I've been wanting to try out the Couch to 5k Challenge for a while now and figured that with all of the groups out there that I could start my own to help keep track. I say that we just post to check in every now and again to say how we're doing! If you don't know what the C25k is, it's a running program to help us out of shape couch potatoes become runners, you can find the whole program here: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml

    Hi,

    I would like to start this next week, I ran a 10k last year, having never run before, so this definately works either to start you running, or get you going again!

    Would you mind if I joined you from Tuesday?

    I'm interested as well! I've been looking for a program that will help me increase my running abilities (speed and distance). And the group motivation should help some to keep me on track!

    Just finished the first day, not as bad as I thought it would be!


    @curlyelm of course, you can join whenever, I completely understand that everyone has different schedules

    Hi
    I've just finished the first day of this ... I nearly died. I'm doing it with my 12 year old daughter who is waaaaaaay fitter than me. I really thought I would be able to jog for 60 seconds, but I think I only managed the full 60 once! I'm ashamed of how unfit I am :( I was shuffling along like an old woman! I think I might have to do week 1 more than once.

    Would be good to go through this with a group at the same stage of the programme here :)

    Finished week 1! Felt like I was going to die the first few times, but think I'm getting stronger... at one point today I got lost in a dream world and by the time I remembered to check my phone I'd been jogging (albeit slowly) for 2 minutes! Yay! I can't wait until I can get to the stage where I can run for 5 minutes plus!
