My 100 Day Fitness Challenge
From couch potato to running 5k in 100 days
About This Journey
I decided to transform my sedentary lifestyle after years of neglecting my health. This journey documents my 100-day challenge to go from barely being able to walk up a flight of stairs without getting winded to completing a 5K run. I'll be sharing my workout routines, nutrition changes, struggles, and victories along the way.

Journey Timeline
Final Day: 5K Run Completed!
April 25, 2023I did it! Completed my first 5K run in 32 minutes. When I started this journey, I couldn't run for more than 30 seconds without getting winded. Today, I ran 5 kilometers without stopping. The sense of accomplishment is indescribable.
Day 90: Pre-Race Nerves & Consistency Pays Off
April 15, 2023Only 10 days left! Did my longest run yet, 4K, as part of the training plan. Feeling nervous but also excited for the final 5K attempt. Consistency, even on days I didn't want to, has been key. Nutrition focus paying dividends.
Day 60: Feeling Stronger, Battling Weather
March 16, 2023Two months in! Definitely feeling stronger and fitter. Can comfortably run/walk 3K now. Had to push through some horrible weather this week, but didn't miss a workout. Mental toughness improving alongside physical.
Day 15: First Consistent Week & Soreness!
January 30, 2023Managed to stick to the plan for two full weeks! The initial soreness is real, but pushing through. Started incorporating basic strength exercises alongside the walk/jogs. Small steps, big commitment.
Day 1: The Beginning
January 15, 2023First day of my 100-day challenge. Could barely run for 30 seconds before needing to stop. Walked for 20 minutes and tried to jog for short bursts. It's humbling to see how out of shape I am, but I'm committed to changing that.
