Doing my second round of Couch to 5K program. I completed the program last year and although I can run (if you call it running) at least 5K I'm very slow. I used to be a runner long ago in college when I lost a ton of weight but sedentary life got the best of me.
This redux round I'm hitting it at a faster pace. I must be doing it right as it's kicking my ass and I felt nauseous the first two weeks. Just did Week 3, Run 1 today and not nauseous but it's still kicking me.
If anyone else is considering doing C25K I say go for it. The first week or two are the toughest but it gets better and you're stronger than you think. If it's totally kicking your ass then you need to slow your pace a bit. The point is to be able to run 5K non-stop, you're not trying to set an Olympic record.
If anyone wants to know anything just ask.
