I've signed up for a 5K run on October 21st! I'll be running it in the Korean city of Gyeongju- it's gorgeous there so I thought it would help motivate me. So excited (and nervous)-109 days to go!

Wow that really is motive! Beats running around muddy wet lanes like I've been doing tonight. Yuk it's enough to make u want to quit but I didn't, I still have hopes for a 5k jog on a summers eve

I can't concentrate on 2 things at once although I am a woman so i should! I think we will do this and it'll all fall into place, well I'm hoping

But isn't it even more important- surely putting good stuff in your body helps with the exercise?
If you're finding it hard try eating one healthy meal every day and building it up. Every little helps! I did Week 5 Run 1 yesterday. I actually found it okay but it makes me even more apprehensive about Run 2. Loving how I am feeling fitter and healthier though. Off swimming tonight. Hoping I can work that in with my runs so I'm doing both Cardio and Resistance in the week!

Hi Members
Can anybody give me the plan for this please?
Also did anyone start it having never run before?
I havnt been to the gym for ages and I'm very overweight, would love to get my Target 10% weight loss at Slimming World but I hate the gym

Hi if you have an iPhone download the "get running app" if not I do believe if you google Nhs couch to 5k programme you will get some information on a very similar plan that has links to download to an mp3, the other way to do it is to write the plan down and do it with a stop watch but that's a bit fiddly and you don't get the encouragement from the voice to keep going. Good luck... I know if it gets me running then it'll work for anyone, w5r3 to complete later then I may actually feel like I'm nearly a runner

Must add I've not lost any weight doing this at all yet, but I do think that as the runs get more intense that it may happen (hopeful face)
