I would love to work up to a 5k, im not sure how to start training. I have two kids and was given a double jogging stroller from a friend. I like having goals so I think this would be good for me to try and do. I just cant go very long right now.

Have you heard of the Couch to 5K program? It's 8-9 weeks (depending on the training schedule/app you choose) and it takes you through a training program to work from not running to running 5K. Loads of people here do the program and there is a group for it as well if you would like to join.

C25K really works as long as you stick to it and take it slow. If you try to do it too fast you'll burn out and feel like quitting. Once you can run for 30 minutes without stopping, it's an amazing feeling.

Another vote for Couch to 5K!

Couch 2 5K (C25K) is a fantastic training guide. It starts easy and works you slowly up in mileage/time. You can do it

Thank you for the info. I just bought a treadmill and am pretty lost on where to start.

I am on week 3 day 2. I have never run in my life. So far it has worked and I am encouraged by my progress
