New to running!

New to running!
Using the couch to 5k app. I’m using running to try and build my stamina up for Judo.

I’m doing ok with the programme but my Apple Watch Ultra is the thing I need tips with.

I tried a custom workout but it went out of synch with the app and pissed me off 😂

Now I’m thinking maybe try regular outdoor run and just use the side button to mark running and walking sections?

Any tips really appreciated!

Any good 5k to 10k apps?

Apologies if this has been covered on here before. I’ve just finished the UK NHS Couch to 5k app (thank you, Steve Cram) and am looking to progress to the next level.

Any good app recommendations? Thanks in advance!

Walking a 5k for the first time and extremely nervous 5 ft 200lbs

Hello I 27M will be walking a 5k for the very first time and I don’t know what to expect. I have health anxiety and I am already trying to overcome that while trying to go to the gym regularly. I guess I’m afraid over passing out or cardiac arrest ( I know it’s very dramatic lol). I try to average 10k steps but I don’t know what to do to mentally prepare for this. I guess I’m just wondering what an acceptable time is for walking a 5k while trying to manage my anxiety lol

Started my Couch to 5K!

As title says, I took my first steps a couple days ago. Starting with intermittent walking/jogging (1 min./30 seconds respectively).

Hoping to be able to run 5k by the start of next year, and hoping to lose some weight!

starting weight: 285

goal: 220 -230.

How do I improve my pace now? Or should I not think about it right now?
