Got started with one of the things I want to do this year and did my first #CouchTo5K run/walk.
-
@jamie The run-walk combination works really well. Good for you!
@WTL Thanks!
-
3rd run and “Week 1” done!
All of the 3 runs I’ve done so far have been 60 seconds of running with 90 seconds of fast paced walking inbetween. Today felt the easiest for me. Guess I’m ready for the next stage.
️@jamie Nice job dude! Keep it up!

️@jamie Fantastic work. I'd really like to do Couch to 5k, I started it once, but didn't managed to see it through.

@missiongiraffe Thanks! This is my 3rd attempt at it.
I bet you’ve got some fantastic views where you are. That would be a great place to do it!

️It took a little longer to complete “Week 2” of #CouchTo5K because of life things getting in the way, so those runs were more spread out. I’ve just completed the first run of “Week 3” now though!
Run - 90 seconds
Walk - 90 seconds
Run - 180 seconds
Walk - 180 seconds
Run - 90 seconds
Walk - 90 seconds
Run - 180 secondsThe last run felt the most difficult but honestly didn’t feel that bad. So much so that I was finished a little earlier in regards to distance on my usual route for this run, so I added another 180 second walk followed by another 90 second run at the end.
Feeling good!

@jamie Yeah I remember there being a point in the C25K program where the difficulty ramped up quite a bit. Keep it up though!

@jamie Oof. It’s like that how to draw an owl meme. Draw a circle, now draw an owl.
