The Couch-to-5K Running Challenge - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

uli · 11-09-2006, 03:33 AM

Hi

More than a year ago after reaching my highest body weight in life 85kg I deceided to start running again.
I started with The Couch-to-5K program.
Program worked fine slowely improving distance...

3 workouts per week, 9 weeks and then it's you BIG 5K run.
Now I would just like to know if there are any enthusiasts to start The Couch-to-5K Running Challenge with me (of course I'll be running my distance now at least 6km per run) but I would like to run together with you to support you from one week to another.
I would share program for each week on my blog.
For motivation I must tell you a story which happened to me on my second 21K race about 2 weeks ago. A 72-year old lady (43 years older than me) who started to run marathons at 50 she beat me for whole 6 minutes

See it's never too late to start running.

love
Uli

ME to !!!
Would everyone like to start this program ? I would love to have others to share this with. I don't know what happened , but it looks like this one isn't going to start . I sure would like to get going with this, as the sooner I start the better as far as I'm concerned .

schellie · 12-07-2006, 08:23 AM

We could start our own. Ill njust do it indoors when its really cold here, and go out when I can. Id love to start? Should we repost another thread asking if anyone else would like to join? Let me know what you would like to do and when we will start. I cannot wait!

dollypie · 12-07-2006, 11:14 AM

Okay I am on Week 1 right now and would love to join you girls. Let me know.

kiwichic · 12-07-2006, 03:26 PM

good for you Dollypie, how's it going so far ?
Yes lets start a thread now and try and catchup with dollypie

it's raining here and seems to not want to stop

, but I'm not going to let that stop me. When do you all want to start, we don't want to get to far behind dollypie.

I checked and Uli hasn't logged onto 3FC since 11/14 so I think it would be a good idea if you ladies all start a new thread. You might get others joining in ... best of luck to you!
