Couch to 5k buddies?

MePlus20

Hi All - I'm starting the Couch 2 5K program tomorrow. Just downloaded the app today and found out there is a way to add buddies for motivation. Is anyone else interested in doing this with me?

Sure, I'm in. I haven't ran properly in 6+ months so this will be a good way to ease back into it.

Sounds like fun. I was just starting my c25k back up anyway!

Friend me up! I'm just started week 7 and it has been going great.

I'd like to join you in this goal! I've always been very self conscious of running, so this may help me get over it.

Which app was it? The 9 week or 8 week version?

I've just started recently as well, on week 1 day 3 so feel free to add me! I need all the motivation I can get!

I started this morning- day 1.
Was wondering how people are finding it. I am 200+lbs at the moment and have never been a runner. I completed it though.
Any tips on how to keep going?

Get music you can get lost into. It helps tremendously I focus on breathing and my foot form - heal to toe, repeat - I don't count seconds. I don't watch the clock. And if I can, I add 5-15 seconds on to the end. So it's easier next time a little.

That sounds great! I'm planning on starting after I move to Montana because it's too hot here in AZ haha! So that will be like a week and a half and then I'm all in

I just downloaded the app and am starting today. I have never been a runner and have heel issues, but I am giving it a go! I am a Football official who needs to get back into 'game shape' by the start of the season. As a motivator, I am signing up for a Glow in the Park in mid-August. If I can be ready for that, I can be ready for the season ahead.

Wish me luck! Any words of encouragement are greatly appreciated.
