Yeah. For sure. I may have gotten excited there. Don't focus on the numbers so much. 1km is better than 0km.

Walking 5km is a pretty doable though.

I'm just so dang amped at people starting! WOOOOO!

When I started running I found this guide to be helpful and realistic for my starting point as a beginner: https://i.imgur.com/iWVU9vc.jpeg

Basically working your way up from "I can't run for longer than a minute" to "I can run 30 minutes nonstop".

If you're into zombies, this is a pretty fun version of this program: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/zombies-run-5k-training/id5665...

Couch to 5k? This absolutely worked for me as well. Don't try to do more than prescribed though, you need to have time to adapt to the stresses of running

None To Run is a gentler version of C25K that I enjoyed.[0] The plan is free, just scroll down a bit, but they also have an app.
