Couch 2 5K? Can I do this?

I have never run in my life. Hate it actually. But after reading about it I feel like it would be such an accomplishment. How do you time yourself? Anyone else try it and like it if you have ZERO running experience? TIA! Any advice/ feedback is welcome.

Yes! I was never a runner and decided to do this 2 years ago. I stuck with it and now I'm training for a half marathon! You can do it!!!

Re: Couch 2 5K? Can I do this?

You can definitely do it. First check with your doctor to make sure everything is ok. Then make a commitment. 4 years ago, I never ran more than down the block, now I am working on doing a marathon in all 50 States, and I am training others to run also. My wife and I are doing 2 marathons and one 1/2 this year, just because I make a line in the sand and said I am doing it. You can do it!

Keep us posted

YES, YES, YES!

I started the program 3 years ago and could barely last the 60 seconds during the first week. A year and a half later I ran my first marathon! I've done another one since and a few half's. It's a great program, good luck!
