New and looking for friends!

posted 10 months ago | Report

Hello everyone! I'm new to dailymile and running. I was looking for a hobby and something to help get me healthier. I live near a bike trail so decided why not try running. I've never done it before and am starting the couch to 5k program. I could really use all the motivation and advice I can get. Please add me!

    I also started on the C25k program - never in a million years thought I'd run but I do! It's a great way to get started and before you know it you'll be pushing on to a 10k training program! :)

    I did the C25K program last year, and it really helped get me back into running after too many years away from it. Great choice!

    Welcome to DM! I did the couch to 5k program last year, it really does work. Two pieces of advice. Don't skips weeks in the program and don't be bummed if you have to repeat weeks. When I started I did the first week and thought it was too easy, but a friend warned me to take it week by week and assured me that it would be difficult soon enough. By week 4 (damn first 5 minute one) I had to repeat.

    Hi there and welcome to DailyMile.

    I'm sending a friend request to you. Congratulations on starting, with the bike trail nearby it should be straightforward for you, nice grades, good trails and mileage markers.

    Good news, you've already started with the motivation.

    Enjoy running.
