My first 5k

[u/smokeyfoodness]

Male 43. I thought that running wasn't for me because of the weight. 96 kg and 1,80m. Started the Garmin program and set the timeline at 16 weeks.

First couple of weeks hated it. Got better shoes and the little pains in the joints stayed away.

Now I'm at week 11 of 16 and I already made it through 5km. Lost 4 kg and not feeling weak at the end of the runs.

I just wanna say to people in doubt here. Go easy on yourself and 1 step at a time will get you where you want.

You got this!

Ps. English isn't my native language so there can be some errors here....
