Day one of Couch to 5k program. I barley survived. I almost cried with the pain in my calves. After I controlled that - I almost puked. I did 1.06 miles run/walking & 1.56 miles with the added warm up/cool down. My pace was 17.23 min/mile. I am SLOW.
TMI: As soon as the 28.5 minutes were up, my colitis said hello and I had to sort of run to the bathroom (I had to run again!). For all the runners out there - is that normal?

Happens to me all the time, that's a lot of bouncing!!! I did the couch to 5k, it DOES get better, I promise!

My pace went from like 14:30 to 10:30 in just a few weeks, just don't quit! You'll get there!

It is normal, unfortunately. I often get really bad abdominal cramps after an exceptionally long run. I read that the cause of it is that your gastro track doesn't get as much oxygen because all available oxygen is heading to the muscles you're overworking. The good news is that as your cardio system improves so will the issues with post run cramping. Stick with it, it gets better!! Congrats on starting!!

Good for you!! Slow and steady wins the race, just don't push yourself too hard that you hurt yourself and make sure you take the recommended time off between runs. I finished couch to 5K this year and it was great! You'll get better over time. And the going to the bathroom is normal. There are port-o-potties at stops during long races because sometimes you can't make it to the finish line. They say exercise is good to keep things moving. :)

You are not slow, Jess. You are STARTING. Ramp it up a little at a time. I SO wish I could still run. Alas the right knee says no. I walk at 3 mph and that's about my limit. That is MUCH faster than I covered that mile when I started walking in April. In northeast Ohio we have to hibernate during winter.... :-)

Congratulations on your first steps to becoming a runner! Reddit's couch to 5k group has suggestions for a week -1, 0, and 1/2 program if you find you need to ease in a bit more. Do you have good running shoes? If not, I strongly suggest going to a specialized running store where they'll have you run on a treadmill and help pick shoes that work for your biomechanics. (Prior to doing that, I assumed running equaled ankle pain so I really hated running, but I've discovered the right shoes make a world of difference.) Pushing yourself to improve is good; crying in pain is not.
