I Tried the Couch to 5K Running Program (full experience)

[00:00] hi I'm Sierra I'm Jess we don't run no

[00:03] but uh that changes now starting today

[00:06] we are going to try to follow the couch

[00:08] to 5K program running 3 days a week

[00:11] increasing run intervals until in theory

[00:14] cuz I'm not actually sure how much I

[00:15] believe I'm going to be able to do this

[00:17] you will be able to do it in theory at

[00:19] the end of this we are going to be able

[00:21] to run a 5k 3.1 miles so today is week

[00:25] one run one let's freaking run I got

[00:27] winded walking here we're using using

[00:30] the watch to 5K

[00:35] app we start with a 5 minute warm up

[00:38] brisk

[00:40] walk all right 1 minute till our first

[00:43] run

[00:47] interval we're on our first run interval

[00:50] 3 seconds and

[00:52] walk now we just rinse and repeat that

[00:55] eight times

[01:04] this be

[01:06] [Music]

[01:11] last we've got a minute left of our cool

[01:15] down feeling good look we get this

[01:18] little little award well done you ran

[01:20] for 8 minutes we did

[01:23] it run one in the books how'd you feel

[01:26] pretty good the initial nerves are gone

[01:28] you know I feel a l slightly more

[01:31] confident that we'll be able to do this

[01:32] at least that like I'm starting at a

[01:34] point where the beginning is doable oh

[01:37] 100% so that I have to believe that my

[01:38] body can adjust with the increasing

[01:41] intervals and build the stamina so that

[01:43] in uh 3 months or so we can do a 5K and

[01:47] we can sing the whole time Pink Pony

[01:50] Club I'm going to keep on daning we just

[01:52] finished our first run it was really fun

[01:55] it's like ironically the Run did not

[01:58] wind me but walking back to my car did

[02:01] it was so nice having SE like with me

[02:03] cuz I feel like I get so in my head when

[02:04] I'm running and in the past like I've

[02:06] used running as kind of a meditative

[02:07] thing to get me you know into my body

[02:09] and out of my head and it's always kind

[02:11] of backfired that's something I was a

[02:12] little nervous about and so having her

[02:13] there and also like she was counting at

[02:15] the times and we would be like talking

[02:17] when we were running which is also part

[02:18] of the couch to 5K you're supposed to be

[02:20] able to you know talk I was more nervous

[02:21] showing up today than I was excited and

[02:24] now I'm just excited I definitely think

[02:25] I have a history of like shin splints

[02:27] and some other stuff so I'm going to

[02:28] preemptively kind of handle that um I

[02:31] didn't notice anything too bad today I

[02:33] just want to make sure I'm on top of

[02:34] that okay run one in the books and I

[02:37] feel good I feel motivated and just

[02:40] really excited that we're doing this I'm

[02:43] four months postpartum right now and I

[02:46] just I really want to feel more

[02:48] connected to my body I want to be really

[02:50] consistent with my exercise and I want

[02:51] to also increase my stamina and I feel

[02:54] like doing this and trying to run a 5k

[02:56] having that tangible goal is hopefully

[02:58] going to be a a really really good

[03:00] motivator to keep me consistent work on

[03:02] all those things and hopefully feel

[03:04] really accomplished at the end of this

[03:06] if I'm able to do it and running like

[03:08] this trying to do a 5k is this is not

[03:10] something I've done since I was like a

[03:11] teenager I played soccer growing up so I

[03:14] ran a lot but it was always like the

[03:16] means to an end of keeping up on the

[03:18] field like it it was always for

[03:20] conditioning I never would just run to

[03:23] run and this is this is something I want

[03:25] to do for myself build stamina connect

[03:28] to my body be assistant and prove to

[03:31] myself that I can do

[03:34] [Music]

[03:46] it always

[03:57] [Music]

[04:08] [Music]

[04:10] all right y'all I have finished my first

[04:13] two weeks of couch to 5K I'm six runs in

[04:16] and feeling really good I did not expect

[04:19] to enjoy running as much as I do but I

[04:22] think starting with these lower

[04:24] intervals and slowly building up the

[04:26] stamina everything has felt really

[04:29] doable and it's made it more fun because

[04:32] the running doesn't feel like a strain

[04:34] or a punishment it's something I'm

[04:36] enjoying and and looking forward to and

[04:38] also something that is within my range

[04:41] of capability so I hit all my runs both

[04:43] weeks week one doing the one minute

[04:45] intervals everything felt pretty

[04:48] consistently easyish and then week two

[04:51] moving up to 990c intervals I kind of

[04:54] had that same mindset at the beginning

[04:55] of my first round I was like wow this

[04:57] really doesn't feel any different this

[04:58] is so easy and then I really started to

[05:00] feel it on my last few intervals and

[05:03] really slowed my pace so that's

[05:04] something I'm working on now is not you

[05:06] know going too hard right out of the

[05:08] gate and just really keeping a nice

[05:10] consistent slow pace that I can maintain

[05:13] through my whole run week two I was gone

[05:15] for 3 days we went on a trip with Disney

[05:18] and so I didn't want to run on that trip

[05:19] since we were doing so much walking so I

[05:21] just had to be strategic with planning

[05:23] out the runs making sure that I did one

[05:25] before the trip and that the day I got

[05:27] home even though I was really tired

[05:28] doing my second run so that then I could

[05:30] have a rest day before my third run at

[05:32] the end of the week and I think doing

[05:34] this couch to 5K program definitely

[05:37] keeps me accountable I really don't want

[05:39] to miss a run because I know that would

[05:41] set me back in terms of building up that

[05:44] endurance so even though I was dragging

[05:45] my feet a little bit on that uh week two

[05:48] run two wanting to stay on track with

[05:51] this training program is really what

[05:53] motivated me to to get up and go to the

[05:55] gym anyways so yeah feeling good I'm

[05:57] excited and slightly nervous for week

[06:00] three where I'm now going to have to run

[06:03] for 3 minutes non-stop which sounds like

[06:05] a lot I mean that's double what I've

[06:07] done up until this point so fingers

[06:10] [Music]

[06:13] crossed it's amazing how a minute and a

[06:15] half felt so easy knowing that my next

[06:18] interval is 3 minutes I'm a little

[06:20] nervous for this 10

[06:22] seconds and then I'm running for 3

[06:24] minutes the longest I have yet here we

[06:26] go and done wow 2 weeks ago running for

[06:30] 3 minutes nonstop would have seemed

[06:32] unconceivable that was okay that felt

[06:35] good

[06:41] [Music]

[06:44] [Applause]

[06:53] [Music]

[07:17] I'm running on vacation here on Pismo

[07:20] Beach it's gorgeous and I just did my

[07:23] first 5 minute interval I was nervous

[07:26] but I did it I am surprised by my own

[07:28] capability

[07:30] [Music]

[07:42] that was

[07:44] hard I'm going on my third run of week

[07:47] four and I've kind of been dreading it

[07:49] because run two was terrible I don't

[07:52] know why I struggled so much with that

[07:54] run it was the same as we as run one and

[07:57] the first one felt fine but for whatever

[07:59] reason it felt like the longest

[08:01] intervals of my life I felt exhausted I

[08:04] was not enjoying it so kind of been

[08:07] dreading going back out for a run again

[08:09] whereas up until this point running has

[08:11] been something that I've been really

[08:12] looking forward to so I forced myself

[08:14] out of the house a little early today so

[08:17] I don't have time to overthink it and

[08:19] I'm hoping hoping it feels slightly more

[08:22] [Music]

[08:27] doable last 30 seconds of my last run

[08:31] interval oh my God this was like night

[08:33] and day difference from my second run

[08:36] this week oh my gosh like I feel tired

[08:39] right now but not depleted like it's a

[08:41] little bit of a push this last minute or

[08:43] two but I'm not miserable

[08:46] so maybe it was just an off day and also

[08:49] I'm finding that I have a much easier

[08:51] time running outside than I do running

[08:53] at the

[08:57] gym I am now officially 1 month in to

[09:01] the couch to 5K program the last two

[09:03] weeks week three and four went pretty

[09:05] well for the most part week three was

[09:07] honestly like a breeze as much as I had

[09:09] kind of worked it up in my head doing

[09:10] those 3 minute intervals I feel like my

[09:12] body was really ready for that and that

[09:14] week marked the switch of doing now more

[09:17] running than walking with the intervals

[09:19] hit all my runs I also increased um the

[09:22] strength training that I'm doing on my

[09:23] off days cross training like that

[09:26] obviously good for building strength but

[09:27] also should eventually

[09:29] helped me run faster I feel like week

[09:31] three I really hit my stride for lack of

[09:34] a better word like I got into a good

[09:36] group uh it's part of my routine now I

[09:38] go running in the morning usually I feel

[09:41] like it's been really good for my mental

[09:42] health too and I just really look

[09:44] forward to to getting out having my run

[09:46] time and then week four we upped it to

[09:50] uh alternating between 5 minute run

[09:52] intervals and 3 minute run intervals and

[09:55] that first run I was pretty nervous for

[09:56] the 5 minutes but honestly was fine I

[09:59] was out on vacation for that first run

[10:01] so I was like running on the boardwalk

[10:03] and it was just it was cool I enjoyed it

[10:05] now my second time doing this exact run

[10:08] for whatever reason could not have been

[10:10] a more different experience this was by

[10:13] far the worst run of the video honestly

[10:16] week four run two I was like questioning

[10:19] why am I doing why am I even doing this

[10:21] regretting My Life Choices um I here's

[10:24] the thing I had also just been kind of

[10:25] having a hard couple days and I had

[10:27] actually pushed the run off a day

[10:29] because I didn't want to do it was

[10:31] having a really hard time and then I

[10:34] finally got myself to go to the gym and

[10:38] do the run and here's the thing running

[10:40] at the gym feels like a freaking

[10:42] eternity whereas running when I'm

[10:44] running out and about like the time goes

[10:46] by so much faster I tried to make this

[10:48] more fun for myself cuz I knew I had

[10:50] kind of been dreading it I knew it might

[10:51] be hard I brought like my little phone

[10:53] scroller for Tik Tok so I could watch

[10:55] Tik Tok while I ran honestly that didn't

[10:58] help at all I still absolutely hated

[11:01] this run and it was humbling I felt 10

[11:04] times more tired than I did doing the

[11:06] first run of week four I just absolutely

[11:09] hated it it was a terrible run and I

[11:11] felt bad after too I had kind of told

[11:13] myself you know I'm giving myself a pep

[11:16] talk I'm like you know just get up go to

[11:18] the gym do your run you can watch Tik

[11:20] Tok you can have some alone time you're

[11:23] going to feel so good after think of how

[11:25] good you're going to feel after and then

[11:26] after I was like I feel terrible inside

[11:29] and out so that sucked but here's the

[11:31] thing I went back out for run three 2

[11:34] days later and I did it out of the house

[11:36] this time and mentally I was in a better

[11:39] place and let me tell you that run was

[11:42] great it was a breeze oh my God I'm so

[11:44] glad I didn't let that one bad Run keep

[11:47] me down because week four run three I

[11:50] was right back to where I was with the

[11:51] first run that week I felt good I

[11:53] enjoyed it yeah for the 5 minute

[11:55] intervals I had to like push myself a

[11:56] little bit but a healthy amount of

[11:59] pushing and it wasn't The Struggle Bus

[12:02] that week four run two was so I don't

[12:05] know what was up with me that day but I

[12:06] think it's a good reminder that like

[12:08] there's going to be bad runs and I I

[12:11] shouldn't just you know throw in the

[12:12] towel because of that push through try

[12:15] again um also I think I I think I need

[12:18] to just stop running at the gym on the

[12:20] treadmill the the time just ticks by so

[12:22] slowly and I really enjoy being outside

[12:26] I've loved doing like Trail runs and

[12:29] runs at the park it's just it's nice so

[12:32] now I am headed into week five I'm

[12:35] actually about to go do my first run of

[12:37] week five and this week we are ramping

[12:39] up to running 20 minutes non-stop which

[12:43] seems like a huge jump but also starting

[12:45] this week I'm now no longer doing like

[12:48] the same run intervals every Run for the

[12:50] week it's changing now so like today

[12:52] week five run one I'm running for 15

[12:55] minutes broken up into three 5 minute

[12:57] intervals run two this week I jump up to

[13:00] doing two 8 Minute intervals with just

[13:02] that one short walk in between the two

[13:05] and then couple days after that we drop

[13:08] that walk interval all together and up

[13:10] it to uh 20 minutes non-stop I'm

[13:14] anticipating possibly having to repeat

[13:17] this week like I'm anticipating maybe

[13:19] not being ready for that but I don't

[13:21] want to jump to that yet I want to push

[13:24] myself a little bit I want to see if I'm

[13:25] capable and who knows maybe I will make

[13:29] maybe I'll be able to do it maybe I

[13:30] won't have to repeat this week but I

[13:31] feel like now things are really starting

[13:33] to kick into gear so I want to balance

[13:36] that like pushing myself proving to

[13:38] myself that I can do hard things and uh

[13:41] keeping this fun and doable and you know

[13:44] being kind to myself giving myself time

[13:47] so yeah that's where I'm at a month in

[13:50] going into week five we got this and a

[13:53] quick update just had to stop after last

[13:56] week for personal reasons I so

[13:58] appreciate her help and support getting

[14:00] started with this and I'm going to miss

[14:02] my training

[14:04] [Music]

[14:21] buddy all right I am about to do my

[14:25] first 20 minute run at least attempt it

[14:27] we'll see I have to walk I have to walk

[14:30] but my goal is to do a mile so at the

[14:33] current Pace that I've been run walking

[14:36] the intervals for the past few weeks

[14:38] that should be very doable so let's go

[14:40] run a mile

[14:46] maybe I'm 10 minutes in I just hit 1

[14:48] kilometer halfway through I think I

[14:51] might actually be able to do this it's

[14:53] almost kind of nice not having the

[14:55] intervals cuz I'm not like checking my

[14:56] watch for anything or thinking about

[14:58] what's next I just have to run 3 minutes

[15:02] left definitely feeling it very sweaty

[15:06] kind of want to walk but feel like at

[15:08] this point I'm committed in 3 minutes I

[15:10] can push I want to do it I want to

[15:11] complete it one more minute let's go I

[15:14] just ran for 20

[15:16] minutes wow the last few minutes was

[15:19] definitely a push but I got there I did

[15:22] it wow

[15:39] [Music]

[15:50] B

[16:10] all right week five was successful I

[16:13] completed all my runs I felt good in

[16:15] these intervals I did start my period

[16:18] this week which just kind of led to me

[16:20] feeling a little meh overall but didn't

[16:22] affect the runs too much uh we're also

[16:25] in like a major Heat Wave so it was a

[16:27] bit of a struggle just to make sure that

[16:29] I was getting out early enough cuz I've

[16:30] decided that I just don't want a

[16:33] treadmill run anymore like that is not

[16:35] for me so in the heat morning runs got

[16:38] to be pretty early in the morning but uh

[16:40] we got there and the week finished off

[16:43] with that 20 minute run and I really

[16:47] surprised myself I ran 20 minutes

[16:49] nonstop 2 km and it just feels so

[16:54] awesome to be hitting these goals and

[16:57] making progress and having such like a

[16:59] tangible exercise goal that is

[17:02] completely disconnected from my weight

[17:05] and my appearance cuz in the past I have

[17:07] gotten so hung up and like hyper fixated

[17:10] on that and it really ruled my life and

[17:13] dominated my relationship with exercise

[17:16] for so many years and this feels so

[17:19] different like it feels like a a

[17:21] celebration of what my body can do and

[17:23] just like I'm showing up for myself I'm

[17:25] enjoying it it it's motivating to have

[17:28] such a tangible goal and being able to

[17:30] measure that success in a way that is so

[17:33] completely disconnected from what my

[17:35] body looks like it's just what can my

[17:37] body do and that is that's like freeing

[17:41] for me so moving into week six I feel

[17:43] like I was in a really good head space

[17:45] really the hardest part this week was

[17:46] just actually finding time to run it was

[17:49] just a busy week with the kids there was

[17:51] a lot going on and then Steven had a big

[17:53] week at work so he wasn't as available

[17:55] to be with the kids so I could run I I'm

[17:57] thinking about getting a jogging

[17:59] stroller cuz then I could run with the

[18:01] kids I don't even have to set aside

[18:02] extra time but anyways I haven't missed

[18:04] a run yet but I came close this week I

[18:07] decided I didn't want to let that happen

[18:09] so uh one of the evenings when Stephen

[18:11] was working late I went over to my

[18:12] parents house we had dinner and then

[18:14] they watched the kids while I went

[18:15] running in their neighborhood which was

[18:18] such a throwback cuz I did one of my old

[18:20] running routes that I used to do when I

[18:22] was a teenager and I was conditioning

[18:24] for soccer um and that was very humbling

[18:26] let me tell you but it was kind of fun

[18:27] to do an evening run I I worried that I

[18:29] wouldn't have enough energy by the end

[18:31] of the day but honestly it had just been

[18:33] something that I had like been looking

[18:34] forward to all day and so I just gave it

[18:37] everything that was left in the tank and

[18:39] then this morning I did my last run of

[18:41] week six I ran for 25 minutes non-stop

[18:44] the last few minutes was hard but I did

[18:47] it and now I am officially done with

[18:50] interval training the next 3 weeks the

[18:52] runs increase from 25 minutes to 28 and

[18:55] then finally to 30 which one thing I am

[18:58] realizing is I am not going to be

[19:01] running 5 km when I finish couch to 5K

[19:05] this program is designed to be able to

[19:07] get you to run 30 minutes without

[19:09] stopping and I do believe that I'm going

[19:11] to get to that point now which is like

[19:14] kind of crazy and so cool but all the

[19:16] metrics for couch to 5K are time based

[19:20] not distance which is part of what makes

[19:22] this so accessible for any Fitness level

[19:24] but I as a slow Runner am not running at

[19:28] a pace where I am going to be doing 5 km

[19:31] in that 30 minutes my current run walk

[19:33] Pace has been about 10 minutes per

[19:35] kilometer which is very slow but it

[19:37] feels good for me for now I'm going to

[19:38] keep it that way just focus on

[19:41] continuing to run longer instead of

[19:43] faster take it run by run focus on my

[19:46] consistency and building stamina maybe

[19:48] more speed can come later but yeah I'm

[19:51] realizing at the end of this program I

[19:53] am still going to have a lot of work to

[19:55] do to get to actually running a 5k

[20:07] [Music]

[20:13] oh my gosh it's actually chilly out this

[20:16] morning there's like a crispness to the

[20:18] air this is so much more enjoyable

[20:24] [Music]

[20:38] he

[20:40] [Music]

[21:19] week eight let's go

[21:24] [Music]

[21:40] [Music]

[21:57] n

[21:58] [Music]

[22:13] week seven we increased to 25 minute

[22:16] runs I tried listening to audiobooks and

[22:19] YouTube videos instead of music because

[22:21] I was just finding it kind of hard

[22:23] mentally and that helped a lot in just

[22:25] passing the time faster so I've actually

[22:26] been rarely listening to music now when

[22:29] I'm running it's also finally starting

[22:31] to cool down and oh my gosh running when

[22:34] it's not blazing hot out is so much more

[22:37] enjoyable like when it's a little chilly

[22:39] in the morning and the air feels crisp

[22:41] it's it's a lot more refreshing I did

[22:43] have a big set back this week though I

[22:46] got Co I had done two of my runs for

[22:49] week seven um and then tested positive

[22:51] the next day all right I am past Co now

[22:55] I'm ready to get back into things but it

[22:56] has been a week since I last Ran So I

[23:01] have no idea what this is going to be

[23:03] like I've honestly been really nervous

[23:04] to get back out just because I feel like

[23:06] I lost the momentum that I had probably

[23:09] going to have to like go back a week

[23:11] maybe two but for this first run back I

[23:14] am just going to pick up where I left

[23:16] off I was supposed to do another 25

[23:19] minute run for my third run of week

[23:20] seven I'm going to run as much as I can

[23:22] I might need to walk a little bit in the

[23:24] middle to catch my breath but I'm going

[23:26] to give it my all I completed the 25 5

[23:28] minute run and I felt a big surge in my

[23:32] confidence comeback that like I really

[23:34] can do this so I repeated week seven

[23:37] that week three 25 minute runs and

[23:39] actually I ended up doing four because I

[23:41] wanted to make up that run that I had

[23:44] lost the week before and everything felt

[23:47] good my stamina felt strong so I was

[23:49] ready to move on to week eight stepping

[23:52] up to 28 minute runs my motivation went

[23:56] down a little bit this week I just like

[23:58] I wasn't looking forward to the runs I

[24:00] really had to like push myself to get

[24:02] out there um I also got my period this

[24:05] week so correlation probably but I

[24:08] completed all three of my 28 minute runs

[24:10] and that step up felt pretty mild so I

[24:13] moved into week nine my last week of the

[24:16] program I ran for 30 minutes what we've

[24:20] been building towards I just ran for 30

[24:22] minutes that's that's the last step of

[24:25] catch a 5k I'm not running a 5k I ran

[24:28] a little over 3 km but did it I got to

[24:32] 30 minutes I'm super proud of myself

[24:34] although my motivation still did feel a

[24:37] little low at times you think I'd be

[24:40] feeling motivated since I'm reaching the

[24:42] end but I literally did everything else

[24:44] I could think of today to put off

[24:46] running and now it's freaking hot and I

[24:48] have to run and it's hot but we're doing

[24:52] it but knowing my race was a few weeks

[24:54] away really kept me going and I just

[24:58] can't believe I did this like I'm really

[25:00] proud of myself I'm really surprised by

[25:03] my own capability like when I started

[25:05] this a few months ago and those 1 minute

[25:08] and 3 minute intervals were a push like

[25:10] I just wasn't really sure if this is

[25:12] something that I would be able to do but

[25:14] I'm here I am a couch to 5K graduate I

[25:18] have completed the 9we training program

[25:21] it took me 10 weeks 30 runs 11 hours 65

[25:26] km and now couch to 5K is complete

[25:29] although actually running 5 km is a

[25:33] different story my pace is still very

[25:35] slow I'm completing a little over 3 km

[25:38] in that 30 minutes so my plan is to keep

[25:41] running 3 days a week and keep

[25:44] increasing that time every week and

[25:47] building my stamina towards that 5 km

[25:49] Mark although the race is in 2 weeks so

[25:52] I won't be there by race day but my plan

[25:54] for the race is just to run as much as I

[25:57] can and there's no shame in Walking the

[25:59] rest my goal is just to finish or maybe

[26:03] finish in like under an hour would be

[26:04] nice but I'm excited to keep running I'm

[26:08] I surprise myself at how much I actually

[26:11] enjoy this I'm also going to start doing

[26:13] a longer walk after my runs that way I'm

[26:16] always getting to that 5 km distance

[26:18] even if it's not all running all right

[26:21] so 2 weeks until the 5K race we were

[26:23] signed up for I am going to keep going

[26:26] with my runs which means right now I'm

[26:29] filming this right before my run so see

[26:31] you all right the time has come the race

[26:34] is tomorrow I went and picked up my bib

[26:37] today I've kept up with my three runs a

[26:40] week leading up to the race and I made

[26:42] it through the entire couch to 5K

[26:45] program with no injuries no joint pain

[26:47] not even really any muscle soreness I

[26:50] think since it's just such like a a

[26:52] gradual workup my body responded really

[26:54] well to it and then last week my left

[26:58] hip flexor randomly started hurting

[27:00] during a run and it hasn't gone away it

[27:03] hasn't really gotten worse either but

[27:05] pretty much as soon as I start running

[27:07] like a couple minutes into the run I

[27:08] start feeling it and it's not it's not

[27:11] that bad but I'm kind of stressed about

[27:12] just injuring it more so I feel like

[27:14] that's held me back a little bit and

[27:16] also just added a little bit to my

[27:17] nerves for tomorrow but you know what I

[27:20] am mostly excited for tomorrow I'm

[27:22] feeling good about it I'm feeling I feel

[27:24] pretty ready I still haven't worked up

[27:26] to actually running the full 5 km in my

[27:29] runs but I got up to running for 37

[27:31] minutes I did just under 4 km in that

[27:34] time so I feel like either tomorrow I

[27:36] can take a little walking break at that

[27:37] point and then you know run the last bit

[27:41] or if I'm feeling good I might just push

[27:45] and see if I can run the full 5 km that

[27:47] would be freaking awesome that's like

[27:50] beyond my expectation for myself so if I

[27:52] can do that that'd be really cool but my

[27:54] main goal tomorrow is just to finish and

[27:57] to feel good in my body to feel

[27:58] accomplished at what I've done and to

[28:01] have fun cuz at the end of the day like

[28:03] that's what this is all about me just

[28:04] connecting with my body feeling good

[28:07] having fun getting some movement in and

[28:10] uh all of that is going to happen

[28:12] tomorrow 5K here we come

[28:30] okay we're lined up it's about to start

[28:33] I'm glad I brought my visor it's

[28:35] sunny listening to Hamilton the

[28:38] Pre-Workout is hitting I'm

[28:53] ready one mile

[29:02] two miles the last minute my brother

[29:04] decided to run this with me which has

[29:06] been super cool and just making the time

[29:08] go by faster having someone else out

[29:09] here he's training for a half marathon

[29:11] so this is a literal Walkin park for him

[29:13] but I feel like it's helping me to keep

[29:15] pushing I'm going to try and run this

[29:17] whole thing I think I can do it

[29:39] I did it from couch to 5K I really

[29:42] surprised myself I was able to run the

[29:44] whole thing without stopping and I feel

[29:46] really proud of myself I feel so

[29:49] accomplished and genuinely just

[29:51] surprised by my own capabilities which I

[29:53] feel like has been kind of the running

[29:55] theme through me doing couch to 5K

[29:57] proving to myself that I can and uh

[30:00] pushing myself connecting with my body 3

[30:02] months ago this seemed impossible but

[30:04] here I am I did it and if I can I think

[30:07] anyone can I'll put my final race time

[30:09] up here it was like 47 minutes and

[30:11] something my goal was under an hour and

[30:13] I made it so that is going to be it for

[30:16] this video thank you so much for

[30:17] watching be confident be kind to your

[30:19] body and I'll see you next time bye
