[quote=Anonymous]I am not doing the couch to 5K, but I did just start running in the last 6 months. When I started, I was 20 pounds heavier and could only run 2 minutes at a time and "work out" (walk at a slow pace) for 20 minutes total. This week, I am up to 4.5 miles. My goal is to run a 10K this fall (or in the spring). I started off increasing the time I would run, so, for example, 4 minutes with 4 minutes walk, then decreasing the amount of time I would walk till I was running 1 mile, walking 5 minutes. Then I slowly started added 1/2 mile per week or two to the total run time. Now, about every 1-2 weeks I add a 1/2 mile (so hopefully by next week I will be at 5 miles). You can do it! I have lost weight (along with doing weight watchers( and have improved my general body tone and shape. I feel much healthier too. Good luck![/quote]
