Hi all, I am starting the couch to 5k (again) this week. I am determined to finish it this time around and have no reason not too.
Would love some support from others who have started around the same time.
Is there a March 2019 group that I can join? I have had a look but could only fina a January group and those guys will be way too far ahead.

    I will commit to joining you. Maybe this will motivate me to get moving! I will start tomorrow!

    Yes, I started in January and finished in February. You can do this! Post your progress and we'll cheer you on

    Thank you both. I need a bit of accountability to make sure I stick at it this time.
    Well done on completin it @stoked2b! I am hoping to be in the same position by April or May.
    Would be delighted if you started too @Just_Ceci.
    I have just completed W1D1 and plan to do W1D2 on Wednesday.
    Have you started?

    I did W1D1 on Saturday. Winter is back in full force today. I will try again tomorrow, even if on a treadmill at the gym.

    Fantastic. It is great to have a few starting around the same time.
    Good start @Just_Ceci. I am going to do W1D2 tomorrow. I am doing it outside. So fingers crossed it is dry!
    @VanVanDiane keep us posted on how you and your other half are doing.

    Me me! I need something to help me stick to this! Not going to manage day one until Friday and will likely have to do Friday, Sunday, Tuesday as my days..... but I'm in!
  • VanVanDianeVanVanDiane Member Posts: 1,132 Member Member Posts: 1,132 Member
    W1D1 is done - and man was it cold running in the dark! I'll be glad when British summertime kicks in at the end of the month and the clocks go forward an hour - it'll be much more pleasant to run in daylight! How are you doing @pratainua and @Just_Ceci ?

    I did the first two days a couple of weeks ago and then lost momentum..... need something like this for accountability!

    Well done! I'm planning mine around days off / late starts..... would never be able to persuade myself to head out in the dark after work!

    I'm using the Zenlabs one, with Mapmyrun to measure distance as (weirdly) it doesn't do that
  • emmamcgarityemmamcgarity Member Posts: 1,483 Member Member Posts: 1,483 Member
    I started in February using the NHS podcasts instead of an app. Completed my first run in week 4 last night.
  • Just_CeciJust_Ceci Member Posts: 5,913 Member Member Posts: 5,913 Member
    I did w1d2 yesterday.

    I'm using the RunDouble C25K app. I bought the full version years ago and love it!

    I'm not doing my first run til Friday!
  • kilobykilokilobykilo Member Posts: 842 Member Member Posts: 842 Member
    Am I the only one that loses long messages!? Typed one out twice about the different apps / podcasts and both times hit 'done at the top instead if 'post reply' because it was no l longer visible so I forget about it..... need to learn and remember not to do that
