Couch to 5k - anyone want to join me?

Ok, so after a term of being stuck at my desk, I've decided I really need to get back into exercising regularly and running. I'm going to do the couch to 5k (see nhs website if you're unsure), and just wondered if anyone wanted to join me in the process? You don't need to be fit to do it, the whole reason behind it is to encourage people back into running and exercise in general.

Oohh I'd be interested, definitely! I used to run for stress relief, before I had children. My girls are just old enough to leave with hubby now so I may consider taking to the streets of an evening to get back into it

YES YES YES!!! I haven't had the energy to run for nearly a year now and I'm really missing it. Just checked out the website and the plan looks great! Should we all start together at the same time? Thanks, Lizzie! You've massively cheered me up :)

Yeah, I think if we all start together then we'll all be on the same week together and can support each other through. I have to admit I went out on a week one earlier, but I have no problems with staying on week one until others are able to get in and join.

When is best for us to start? I'm excited to have running buddies now :)

ooo yes I'll join in, I go to the gym already, but the running side of things is where I need motivation so will be good to have some from here.

ooooh, loving the idea of having running buddies!

I'm actually downloading the podcasts right now. Can't wait to get started!

Lizzie - are you running outside or at the gym? Doesn't really matter, I guess. Just interested :)

Woods!! That sounds like quite exciting in terms of running! I'm in a city and so I think I'll avoid the tourists on the pavement and stick to the uni gym. I applaud your sense of adventure though! Right right right, when are we starting?

Monday maybe. It's a bit of a cliche to start something new on Monday. I'm up for Friday if you are! Then that gives people the whole of tomorrow to jump on board! :)

Ok, let's buck the trend and start on a fri. I've just realised I put this in support, not general, so I'll ask to get this one closed and start a new one in vets general.

Edit - have asked this to get moved to vets general, so keep an eye out :)
