[Absolute beginner to 10K: Lessons learned and tips to share]

Over a year after the original post, I am sitting here on the couch after completing my first day, and reading through this thread is an absolute life saver. Thank you all for your tips and encouragement. Really looking forward to the day when running becomes less exhausting  

[What comes before Couch?]

So happy to hear about your progress, Drum Dave! I just downloaded this app and did my first Day today. I definitely had trouble with it, and had to skip one of the runs because I was so out of breath, but it’s so great to see what persistence allowed you to do! Really motivates me to keep at this.
