TL;DR: Im going to start the couch to 5k program posted in the pinned thread. If you wish to join me, or if you would like to support me as an accountability comrade, please post here.
I used to be an athlete; a pretty good one ngl. I am no longer an athlete, to put it lightly. Theres nothing wrong with being overweight or out of shape if youre okay with it, Ill support you to the end. That life just isnt for me though. I need to get back in it and I want to hit it hard. This is an incredibly supportive and tight-knit community when it comes to self-betterment, and I want to take advantage of that.
Starting on Monday, December 21st, I will begin. I know this is a shitty time to start something like this with the cold and the holidays, but whatever. Im done. Im so fucking done and Im ready to get started. You dont have to stay in sync with me, and you can do whatever pace, level, and time that is appropriate for you. You dont even have to run, if you just want to hang out and support me and whoever else might join me. Thats super awesome and I preemptively thank you for your support.
If youre interested, post below. The more people who participate the easier it will be for us to hold each other accountable and stay motivated. Ill probably make a post about once a week detailing my progress and asking about everyone else's so we can stay updated.
Hell yeah, solidarity in your running efforts comrade! I've heard nothing but good things about couch to 5k, supposed to be a really good program
I'm in training for another event next year that I'm hoping won't be cancelled again now that we seem to have covid mostly under control here, and hoping to be sensible enough in my training to not make an old injury flare up again (or cause a brand new one)
Excellent! I hope your event doesnt get canceled. Either way, just be sure to stretch properly and recover as needed, and you should be fine. I believe in you!
