So excited!
I have been very slowly doing the couch to 5k program for about a year and a half (including time off for a fractured ankle).
Today I jogged for 25 minutes - near the end of the program!
I never thought I would get this far!
I have plenty of energy.
There are no limits to what you can achieve 
just keep hitting those goals and most importantly… enjoy!!!
I loved C25K. I had achilles surgery 3 years ago and have been kind of “off” running but I’m ready to start again. Oddly I now have to really think about my stride and foot strike - don’t want to ruin achilles # 2! Also doing it outdoors this time vs treadmill last time.
That feeling when you complete the first unbroken long run is incredible!
Great stuff. There’s a lot to be said for running 5K. Training is minimal, recovery is fast, health benefits are good, injuries are rare.
It’s short enough that you don’t get that “this will never end” feeling. Must be why they call them “fun runs”? My only issue with them is that the dollar cost/mile is pretty high usually, and often they are on hard pavement (which I avoid).
Well done.
It’s amazing when you get close to the end. I did the ones from the NHS (UK) Website - Couch to 5K
I got to week 6 before I consistently failed to get through them first time. I was also eating more and putting weight on as a result of the increased exercise. At 120Kg it was a lot of strain.
I gave up when I got a persistent cough and never got back into it. But, now that my weight has started coming down I might give it a go when the urge to exercise kicks in again.
