Day 3 training for my first 5k

2025/1/23 Edited to

... Read moreDay 3 of training for my first 5K has been an exhilarating experience! It’s hard to believe that I’m actually enjoying running, a notion that never crossed my mind before. This past week, I’ve been following the C25K (Couch to 5K) program, which is perfect for beginners like me. The program is designed to help novice runners gradually build their stamina and confidence with a mix of walking and running workouts. I made it through the first week, and I can genuinely say I feel stronger and motivated! As I lace up my running shoes for each session, I remind myself that every step is a win, no matter how small. There’s a vibrant community of beginner runners out there who share my enthusiasm, and utilizing hashtags like #5ktraining and #beginnerrunner have helped me connect with others on similar journeys. It's inspiring to see everyone supporting each other in this fitness endeavor. I can't wait to share my progress as I continue through Week 2 and beyond!

Training for my first 5K ever!!!🏃🏼‍♀️
I signed up for a breast cancer 5K on October 4, and I am NOT a runner. However, I thought this would give me a good reason to exercise and also support a good cause💗 My first run was a chill recovery run just to start off my 8 week journey. I used the Nike Run Club app and I love that this run

First day of training for my 5k
I have finally decided to get into running because well i’ve always hated it. I have asthma and POTS so running has always been hard. For my first day of training I did 1 minute run and then 1.5 minute walk and i did that 8 times! It was a lot easier than I thought. The only struggles was my chest
