I Tried the Couch to 5K Running Program (full experience)

[@Kathrdda]

Sierra, thank you so much for this!! As a plus size girly, I thought running was not for me. But when you started C25K, it really motivated me to try. And guess what? I just ran my first 5k today, the same day you published this video!! Thank you again so much, and congratulation for your run!

[@abigail_blair]

Congratulations on your first 5K!!!

YAY! I have been waiting for this video! I started the couch to 5k because I heard you talk about and now I'm running my second 5k tomorrow!

[@SierraSchultzzie]

So proud of you!! And honored to be part of your journey.

[@designdoctor247]

eeeekkkkkk u got this....the hardest part is showing up....SHOW up and ride the energy of the group ❤

[@greenliter1]

@@SierraSchultzzie I have not finished the video yet (3.5 minutes in) but I absolutely LOVE your positivity, both of you! I decided to get into running when looking at the fact that it will optimize my fitness and weight loss long term, and then I had a dream that me and my best fur baby were running around playing in a park (he passed in June, 17 long wonderful years with my baby). When I woke up and realized he never got to do that with me, I said to myself “I’m going to learn how to run a 5k and I’m going to take a fur baby with me! So, now it’s personal.

[@elliebellierox18]

I love that you learned the lesson that everyone learns when they start running - the treadmill sucks!

[@improperrunner]

The treadmill does suck. I have done 8 half marathons and a marathon. I can run for miles outside. Indoors on a treadmill? Oh heck no

[@cassieorosz8528]

One tiny note that I have, that font that was used for the run interval times is a little difficult to read lol!! I couldn’t tell the difference between the 3 and the 5, but maybe I just need new glasses 😅😂

[@missmoviebuff19]

Nope look like a 3 to me as well lol

[@hitsugiluva]

Yeah I thought it was week 5 then jumped to week 4 I was so confused

[@nereamya]

It happened to me too!!

[@VirgoLunaKnight]

Same for me

[@adi_bd]

Same! I was like "you got a 50 minute interval in the program?" Had to really focus to make out if it was a 3 or a 5

[@DevHazy]

Thanks for saying how you “felt bad after” one time! As a crossfitter and Olympic weightlifter I have had those rare workouts where I don’t feel endorphins or joyful After! lol! It’s so weird but so important to acknowledge!! You are also such a wonderful inspiration!!!

[@jordanyoder9356]

I liked that too!! I also do CrossFit and oly, and every training session definitely does not feel amazing. But those tough training sessions are where the habit gets built!!

[@RubyGeeScuderia]

Yes omg! I used to get such huge mental benefits from fitness. Then didn't anymore and it really shook me!!

[@katelynrunsdisney]

I am so proud of you! Thank you for sharing a realistic and safe approach to starting a running journey. So often we see those online jump from nothing to running a half marathon without proper training/injury prevention which is so dangerous for others to emulate. I really appreciate you sharing the importance of building up to longer intervals safely!!!

[@emilyl8618]

I started couch to 5k because of you and it has been game changing to my mental and physical health. Thank you for inspiring!!! So excited for my 5k in February!

[@NJ20022]

These workout challenge videos of yours are definitely by far my favorite! It's just so motivating! Whenever I feel like I'm stuck, I usually watch your peleton video, so I'm glad to now have a new video to throw into the mix. It's just so refreshing to watch someone doing this whilst being kind to their body, yet you also make it look doable. I'd love many more of these videos!

[@mrbcallis]

Wow, Sierra, you absolutely smashed it! 🎉 Watching your journey and seeing my little app, Watch to 5K, be part of your training is an incredible feeling. Your video truly captures the highs and challenges of training for a 5K, and I’m thrilled the app helped you along the way! Huge congratulations on nailing your first 5K-wishing you all the best as you keep crushing those running goals! 🏆🏃‍♀

[@amyjoydiehl7917]

This is SUCH a beautiful way to approach movement. I recently started running again and was struggling to overcome the comparison of what I once accomplished to what I am capable of now. I loved your perspective. A celebration of what can be achieved and how it can aid our mental and physical well being. So proud of you ❤❤❤❤❤

[@victoriam650]

I’ve been waiting for this video!! Mostly so I could leave a long thank you comment. I’ve always hated running and I really got into working out this year, but never running. You inspired me to go on this journey with you, and I wanted to thank you. I’ve never felt so in tune with my body before I started this. My boyfriend is an avid runner, but he had never ran a proper race before so he joined me on the race. We chose a race that landed on our two year anniversary, and it was so much fun for both of us. I was immediately emotional at the start of the race because I was so damn proud of myself. We did it!!

[@beaslewee]

Couch to 5k is such great program! I consider myself a runner - typically running 4 to 5 days a week. But there have been many times when life was busy and I needed to ease back in and this program was SO great. It’s so incredible that you did this!

[@phillipaaldridge5048]

Good on you friend! Running for 47 minutes is a bloody big achievement regardless of the distance covered. That is massive mental and physical strength unlocked! You should find a local parkrun and get along to that to keep yourself motivated and find other people who can become running buddies. Running is the best and such an inclusive sport. You're a rockstar! ❤

[@improperrunner]

@@phillipaaldridge5048 definitely. parkrun is a massive good mood booster

[@alissakanturek744]

I second this! I’ve been doing parkrun for a little over a year now, and I starting out walking with my friends and the their dogs, and now I can run the whole thing every week without walking and I’m going towards the 30 minute mark. That community is really amazing and special and so encouraging!

[@suzannahstulberg-rudesill8337]

The font used to track the runs in the corner is a little confusing, the 3 and 5 look exactly the same.

[@lauraladyll]

I’m due with my first baby at the end of this year. This makes me hopeful about getting back into an exercise routine postpartum (with drs approval)! Also, shoutout to Jess for starting the program, even if she wasn’t able to finish it. She tried something new and that’s still worth celebrating

[@jasmynbarca7222]

It's amazing how strong your body can be and yet how much our emotions can make our workouts feel terrible. Just a part of life! It shows us how much human work we still have to confront outside of our physical struggles. SO glad you gave up the gym for running outside! Even if the run is bad, looking at trees, hearing birds, noticing the sky/ weather are consolation prizes that make it feel worth it!

[@alynicrespilho7934]

You got me crying when I watched the 5k vlog, and here I am again teary eyed at the end. Congratulations, you did amazing

When I was in highschool, I used to have to run 5k every week. Now my stamina is non-existent as I don't exercise as regular as I should. I'm so proud of you, Sierra. You've motivated me to start exercising more and not be a couch potato. Thanks so much! 😊

[@TheHahafunnyguy]

Thank you so much for making the distinction that this workout was about goals and not about how your body looked. That is something I get hung up on a lot and that message is so helpful!

[@carlym4572]

Great job!!! I did a couch25k plan 3 years ago after I had my daughter. I loved it so much I just kept running and I ran my first marathon this year🎉 A very slow marathon haha but I finished and I’m so happy I had that experience! The running community is so great and encouraging no matter what level you are at and that’s what I love the most about it ❤️

[@garancethekid]

This gave me joy in my heart. I’m also running post C-section, and while I was a somewhat regular runner before, it took a lot of learning to get back and accept the new body. I’m about to run my longest race ever in one month so thank you for adding a pep in my step! I strongly recommend joining a running club: you make friends and runs are more enjoyable chatting away. It’s been a tough week so thank you for bringing a bit of hope and light.

[@mathilde5643]

This makes me so happy!!! I also did the couch to 5k and it was life changing. I went from feeling as though I'd never be able to run for more than one minute straight to now, when I've completed 3 races including a half marathon! I'm working now towards my first full marathon, with last Sunday taking the form of a 9km run which felt alarmingly EASY. It's crazy how much you can build and how far you can get when you get in the right head space.

[@MariRueter]

You did great!!! I really don't like running on treadmills, it's probably been a few years since I've been on one. It's always way easier outside because the scenery changes and you can just really be alone with your thoughts. I'm glad you're enjoying the outside runs!

You really achieved two big things, completing the couch to 5k program, and then doing the 5k!!!! You are truly amazing Sierra!!!

[@glferrer]

Girl you just made me cry. About 14 years ago I did this and that was the start of a journey that eventually led me to triathlon after two years into running I decided to learn how to swim, yes, learn. I was not a big girl yet I was 42. At age 43 I did my very first mini sprint triathlon and that was the start. I just loved it and progressed through the years to a sprint distance, Olympic, half Ironman (doing half marathons and a marathons along the way) and loving every single goal reached and feeling the positive impact this made into other aspects of my life. A month ago I went after a 9 month hard preparation for the ultimate goal for a triathlete: my very first full IM, a 2.4 mi swim followed by 112 mi bike and a marathon. I failed. I could do the swim, the bike and after 14 km of the run I pulled off, couldn’t go any further, I was crushed mentally, up to this day can’t understand what happened, physically I could have walked / jogged but mentally I just couldn’t push myself anymore. You might be thinking: and what does this have to do with me?, seeing your video made me remember the joy I once had doing what you just did, like wowww 5’ non stop running was like conquering the Everest for me at the time, and it was great. Now even after 12 hours of non stop swimming biking and running I feel so depressed because I couldn’t get to the finish line, like somewhere sometime along the road I forgot how to enjoy what I once loved and don’t know anymore how to get that back. Congrats for your achievement and thank you for sharing.

[@mhowesmmh]

Long time watcher/never commenter. I've loved watching this journey for you! I started my running journey almost 3 years ago now, and just completed my first marathon a few weeks ago. There are definitely ups and downs on the journey, but I've loved seeing you take on new/longer distances and goals!!

[@silentmoon2671]

So proud of you Sierra!! I loved your energy throughout this entire video and your smile is so contagious!!!

[@morganveller2114]

This has really inspired to get back into running!! I played soccer and did cross country all throughout middle/high school and kept up with it occasionally in college, and then in my early 20s starting developing some joint/nerve pain out of nowhere when I ran and so I stopped. I’ve definitely put on weight since and every time I’ve tried to run I can physically feel how much harder it is so I get discouraged and quit. The mental toughness is what makes running the most difficult for me now. For the past few years I’ve mostly focused on strength training and low intensity steady state cardio, and lots of walking. I feel like I’m at a place where I want to make time for running again so I think I’m going to do this program!!! Congrats on all of your progress it was amazing and inspiring to watch!

[@margaretcathcart2953]

aw this made me cry at the end, how wholesome, congratulations 🤗

[@teruldacz]

You're amazing ❤. Congratulations. I recently went on my first ever 2,5km run event. But not for me but for my grandma who at 70 decided she wanted to run it. And I wanted to support her in this. So even though we mostly walked it, I was very proud of her and happy we got to experience it together. The training for it also taught me that I don't actually hate running. I just always hated running in school in pe classes because everyone was judging the performance. But when I ran for fun it actually was fun 😂

[@ChristinaTrevino-n1s]

I have never commented on a video before but this one was so inspiring for me. I've tried the couch to 5K before but always give up at the 20 minute week. You have motivated me to try it again! Thank you!!

[@jessicamichelle8622]

Ahhh I love this! Great job! This video made me feel so nostalgic because it reminded me of how I felt when I did my C25K program. Now I’m running half marathons! I hope you will continue on your running journey. It’s such a fulfilling hobby and joining groups and going to community runs are the best!! And I say that as a slower runner myself. Keep it up!

[@abigaildoyle7554]

Congratulations! 🎉 Amazing job staying so consistent. When you posted your video announcing you'd be starting the program on August 1st you inspired me to start, too. I've tried Couch25k multiple times over the past 10 years and never finished. I'd usually quit around week 4. You motivated me to try again. I finished the program and ran my first 5k this past weekend! I still can't run 5k straight at this point and I'm slow, but I'm proud of starting and seeing it through. Thanks for being an inspiration!

Amazing work! I loved this video so much! I used to be a half marathon runner but sustained some severe injuries and I also ran in an unhealthy way that is no longer sustainable for my health. But I’ve been working on healing and being kinder to myself these past 5 years and just achieved my goal of being able to walk a 5k so now I want to start the couch to 5k journey. I have to amp myself up not to overdo like I used to and seeing how you balanced challenging yourself with grace and kindness is such an inspiration. I will do the same. Thank you for your example. ❤

[@amandaodom5732]

So glad I watched this video! After a rough break up I impulsively signed up for a 5k run/walk, and because it took away the pressure of needing to run the whole time, it was the first time I ever enjoyed running in my life (I’m sure it being a pride event on a nice trail helped too ofc). Now 5 months later I’ve done another 5k run/walk, and I have a month to go before I run a 10k. I’ve been trailing off on training and losing motivation to keep going, and this really helped me reset and reminded me of all the reasons I enjoy this now. Thanks so much for posting!!

You can do anything you set your mind to, and I hope you keep running.

This is how I started, too! And then I just never stopped, despite the struggle it has been at times, especially at the beginning.

[@NaturallyNoelle_]

So happy to see this video! I shared with you in your DMs on insta (I suggested the broadcast channel!) that a 5k was on my vision board. I felt so inadequate and that inadequacy led me not to try. Untilllll you decided to do the couch 2 5k program! I am happy to report I can now go for 30 minutes NONSTOP and I am sooo proud of what my body can do. I need a lil more training to hit the 3.1 miles, but I think I may go ahead and sign up for a 5k to give myself that last push.

[@tmobz]

You really inspired me to try and do this as I’ve often THOUGHT about it. I hate running. I always have. I’ve sat back and thought about how at school we aren’t ’taught’ how to run, but you’d never throw a kid in a pool and expect them to swim (I can swim far far better than I run!) And so I started and today, I’ve just run for 28 minutes!! Can’t believe it. I still hate running, but I love how it is making me feel afterwards!

[@JordanHeil-jp9wu]

I feel like what's making this motivational for me is the fact that you aren't focusing on losing weight. I've struggled with being underweight my entire life basically and I'm now at the highest weight I've ever been. Most times when i see people talk about running, they're talking about losing weight and it makes me feel like running isn't something i can do unless i want to lose. I'm slowly working mentally towards working out. I have access to a gym at my job and my roommate also has a gym at his work that I'm allowed to use so trying to get to a point where im comfortable enough to use them.

[@funnybone1994]

So proud of you!! I ran my first 5k in June and it was such a confidence boost to what my body is capable of. I ran another in October with less preparation and had a blast. I never got to the point of running longer than 5 mins, so I just did intervals the whole time. If anyone thinks they can’t run a 5k if they walk most of it, please know you can!!! Most people do.

[@dayL660]

Before Covid I was able to run a half marathon since Covid I gained 50lbs and can’t run anymore I miss running but it’s hard with the weight gain watching you do this makes me believe I can try again

[@ellianacharice8880]

I was so excited for this video - so so fun to watch and follow along with your progress! How cool! One note is just that it was hard to read the timestamps in the corners, and for someone with low vision it would have been nice to have a bit of narration during the runs just so people know what’s happening in the clip for accessibility purposes. But overall just such a fun video!

[@thealiciah]

Watched this while running 🏃🏻‍♀️ Congrats Sierra! So glad you ended up loving running so much 💕

[@laurenbratland7620]

I started running for the first time at the beginning of this year and just ran my first half marathon last weekend! I definitely learned that so many things can influence your runs! How much sleep you get, what you ate for the meal before your run, the temperature, the humidity, how much sun there is, your personal stress level, etc. my worst run in training was my 6 mile taper 2 weeks before my half. I was bawling my eyes out at mile 2.5 because I really felt like I couldn't do it and I really felt like shit and my goal was way to fast and I wouldn't be able to reach it. When it came for my actual half marathon, I ran it 7 minutes faster than my goal which was crazy! All that to say, yes, some runs suck, but you can definitely do hard things!

[@nicolegregerson1235]
