Couch To 5K -- Anyone Want To Join Me?



Recommended Posts

Well I started, stopped due to laziness and snow storms, started again, then stopped again due to illness, I have re-started yet again, and tonight did w2 d3, I am still run down, and managed to skip both Breakfast and lunch before my run, so I wasn't in the best place, and it felt very hard work, BUT I did 3.07 miles in 33 mins (which is 4.95 k - sooo close to the 5k mark!!), and in just the last couple of weeks my mile time has gone from 12.50, to 10.45.

I have asthma, and have always struggled to recover after exercise, and any serious cardio has made me really chesty for a couple of days afterwards, in the last couple of weeks that seems to have passed, I got very breathless in the last two runs tonight, and sounded like a walrus, but I recovered well afterwards, and no irritation to my chest at all now.

I am really surprised at how quickly I am feeling the difference, this is great, and I am determined to rock my first proper 5k by the time it arrives!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
