and see how I handle with breathing day by day. Anyone want to join to keep track of progress?

I set myself a goal to run a local 10k next may, haven't run for a while.
Got the couch to 10k app and have just started week 5
Really surprised with how I have got on with running longer periods.
I am trying to pace each mile so am not bothered about how fast I am running but keeping a steady pace.
I use the runtastic app ( free) in the background so I can keep a log of distance, speed, elevation etc. You can also sync it to MFP.
This is a really good motivator as well.
Good luck on your journey, and remember not to over do it and use the rest days to stretch and do 20 minutes walking. I found this helped my recovery.

Thanks for your inspiring words. I hope I can stick to the program and reach the target.

I have tried C25K twice. I reached week 6 and then got sick with meningitis. I tried again, but gave up too quickly. I'll start on Oct. 1st with you!

I'm game. Since I finished school, I don't have my workout buddy anymore. It's hard doing this by myself. Trying to make running a part of my lifestyle again. Are you running outside or on a treadmill?

Today begins Week 9 for me (I fell a little behind when I became sick.) If you're an aspiring runner, this program is definitely for you! Week 1 I could BARELY run 1/10th of a mile. Now I'm running over 2 miles at one time. If I can do it, anyone can do it. Good luck and I hope you love the program is much as I have!

I'm in, I'll start today! I've had the app for a while and have started it a few times and gave up after week 3 both times.. I have set a goal to run, walk and or bike 80 miles in October.. This is perfect! I always seem to stick with things more when I have others expecting an update!! Let's do this!! feel free to add me, updates every Sunday..
