I HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE running, but only because I suck at it.. I am very competitive.. and I have started a strength training program and needed to add some cardio to it.. I decided to do the couch to 5k because I want to LOVE running.. I had my first session today and I am happy to report I stuck with it.. I was winded, and exhausted.. but I did it.. I would love the support of fellow newbie runners

Today was also my first day. I had some technical challenges since hubby uploaded the wrong podcast. I was having to time myself on my phone and that was distracting. I hope is Wednesday with my right podcast goes better.0

Oh yeah if your looking for a timer try Interval Timer its for Android phones and the best thing its FREE!!!! You have to mess around with the settings for a second because theres an anoying ticking and vibrating but once you take those specific sounds off it's the best thing I've used for this. Also you can listen to your music with the timer still running. You can here the beeps really good if you have headphones and did I mention its FREE!!!!!!0

You will have days where you just feel like you can't do it. The important thing is to keep moving, even if you have to walk the whole workout. Just don't move onto the next week until you have completed the 3 workouts per week as written. I've often heard to not be afraid to repeat a week or 2.....no shame in that! We all progress at different rates!
Yesterday when I did Week 2, Day 1, when I started I just felt like it was going to be a struggle from start to finish. As it turned out, the first couple run segments were tough, but then I got in the "groove" and really enjoyed it!
This isn't a race......we'll all get there in our own time!
Good Luck!0 -
I have done Wek 1 Day 1 a few times just because I can't seem to get a solid week together. Finally moved on to Day 2, which seems like a miracle. Only 8 1/2 weeks to go! :happy:0

I DID IT!!! and it was really not that hard - I walked at 3.0 MPH and Jogged at 4.0 MPH - It was not NEARLY as hard as I expected and I even (are you ready for this) enjoyed it!!!0 -
just completed day one and love it, wasn't as "hard" as i expected. been here before and never stuck to it but i have found a podcast to help me through and judging by today i think its really going to make the difference for me 0
