Confessions of a (Reluctant) Runner: My Couch to 5K Comeback - Fuel Goods

Confessions of a (Reluctant) Runner: My Couch to 5K Comeback

It’s Laura, co-founder here at Fuel Goods, and I’ve got a little confession:

I haven’t REALLY run in over a decade.

My knee decided running wasn’t its thing, and honestly, I didn’t argue.

But this month, I’m ready to give it another shot.

It’s time to swap the bike shorts for some running shoes (pray for me) 🙏🏻

So, I’m inviting you to join me on a Couch to 5K journey, leading up to a Turkey Trot at the end of the month.

Courteney (my new coach lol) has built me a training plan...

It’s 3 runs a week, and just to keep things spicy, she added a little extra zip into weeks 2 and 3.

I’ll be out there huffing, puffing, and I want you to join me!

Whether you’re a total beginner or just need a nudge to smash out a three week training block, let’s do this together.

You can follow along the journey on our Instagram and (our new) TikTok to see all my frustrated outbursts and - let’s be honest - probably feel a little bit better about your own progress.

Let’s make this November one for the books (or at least for the blooper reel).

PPS - I made myself a Turkey Trot Survival Kit and I’m sharing the goods. It’s nearly $50 worth of essentials, but since I’d love some company on this little adventure, it’s yours for $35 with code TURKEYTROT. (just, uh, don’t tell Courteney 😉)
