This used to be me! For me it was a mindset thing, I’d really beat myself up about it.Anyone got an tips for me? Can barely run for more than a minute without getting out of breath. Tend to go on the treadmill due to uneven streets where I live and then end up hitting the slow down or pause button on the treadmill
I found the couch to 5k app helped me as you gradually build up the length of time you run for and alternate between running and walking for the first few weeks. I couldn’t even run for one minute at the start and never thought I would love running but I do now and can do 30 mins!Anyone got an tips for me?

Try slowing down your speed of running. In all likelihood you’re going way too fast for a beginner runner! I paid to do a couch to 5k - type running class, but in the real world, not with an app! My biggest learning was how incredibly slowly our tutor insisted we run. Little miniature poodles out for their Sunday Stroll with their elderly owners were all overtaking my running group. But truly, going slow is the only way!Anyone got an tips for me? Can barely run for more than a minute without getting out of breath.

This popped up on the app. I am very impressed - well done!I did my first 10km today 🥹 took me an hour n 15 and I didn’t walk once - mentally tough, physically fine
That’s great, well done!I did my first 10km today 🥹 took me an hour n 15 and I didn’t walk once - mentally tough, physically fine
I used the peloton app! It’s £12.99 a month and i started with walk run classes - can be done on any treadmill or outsideHow do you recommend starting? I tried couch to 5k but just couldn’t get on with it
Thank you!! I’m impressed tooThis popped up on the app. I am very impressed - well done!
100%!! I’ll admit I got a stitch here and there which was instantly something for my brain to be like “you can’t do this” but I just slowed my pace down and just kept going forward!That’s great, well done!
I found that once I could do about 15 mins without walking it was often a mental challenge to go further and not a physical one. Your body can do it you just have to convince your brain!
If you don't want to do couch to 5k, just do your own version! If you can do a minute, next time try for 1.5 minutes. If you always treadmill run, Zwift is quite good too, although you will need a 2nd device (like an old phone) to download an app to transmit your speed if you don't have a smart treadmill or a foot pod to begin with. I think there is a beginners running program on there too.Anyone got an tips for me? Can barely run for more than a minute without getting out of breath.

A few running clubs do a couch to 5k / newbie running if that would help you?How do you recommend starting? I tried couch to 5k but just couldn’t get on with it

The treadmill bores me. The only way I can run on it is I'm watching something on Disney Plus.I think I should buy treadmill - tried one time and it was surprisingly easier then running outside in forest... On treadmill i run my first 5km without walking.... Outside my maximum is until first uphill... wich is around 1.5km....
I used to be such a treadmill hoe because I did the peloton run classes so they’re super distractingThe treadmill bores me. The only way I can run on it is I'm watching something on Disney Plus.
