      23:31 Excellent pace for absolute beginner. We need more recovery time after flu and must mind the fact that connective tissue strengthens much slower than muscles adapt and endurance builds up. Kudos for stretching program from 6 to 8 weeks, which is still "at the edge" for Couch residents.
      Please have "From 5k to 10k" project with same beautiful people.

      I started running with C25k and still remember the evening that I did my first 5km non-stop! A drizzly evening in Buckinghamshire 8 years ago and I've never looked back! Congratulations to everyone who completed it and I hope you too get the running habit!

    • @Elldrak
      @Elldrak Před 6 měsíci

      If anyone is wondering about starting this, my wife and I began the C25k app during the pandemic. We had zero running experience, and in fact, we’re both very overweight and hated running. But we wanted to change ourselves.
      In 2020 after the lockdown there wasn’t much to do but go outside and wander around, we figured it was a time to make a change in ourselves and this app started us off on a wonderful journey! It was tough at first, we remember struggling to run for the full 1min time sections. The “run for 3min” seemed impossible.
      However, we pushed through, we ran the 5k, we loved it. We pushed harder, we ran a 10k. Last year, my wife ran her first half marathon. I was injured unfortunately and couldn’t compete. But this year! We both have a half scheduled, an international 10k we’re excited for, and our first Olympic triathlon!
      Next year, we plan on completing a 70.3. This C25k app was without a doubt the best decision of our lives. It’s given us so much and we cannot recommend it enough!

    Sorry for your loss Harriet. You absolutely nailed the reason why many of us swim, bike, or run. It’s for those moments of stillness, escape, freedom.

  • @ericrichardson7575

    My best advice: if it sucks, slow down. For WAY too long I ran too fast for my fitness level and never liked running. Eventually I did a slow run with a friend and finished thinking WOW, that was great! Keep pace "conversational". Screw speed.

    • @viatori5566
      @viatori5566 Před 6 měsíci +1

      Came here to say the same. If you're gasping at all for air in the first few months, you're running way way too fast.

    • @tomatrix7525
      @tomatrix7525 Před měsícem

      I‘d agree, especially at the start. When you get more serious about running and focused on times, then you can work more on becoming ‚comfortable being uncomfortable‘

  • @viatori5566
    @viatori5566 Před 6 měsíci +11

    For everyone who wants to do this, start at a slow speed. No, slower than what you just thought. SLOW. If you're unable to talk, you are going way way too fast.
    Trust me, in the first few months, your speed will improve by leaps and bounds. Save the hard effort for when your tendons and joints have adapted.

    I started running 2 months ago with a couch to 5k plan using an app. I was unable to run 1 minute without being out of breath. So i kept repeating week 1 until i felt comfortable. I had to repeat week 3 also. Now i am able to run 5 minute intervals! I highly recommend you guys to try these couch to 5k apps like the one in the video. Its amazing how much progress i made each week. Dont forget to stretch properly before and after warmups and cooldowns. Also my biggest tip is to dont be afraid to repeat a week if you are struggling.

    • @ngplus707
      @ngplus707 Před 2 měsíci

      I had a very different approach and got to a sub 30 minute 5k in 6 weeks. Similar to you I couldn't run a minute without being out of breath. I also had side cramps everytime I tried to do anything cardio intensive. Instead of continuing to run, I switched to 3x 45 minute fast walking sessions for the first 3 weeks. Once a week I'd do jump rope exercises for 10-15 minutes prior to running. At first the muscles in my feet were getting very sore from jumping and I'd feel my tibialis anterior muscle hurt within the first 10 minutes of the walk, but those issues slowly went away after 3 weeks of training. I should mention that cardio wasn't the only thing I did. I also did 2 days of full body strength training, since improving my cardiovascular fitness is only one of my goals, among getting stronger and building some muscle.
      At week 4, I noticed that my heart rate was lower even when walking as fast as I could, which prompted me to do slightly weighted walks instead. Just 5kg in a backpack would increase my heart rate enough to comfortably be in zone 2 with a fast walk, without overstriding (which might to have been one of the issue that lead to my tibialis anterior soreness). Week 4 was also the first time I reintroduced a run once a week. I felt a big difference from my first run attempts already. Not only were there no side cramps anymore, but I could run for 5+ minutes straight.
      Because my heart rate was still going up very high during the run I decided to slow down the tempo in week 5 and managed to run a total of 5k with 3 1-minute walking intervals to bring the heart rate down. I finished in 29 minutes.
      In week 6 I decided to slow my pace down even more, which honestly felt extremely unnatural, but I wanted to keep my heartrate lower to try and finish the 5k in one go and I did it in 28 minutes. In the end it felt like I had more energy left in the tank so I might've even shaved off a minute if I didn't try to focus on heart rate so much. I'll have another run today and see how it goes, but the reason I'm typing all this is to say that a lot of different approaches will work for untrained individuals so there isn't necessarily a need to obsess over a specific program in my opinion. I feel like the strength training I did has also helped me prevent injuries I see a lot of people have in their couch to 5k plans. Obviously specificity becomes more important in the intermediate to advanced level of performance, but I feel like beginners can get away with a lot less running and achieve very similar results while minimizing the injury risks.

    What a great video journey for so many. Brought back memories of my own early days, and more recently of my wife who did C25K and has since tackled a few 10K races and two half marathons in her 50s, after doing basically zero for 35 years. Brilliant to see such happy faces having battled to achieve their goal. Good to see the channel target newbies to sports too - we all start somewhere, with much the same issues faced and surprise at our own success.

    Congrats to all. Looking forward to the Half Marathon challenge ;-) Random thought: I found it very amusing to hear them complain about the weather, but that's because 2C and rain is warm by our standards for the winter in Montreal. In fact, that was the weather last Thursday. I wanted to go for XC skiing in the park, stepped outside, noticed the rain was far worse, thought the tracks will be *beep* and though to myself: whatever, at least it's warm and there is no ice on the ground, so I can go for a 40 minute run.
