    8 weeks ago I couldn't run for more than 30 seconds without getting out of breath.

    Now I'm able to run 5Kms 3 times a week and actually enjoy it.

    I used the Couch to 5K Podcast (put it into Google and you'll find it) and it gradually trains you up over 8 weeks to get to enjoy running.

    So my reason for this post is to show that, if you're thinking of taking up running or just have, keep with it - you'll feel great and end up really enjoying it. I was the typical couch potato - trust me If I can do it anyone can!

    Running my first ever 5K Race this weekend in Dublin and can't wait!!

    Good stuff yyarg1974,

    I'm the same.. I started with a fit4life meet'n'train group and have gone from zero to contemplating my first 5k this weekend. Im not sure that I could run it all just yet but I'm flabbergasted that I'm even thinking about it so soon!

    Good luck!
