You all can do it! I graduated in August 2010 after never running before in my life! I just ran 10k the other day for the first time. I know you can all do it and you'll feel incredible when you're done!
Good luck & congrats!0 -
joining in and starting tomorrow.
I've done it before and ran two 5Ks right after completing it. Looking forward to getting back on a running programme.0 -
I wish there was a couch to 1k, or maybe even a 2k....for us beginners.:grumble:0

Hi,
I'm doing it as well. I've had to repeat a few days. I've made it to week 3, and this is where I've spent the bulk of my time thus far

Starting this up this week! Loaded it onto my phone a couple days ago and wanting to try it out.0

Did week 1 day 1 tonight. It was a little easier then I expected but I hate running. I am hoping to change that aoon.
If I stick with it then it will be a great birthday present for me.0 -
I'm starting tomorrow. I started earlier this year but stopped because I went on holiday for a month. Now I want to start again and finish it. I find that once I get to about week 3 I need to do each week twice before I can move on so takes me twice as long as everyone else! I'm keen for support buddies along the way.0

Just came back in from Day 3 Week 1 of the Couch to 5K program with my wife. It was much easier today and I was less winded. I'm learning how to breath while jogging and pace my self better. Today i did Day 28 of the 30 day shred and Day 3 of Couch to 5k so I burned 992 calories doing 78 minutes of cardio exercises, including jogging and strength training Lets Go #teamfitandsexy0

Well today was supposed to be my wk 1 day 3 workout but instead i just walked the treadmill and did the elliptical. I will either do it tomorrow morning or when I get off from work.....but good thing is, I did work out :-)0

I'm on Week 2 / Day 2 - Love the app! It only has 3 runs per week and I've been running 4-5 times a week, so I repeat Week 1 / Day 1 a few times a week. I figure the extra running can't hurt. I can't wait to tell everyone I lost weight because of my iPhone!0

I started last night after thinking about it for weeks. I was scared to do it but happy with myself when I was done. I downloaded the RunDouble app to my phone and loved it. Will be running again tomorrow night. Good luck everybody!!!0

I started on Friday...and it went really well. I was able to keep up and I wasn't out of breath. Today will be day 2, for me....Week 1.0

Remember you need a rest day in between each run day to rest Don't do the program back to back!
Each session should take about 20 or 30 minutes, three times a week. That just happens to be the same amount of moderate exercise recommended by numerous studies for optimum fitness. This program will get you fit. (Runners who do more than this amount are doing it for more than fitness, and before long you might find yourself doing the same as well).
Be sure to space out these three days throughout the week to give yourself a chance to rest and recover between efforts. And don't worry about how fast you're going. Running faster can wait until your bones are stronger and your body is fitter. For now focus on gradually increasing the time or distance you run.
Run for time, or run for distance
There are two ways to follow this program, to measure your runs by time or by distance. Either one works just as well, choose the option that seems easiest for you to keep track of. If you go with the distance option, and you are not using a track to measure the distances, just estimate. It's not important to have the distances absolutely exact.
Before setting out, make sure to precede each session with a five-minute warmup walk or jog. Be sure to stretch both before and after.0
