It will get easier each time! Stick with it and repeat weeks if you need to and you'll be running continuously before you know it! It really works!!

Re: Couch to 5K newbie
It definitely gets easier. I went from not running to running 3 miles thanks to C25K. Just make sure you rest a day in between runs, it really makes a difference. You can always repeat weeks if you need to. Stick with it- it will get better!

I'm on week 2 myself. Tonight I did it on the treadmill at the gym. Definitely like it much better outside.

Re: Couch to 5K newbie
I'm right there with you! It has to get easier...at least that's what I keep telling myself.
All kidding aside. Running is one of my last obstacles I want to tackle. I'm really overweight so it's hard but I know like spinning and weight lifting and all the other things I've been working on I know I will get stronger and better at it. I just have to keep at it.
We should all keep checking in.

Re: Couch to 5K newbie
Trust me you can do it and repeat it if you have to. I could not run at all when I started last year and now I just did a half marathon and ran the entire time. Just keep up with it! Good Luck!
