For some context: I have started and restarted couch25K a multitude of times. I once even ran for 10 km. But I never ever stuck with it for long periods of time, causing me having to restart all the time. It wasn't motivating at all and I ran so slowly that I couldn't take myself seriously. The last time I ran consistently was april last year.
For the majority of 2019, I did no sports or activities whatsoever. In the middle of December last year, I decided I wanted to get fit again and lose weight. Instead of running, I started going to my local gym. So far so good, 18 pounds lost and fitter than ever. But then COVID-19 happened and my gym closed.
Because of that, I cracked out my running shoes and went for a run. After all the training at the gym I really hoped I would be able to run for 5 consecutive minutes. I ran for 23 minutes straight!! And I ran my lap about 2 minutes faster than I ever did.
For me that's a major non scale victory, I don't have to start from scratch anymore and I feel fitter than ever. If you are doubting to start your fitness/weight loss-journey, please do it because you'll feel so much better than the number on the scale!
tldr; lost some weight, able to run faster and longer than ever before.
