Your Couch-to-5K Training Plan
Going it alone can be tough, which is why running groups are more popular than ever. Even if you don’t want to join a group, at least find people who can support you and help you check in with yourself.
Heuisler, for instance, once recruited five friends, each of whom represented a word he wanted to apply to his marathon training, such as humility or consistency, and asked them to hold him accountable for those words. The end result? “I had five amazing coaches who were wishing the best for me,” he says.
