Awesome Becki!!!!!!!! Once you can run a 5K at that speed, see how long you can hold 5.5 mph, then go from there. I hope you're proud of yourself : )

awesome thread.... i just started running myself.

it was the most frustrating thing for me.....ever. genuinely.

but i'm able to run for a bit longer now, and it's one of the most victorious feelings I've ever felt. i've actually reached a place where my legs give out before my lungs - NEVER thought that would happen.

thank you all for this thread - it's SUPER encouraging.

I'm also doing couch to 5k program, but I have a problem.. Sorry to kinda take over but it's important and I've unsuccessfully tried to start a new topic 3 times. I think my computer is messed up.. Anyway I'm 17 my fev1 is 17% and I'm on 4lpm oxygen. My sats are 95-99 while sitting still but I can't even walk to the fridge and back to my room without sats dropping to low 70's and heartrate 140+ so obviously exercise is almost impossible. Is there anyway to help this? Thanks.

I've been running for years...I started walking and became BORED outta my MIND! That's why I started running - it was more exciting. The easiest way to start is walk, jog, walk, jog! Go so slow at first that it seems pointless to actually run...then start jogging a bit in-between the boredom of walking. For me, at first it's always about distance - speed is pointless to concentrate on. Have fun with it...use an mp3, ipod, etc and listen to your favorite music...enjoy yourself! Passion, anger and excitement are fuel to run <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">!!! Play on that too! I've run all different places across the country (vacations, races-marathon, 1/2 marathon, 10miles, 10k's .....blah, blah, blah) - enjoy the scenery!!!! Have fun and feel great <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">. Message me anytime!!!! Hugs!\

Duke1234 - have you brought this up to your doctors? Most hospitals have pulmonary rehab programs that are made for that specific purpose - helping you to find the exercise you can do, even when you have almost zero exercise tolerance.
