..And a little extra to finish my last lap as well!
I've always hated running my entire life, but I've always wanted to like it, so I decided to do something about it.
I started the couch to 5K (c25k) program 41 days ago, and today I finally completed it! My last run was 30 minutes long and I only ran about 3.8km, so it was a very ambitious goal to complete an additional 1.2km three days after my previous run.
A few things I noticed that helped me improve was learning proper breathing techniques for running, adjusting my pace (If your legs give up before your heart, you're running too fast) and most importantly, keeping a POSITIVE attitude and believing you can do it.
41 days ago I was out of breath after 1 minute of running, today I ran for over 40. In those 41 days, 25 of them was spent training for this. That's really not a long time if you think about it. If you've always wanted to get into running, I just want to let you know that you CAN do it. I'm 9 months into my weight loss journey, and I hope to reach my goal by the end of the year. I'm still very overweight, but if I can do this, I sincerely believe any one of you can too.
Your mind and your body are a lot stronger than you think. Don't let those negative thoughts get into your head. If you believe you can do something, you can do it.
