Good luck - you won't regret it! Keep coming back here for inspiration and encouragement - I can't tell you how many times I've read on here 'if I can do it, anyone can!' And you know what? It really helps! I'm just coming to the end of W8 and I really can't believe I'm now a runner! Keep going! Xx

Hello Spanner67 many thanks for this I am sure this will be a mantra in many weeks to come !!! Best regards

I've just done the first two days of week one, and can't believe its real. Like everyone says, don't think too far ahead, don't stress about future weeks, just keep in mind you have only one session to do today (and then you can rest tomorrow!). Good luck.

[Hidden in reply to nrg_girl]

Well done Josie Jo....you've done a brilliant thing in joining! As everyone seems to say, the Couch 25K is hugely enjoyable and even addictive! I'm currently repeating a couple of Week 5 runs then onwards to Week 6 on Friday...

C25K has changed my life. I've lost a stone and half since joining in January. Along with watching calories. Well done for taking the first step. It's a great programme and you'll get loads of support on here.

[Hidden in reply to thinlizzyIwish123]

Thank you I have joined Myfitnesspal today and am amazed at how the calories add up !!! Will

[Hidden]

Good luck with C25k, it's made a huge difference to all aspects of my life, hope it works out well for you too.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Thank you I hope so too !!! Best regards

Welcome to the great world of running, and long may you enjoy it.

It will be a pit painful at times, but you will get there.

If you ever lack inspiration or are feeling down, watch 'Running for my existence' on Youtube.

Good luck!

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Will do maybe this will encourage me !!! Best regards

[Hidden]

Well done for making a start. Enjoy the programme. Best wishes.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Many thanks I am hoping too !!! Best regards

Thank you all again and good luck to every one else as well !!

[JHarveyL Graduate]

Welcome. So glad you enjoyed your first outing :). I finished the programme a couple of weeks ago and am amazed at what I achieved. At your stage I could not imagine running for 30mins in only 9 weeks, but it works and I'm loving it!

[Hidden in reply to JHarveyL]

Oh God that seems like an impossible achievement at the moment !!!!! Thanks for the inspiration !!!!

[JHarveyL Graduate in reply to Hidden]

That's what I thought but thanks to my wife (who did C25k before me) and this great forum I have got there! You can do it!

[Hidden]

I have to say I am feeling very positive thanks to all and everyone on here and I only joined yesterday !!! thank you
