My experience with the Couch to 5k <3

I started this program with zero confidence, zero stamina and a LOT of fear…

but it truly has changed my life.

Here’s what surprised me the most:

• The first week felt impossible, even though it was only a minute of running at a time 🥲

• The feeling I got after completing my first 5 minute run, I started to actually believe I could make real progress

• That pacing is actually very important (The phrase “run slower than you think” was a real life saver)🙏🏻

• That I can actually run in public! I thought it was scary and I didn't want people to look at me at first but now I'm starting to get over that fear

• And finally, YES you actually DO get better! 💕

If you're thinking about starting Couch to 5k, DO IT!

Save this post if you need motivation ❤️
