  • This is so cool. Thanks to everyone who accepted my invite etc. The temperatures some of you guys run and cycle in are mental. In my part of the world if we get to 20 degrees we're happy.

  • The most important thing in couch to 5k is to complete the program. After that just run. Once you start to run as other people have mentioned slowing to a walk may disrupt your rhythm.

  • I started my running in winter. A treadmill was ideal. You get a lot of people saying treadmills are awful, run outside and thats fine. End of the day you just need to RUN.

  • Hello. Really good set of comfortable headphones and some high tempo music combined with the Couch to 5K training plan. Worked for me and I'd never been a runner. It's taken me about 6 months to go from zero to comfortably running 5K. Not a fast 5K but I get there.
