I am doing the Couch to 5k program. Since I am new to running - I wonder how long does it take before a person is really ready to run a 5k?

Completed the first Day of Couch to 5K!
I know just Day 1 is minor - but a huge step for me. Haven't been very active and never able to run before (Always tried to just start running). The Couch to 5K program is great - put it on my android phone - so I know when to change from walking to running, etc. Posting simply to make myself accountable and to embrace my…
