How I finally finished Couch to 5K (third attempt)

Lay your clothes out the night before

Sign up for a local 5K before you feel ready

A date on the calendar did more than any app.

Run slower than feels reasonable

If I couldn't talk, I was going too fast. This was the whole secret.

Repeat a week if you need to

Week 5 took me three tries. Nobody's checking.

Get fitted for shoes at a running store

Rest days are part of the plan
