HOW TO BECOME A RUNNER | COUCH TO 5K | FITNESS FRIDAY
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 чер 2024
- Welcome to fitness Friday! I did the couch to 5K program back in 2009 when I decided to transition from being a couch potato to a runner. It was a long process but somewhere along the way I became a runner and you can too!

I did this in 3 months when I was 48 years old. I started in August and couldn't even run 1/4 of a mile without gasping. On Thanksgiving Day that same year, my hubby and I ran the Human Race 5k in Utah. I certainly wasn't fast but I did it and finished. It seriously was one of the hardest things I've ever done but so worth it to accomplish that goal.
Watching this video thinking….is 44 to old to start 🤔🤔🤔 your comment gives me hope!
Awesome, thanks for the push
That's amazing. Well done you! I've been thinking of taking up running recently. This video, and you, have inspired me!
@@karenb9037 I started running/jogging at 46, now I can run up to 4 miles non-stop. Never to late. 🙂
I really needed this video. Feel like I’ve successfully organized my pantry, freezer is full of meals, but I HAVE to get moving! Thanks for adding the Friday fitness videos to your mix. 😊
I would love to run a race with you!! One thing I would add to your list is to hydrate hydrate hydrate!! It’s so important!!!
I will never forget the first time I went on my normal 4 mile run that was always very difficult and for some reason - that day - it wasn’t. I ran and ran. Never walked. I actually extended my run. I ran home and told my husband and I was in disbelief
✨👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
My first 5K I walked the whole way. I had lost 100lbs and still weighed 380lbs. It took me an hour an 40 minutes, but I did it and cried after because I did. Your video reminded me how proud I was and I need to begin again. No running anytime soon, but my first goal is lose the weight I regained during lock down and finish my next 5K with a better time.
My sister in law, Jennifer has been running for some time and up till the pandemic, volunteered for water stop duty for the Boston Marathon since the infamous 2013 marathon. She is partnered with a girl in the I Run for You program. The program pairs runners with people that can't run due to physical challenges. Jennifer surprised her partner a few years back by traveling to her state, renting a running wheel chair, and entered a race for them to run together for the first time. Her I Run For You partner inspires her to run. Jennifer also meets up with a local possy of girl friends most, if not every morning and are part of their specific I Run For You team.
I’m not a big commenter, but here’s the thing. Christine you have helped me so much. I admire you a whole lot. You’re hilarious, fun, supportive, and inspiring. I love to cook and clean and organize. Watching your videos is my favorite calm down relax thing. I have seen some of your videos at least 20 times 😳 but it’s too good not to repeat! I am NOT a runner. I used to be relatively active but have fallen off the train. You have inspired me to consider running. I think it would help me feel great and healthy to be in better shape. Thanks for all that you do! :)
Ps. I wasn’t excited about fitness Friday’s because I always felt they didn’t pertain well to me because I’m only doing low impact light short workouts two days a week. I’m not even close to anything you do. I would love if you could do more beginner or workout motivations.
I know of a great fitness program that is great for beginners too: Leslie Sansone's Walk at home cardio exercises. You can choose between different difficulty levels: ranging from 10 minutes/1 mile to 45-50 min 5K exercises. It's not just walking, there are exercises built into it, but they start very gradually and easy to follow. O have two kids, and I like that program because I can follow it even when my children are running and shouting around me, trying to distract me. In some longer exercises, there is some jogging and a little jumping, but in the majority, there is no jumping. Knees up and kick up exercises help to move the muscles in the abdomen too, do you can work on your middle part as well. Similarly, twisting one leg before/behind the other helps to work on your sides. I try to do as much knees ups and kicks as I can (kicks only if the children are in a safe place) , because I hate situps and these are a good alternative to have a firmer waist line.
The year of yes! When I divorced, I had this mantra. If someone asked me to do something, I said Yes! It ended up getting me out of my house and out of my post-divorce depression. At my brother's funeral, his friends spoke about him and all the ways he had changed and all the activities in which he was involved. His one friend once asked my brother about it and my brother mentioned the movie "Yes Man," about a man who had to say Yes to everything. Little did I know, we both had been living our lives on this same premise of saying Yes. More people should try it!!!
I just started the couch to 5K a month ago! I'm around 200 pounds and I love it! I love running so much
Great job!
Well, you are an inspiration, I’ll tell you that! I’m 63, overweight and desperately want to be stronger, slimmer and healthy. I’ve been through a very rough few years of grief and depression and it’s time to start living again. I have faithfully watched all of your videos and honestly, you’ve roped me out of the darkness more than once. So….I’m looking up “couch to 5k” and resuming my yoga practice. I’m going to Europe with my sister in 3 months and I need to get STRONG!!
Thanks so much for being such a good example in so many areas. You help lots of people Christine!! Don’t ever doubt that you were born to shine!!💫
Thank you so much!
I definitely would like a video about form when running. These exercise Friday videos are great and really helpful.
I have been enjoying them too, so I hope that Christine will continue posting them .
Me too!
As a DD sized person, I can attest to the effectiveness of the Shefit bras. I love how adjustable they are. 😀
Love this! I was a couch potato until I was 39 and then a became a runner! Someone told me the secret to running early on and it helped me a TON. This is it - "Running is hard and it doesn't get easier." Everyone from beginner runners running 17 minute miles to Olympic runners running 4 minute miles are in pain and out of breath when running. You are not doing it wrong! What happens after a while is that you can run further and/or go faster when you run but it will ALWAYS be hard. Embrace it and think about how good you will feel when you are done. It's the best!
Running never is and never will be my thing. I'd love something discussing other options to try if you aren't comfortable going to a gym at this point.
Love, love, love your family. Have to love your family. From dad, to mom, to kids. Everyone is loving and pulling for one another. How blessed!!
Now that was inspiring. Thank you for sharing that it really is hard to start, but completely possible. I am 26 and currently 20 weeks pregnant with my third. I have wanted to start running for years and always put it off. Last year I dealt with a lot of foot pain (possibly planter facetious however you spell it) and I couldn't even maintain my 5km walks. My goal and hope after this baby is to become a runner. I love being outside and being active and since having kids my activity level has gone down quite a lot.
I need to get back into running. Used to do 5K daily... then a few pregnancies and some stressful life experiences later... I got in my own way.
Then the last 2.5 years of chronic joint pain and weight gain made it impossible to get back into it. I’m starting to lose weight and reduce inflammation and am finally able to walk longer distances again. I will get back to running! I’ve done it before and I can do it again! Thank you for the tips and motivation 🥰 you are my favourite person to follow.
Needed this! I'm fat and middle aged. Knowing that it wasn't always easy for you certainly helps. Thanks for the info on shoes too. I'm up for your upcoming sports channel!
This video came at the perfect time for me ☺️ I started running a month ago with run/walk intervals on the treadmill at the gym. I am so motivated by music so I would walk a song, run a song, walk, run, etc until I hit 30 minutes. I started increasing it to one and a half songs running, one song walking. Fast forward to a month later and I ran my very first complete mile last week. I NEVER thought I would ever run a mile. EVER. I’m currently working towards 1.5 miles and then eventually would love to get to 3 in the next couple of months. Thanks for the awesome videos!
The first time I ran for 30 minutes straight, I couldn’t believe it! I was so proud of myself
There’s just something about that progress that is so helpful to your mental❤️
Loving fitness fridays! Your obvious love for fitness is so inspiring. The moment in the video that really struck me was your description of how you felt the first time. The “bricks” for feet. I feel that when I attempt running and have always assumed it was my weight. But then see women my size running and I wonder how they are doing it. It’s now clicked it’s not my weight….I have to keep going and train!
It’s true! Your ankles will work up to it and become stronger. You will be so happy when you start running for 3 minutes
I was so excited when it happened to me!
@@MadisonFalco Thank you for the encouragement! I can imagine I will be emotional. A “life” goal is to just run one mile straight. Never…even as a kid…have I been able to do that. It’s never too late right?!
You can do it!!
@@daniellegratton8049 that is right! I was never a runner until my 20s
It took some time but I got there :)
@@daniellegratton8049 I started running at 46, now I can do up to 4 miles.. I just started to ignored that little voice in my head that tells me I am too tired and I can't do it..
You should make a video for how to workout from home, when you don’t have any fitness equipment, be creative, show us ways to stay fit even if we don’t have much equipment.
Thank you for this! I have never been a runner. My husband was a track and cross country star in highschool and when we went to college together I tried running with him. I was practically on the ground passed out and he hadn’t even broken a sweat so I said nevermind! Fast forward over 20 years later and April 2020 comes around and sitting around all day in quarantine is not gonna work for me. I did not want to gain weight, so something came over me and I decided to start running. We had an old treadmill on the back porch and I started out run/walking 3 miles at about 15 min mile pace. I decided I was going to run every single day and see if I could keep it up. I ended up running every day for a year! The treadmill broke and I transitioned to the street (I live in CA so I’m able to run outside year round) and I don’t think I’ll ever go back to a treadmill. My 365th run was 7.5 miles at 8:53 pace! Now it’s almost another year later and my fastest 5k is 8:08 pace and I still run pretty much everyday. I’m 43 years old! I was 41 (almost 42) when I started running. I had no idea until I looked in my app a few weeks ago, but I ran 1,021 miles in 2021! So crazy. If I can become a runner, anyone can! I heard you talk about your friend #nobodycaresworkharder and I tell myself that when I want to quit or let up. It works! I also inspired my husband to get back into running daily. He’s continued to be a runner our entire marriage and has run multiple marathons but had not run in quite a few months when I started. Now he’s coaching cross country and track at our kids’ school and our kids have become runners too (a little against their will, ha ha, because our 14 year old son is a baseball player and our 16 year old daughter is a ballerina). Our almost 12 year old son is super excited Dad is coaching middle school track. He’s all about it! So I guess we have become a family of runners!
Wow that's so inspiring. I have been running up to 4 miles but my speed is slow about 14 minutes the mile. I am trying to improve... Great job!!
@@leslieroman5664 Thank you! Keep it up!
I am not a runner, but your fitness videos inspire me to get MOVING! I'm motivated to self-care...work on being healthier. Thank you for sharing how you started, and how you keep striving!
“Don’t be your worst enemy” ugh you’re the best
Wow, this was so good to watch. My husband says "I bet if you tried in high school you would have been good at a lot of sports" because it's true, I couldn't be bothered, I was a grunge kid who listened to Nirvana and watched my guy friends skateboard on lunch break. ha! But when I exercise, I can feel it within me, that there are muscles under the unwanted weight gain, and I can feel my body wanting to do more... maybe like running. I can do five minutes on the treadmill, which I didn't think was much, but maybe it's something, so thanks for the motivating words and knowing that someone as fit as you feels like someone like me in that there are days you just can't be bothered, but you make it happen, and I want to be like you! ;)
YES!!!!! I have tried so many times to become a runner. Hate it, LOATHE IT! But want to be one. Now I know I just have to keep going. Thanks Christine, going to try out the couch to 5K when I start getting 30 above weather consistently.
So encouraging!! Thank you! My husband is an avid runner. I have just told myself that I hate running and I can’t do it, but I’d really love to give my husband the gift of a running partner. This was so helpful!
I find myself, for possibly the first time in two years of watching your videos, completely agreeing with you today. Completely! I remember my first interval of the C25K program. “Gasp, wheeze!” and so sore! But I stuck to it and found a new sport I enjoy. The running community, I have found, is incredibly supportive of new “runners”. I don’t feel like I’m a runner most days, but I have the bibs, medals , and t-shirts that remind me I am. 💪🏻
I will be 57 tomorrow & have rules about running: 1)someone’s life had better be in danger, 2)If you see me running, see #1. So although I choose to NOT be a runner, I am more than highly inspired by you to resume working out. I. Hate. Working. Out. But I need to do it. Thank you for making me think I can.
Try out Leslie Sansone's Walk at home cardio exercises! I don't like working out either, and that is the first fitness program that I actually like and can stick to it! It's adjustable from 10 min/1 mile to almost hour long/5K exercises, and it's not just walking, there are exercises built into it but they are easy to follow. A 5K workout may contain some jumping or jogging exercises, but there are workouts without jumping too. 10-20 min workouts are great for beginners too.
@@june.w.1288 Wow thank you for this info! I will give it a try!
You're genuinely inspirational, watching you actually motivated me to join the gym a few weeks ago and I love how I feel in myself every time I go.
I walk with a cane due to MS so I will never be running marathons or probably even running outdoors, but I'm going to be brave and (very carefully!) attempt the treadmill at the gym this weekend
All good encouragement. I did a free plan years ago. Also participated in a Danskin Sprint triathlon.
My Rheumatoid Arthritis went into remission last March. I sat there and looked at treadmills for months before I told my husband (who instantly bought the treadmill because treadmills are cheaper than medical bills). I got on for the first time and said, wait, I can do this! So I’ve jumped in head first and I’m training for a marathon:) because why the hell not?!
Thanks for sharing and being an inspiration!
I was never an athlete, but after losing 25 pounds on weight watchers at the age of 45, I needed a new goal. That goal was my first 5k. I too used the couch to 5k program. I walked a good bit of my first race, but I was totally hooked on the energy of race day. The smartest thing I did was join a run club. I thought I’d be the slowest and that others in the club would look down on me, but it wasn’t like that at all. Completely the opposite. Everyone is so supportive and there are runners at every level in the club. “Running brought me to life,” so I had those words tattooed on my leg and now I’ve run two marathons, dozens of half marathons and countless shorter races and it all started in midlife with one 5k ❤️ 🏃🏼♀️
Avid runner here 👋🏼 Currently training for another half and (hopefully) new PR 🏃🏽♀️
I’m loving the Fitness Fridays! Keep’em coming!
Loving fitness Friday. Real talk on bras is SO helpful because they are SO expensive. Beautiful shots too. Thanks!
You're so welcome!
YES!! Runners highAND it can also be a “Dancers High!”
Selfishly , I want them all! Thank
Well thanks a lot Christine. My husband and I did couch to 5k last year but we stopped when the weather turned cold. We've been talking about getting a treadmill so we didn't have an excuse. So now I guess we gotta do it. Dang you Christine!! This was just the motivation I needed. 🥰🥰
OMG! I can't believe it's you Christine!!! Congrats on your success here on you tube. You're awesome. I remember seeing your posts about running, these pics took me back :-) I did this program because of your blog posts about it! Changed my life and still do fitness today. Thank you!
That was the pep talk I needed for just life in general. Thank you
Oh how I used to love to run, had kids and stopped. 😞 Now doing rebounder for indoorance. Thanks needed this, I hope to get back to it this spring, if my hip let's me.
Thank you for this. Not really the whole running part, but the motivation. I cannot run due to a medical condition that causes my heart to race. I cannot do cardio. I can do other things however. I am working on myself now - not a New Year's resolution, but a promise to myself.
Thank you so much for your inspirational videos. Love Cindy, from Nova Scotia, Canada
Watching your older fitness videos for some inspiration! Miss these Fitness Fridays! Thank you for your content. It's been awesome watching your channel grow from 20,000 to almost half a million.
Also, I just want to tell you, that I love your personality… of course I don’t know you in “real life”, but you come across as such an easygoing, relatable woman that I want to be friends with! You seem very genuine… okay, that is all ☺️
I ran cross country in high school. I wasn’t good but I always showed up. Now at 41 I do Orange Theory. Yesterday was the 1 mile bench mark and for the first time I ran a full mile no stopping.
That’s for the encouragement … I’m not much a runner, but do enjoy walking … thanks 😊
Very inspiring. As a runner, who st one time was NOT, I relate. I love your phrase, “the year of yes”. My new motto as I move forward.
Thank you for including some of us that aren't seasoned exercise pros.
I've been watching your videos for a while and have enjoyed the week of meals on a budget. But this one just made me excited! I started running back in September with the hopes to drop some weight and improve my health. Last April, I could barely do a mile. I didn't like the Couch to 5k...I couldn't even run for those durations (I later ended up getting an inhaler to deal with some undiagnosed asthma). In September and October I ran 2 different 5Ks and dropped 15 pounds by November. I gained half of that back over the holidays. At the beginning of January, I joined a gym so I could have access to a treadmill. I'm looking forward to my next race in March! And I can't wait to get back outside to train (I refuse to run in anything less than 40 degrees...and today's high where I live in Ohio was like 10 degrees). Thanks for the inspiration and tips!
I signed up for a 5k with a friend on dialysis who liked challenges. Didn't mind when the rollerbladers passed us quickly or when the obviously fit runners sailed on by. No, what hurt was seeing moms and dads push strollers ahead, then the seniors with canes. Not walking sticks, but regular canes! Still, we finished. I was so proud of being a participant.
I love this. I have been in a weird funk lately when it comes to fitness, and I've always hated running... but this makes me feel like maybe I can get over this rut and get back to fitness. It's even convinced me that maybe I could do a 5k this summer. I'm so happy that you've decided to do fitness Fridays.
Great video! I was a late runner as well. I always thought I had athsma and couldn't run, nope, I was just out of shape. I did the couch to 5k when I was 28 or so and went on to train for triathlons and did 3. The last one when my son was 2 and I was 37. Now I walk on the treadmill or outside and do my spin bike. It's a lot nicer on the knees. 💪
love that you are doing these videos
Really loving your fitness Friday videos!!
Love this. What I needed to hear today. Love your fitness Friday's! Keep up the great content.
Thank you! Im just finished university where i was in varsity soccer, and i always hated running... You speaking about it and your journey makes me more comfortable 🙏
Love these Friday video - yay so excited!!
Christine! You have inspired me! (I've said this part before) I bought a really nice bike at the beginning of last spring and made a goal to ride my bike all the way to work by the end of the summer. I accomplished that goal in July. It was 3 miles but it was up a considerable hill and it was 90° out (wouldn't recommend the heat of the day that was stupid of me) anyways I also lost almost 50lbs. I did fall off the wagon and gain a little back but I am back to working out 3 days a week at the gym and watching my calorie intake and punching down the water! Anyways this is all to say that you inspired me almost a year ago and everytime I watch your videos to keep going. I've got over 100lbs to go and I am looking forward to my new me! Thank you for being you!
I really love these Fitness Friday videos!! I hope you keep making them ☺️
love your videos ! thanks for doing them.
I'm loving your Fit Friday videos. Thank you for keeping it real.
Foo fighters- “pretender” and “best of you” are my favorites.
Love this!!! You are so encouraging and uplifting!!
I’m absolutely loving Fitness Friday!
Love these fitness videos!
This video is perfect right now. I'm starting a weight loss/ health journey (that includes a pretty significant surgery), and I'm ready to start moving. My kids are so active, and I have to keep up!
Love fitness Fridays!!! Can’t wait to see more fitness videos!!
Big fan of fitness Fridays!
Really needed this today. I’ve been in fitness forever but sidelined to have babies and ya know..life. Been trying to return for 10 years. 2 knee surgeries later, I finally felt great and boom, 1 workout and knee sideline. Heavy sigh… took away from this…patience. Patience and consistency. Thanks for being you and sharing what you know.
Really enjoyed this!!
As the person who has come in last for a super sprint triathlon, I’ve got to tell you it isn’t that bad. You get all the extra motivation from the volunteers (especially on the run) and you get the satisfaction of finishing (instead of having to get rescued on the swim!)
Thank you!! Please keep doing Fitness Friday.
I absolutely LOVE your content. This was so motivating. Thank you!!!
Thanks Christine!! This was very helpful!
I feel so inspired to give this a try I’ve always wanted to be a runner. Thanks for the honest tips.
Love fitness Friday!!! Can't wait to see more!! Brooks Ghost are the shoe for me!!! Been wearing them now for over 10 years and love every time I get a new pair. I second the advice on going into a running store to get fitted correctly.
Thank you for this video! I needed to here that I can do it! This came at a perfect time.
Thank you for this video!!!! I needed this encouragement!!! 🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️
Yes to Relient K!! I ♥️ them!! I’ve done a half marathon before, then stopped running completely. I’m now 40 lbs lighter (and 7 years older 🤪) than I was when I did that, so I may start it again.
Truly loved this video. Very intelligent and encouraging. Thank you for sharing !!!
Lots of great advice! I've been running half and full marathons for almost 25 years now. When I first started, I was shocked that I could barely run a 1/4 mile. I thought I could just lace up my shoes and run far and fast. It can be discouraging but it takes time, practice, and technique. And for me, its always evolving. I broke my nose several years ago and had to learn a different way to breathe. As I've gotten older, I've had to adjust for knee and foot pain. I've also had to come to terms with the fact that I'm not as fast as I used to be and that it takes more training to get the same results now. But in the end, I'm just happy I'm still moving.
I sooo needed this today. I've been following you for years now. I love seeing all of you videos and Instagram photos. My husband and I have started riding bikes and running more. I trained and finished my 1st half marathon because of watching you. Thank you so much.
This was really great! Also I appreciate you telling us where you were. That was helpful too.
I really love your Fitness Friday videos. I have been trying (really a lie...I've been thinking) to get going again after 2020 and then spending 2021 sick. I remember getting going before, and I remember the path wasn't easy. I know it's mental. Your videos are helpful, even if I don't need a sports bra.
Thank you so, so, so much for this. You have no idea how much I needed EXACTLY this video at EXACTLY this morning.
Thank you, like many commenters I really appreciated this video and feel like I needed it! I got into running a few years ago and reached the runner's high level and LOVED it .. now after two babies and a couple years of pandemic I want to get back into it so much. Was worried it'll be tough getting back into it but this is a good reminder that it will get better!!!
Thanks for this encouraging video!
You're amazing Christine
I’m literally watching this as I am on the treadmill thank you so much for the inspiration!!!
Love running videos! Also, you have great taste in music 🥰
I'm taking this video as a sign to keep going with my running endeavors! I started the Couch to 5K program on Monday to get my ankle moving again after a bad break. I was a runner many years ago, but haven't run much in the last few years. Hopefully I'll be back to being a runner soon!
I am loving these Friday videos! They help me stay motivated to try :)
Glad you like them!
VERY much love this!
This is inspiring. I need to get off the couch! Thanks.
I ADORE this video! Would love to hear a video on your race experiences of your favorite/worst races! And would love your gear choices for those of us that are more advanced in the running world!
Great and inspiring video! I became a runner years ago and a knee injury sidelined me, I gained back all the weight I had lost and here I am, starting with walking again with the goal to start running again (need to get my weight down a bit first). For Christine's Canadian viewers, we have the couch to 5k, None to Run is another good one and the Running Room has a great Walk to Run program (in person and online) that do exactly what Christine outlined here. Additionally, there's a group run once per week with an optional second run, you are expected to do 2-3 more runs on your own each week and each week they have specialists discuss a different topic each week like running shoes, sports bras, nutrition info etc. This was the program I did and will do again to ease myself back in. I was shocked that I was not dead last and that boosted my confidence. This was a really great video with terrific advice and encouragement. Thanks so much!
Love Fitness Friday!! Thanks for sharing your experiences!!
Thanks for watching!
Couch to 5K was the best for me! My goal was to run the 5K with out walking and I did it! Set achievable goals for yourself and continue to push yourself and you will make progress! Consistency is also key!
You were already my favorite but after seeing The Interrupters on your play list it basically confirmed it.
