Just signed myself up for this, was talking to a friend at the weekend who runs 10k 3x per wk now and this is how she started. She really inspired me. First run will be tonight - wish me luck!!! Xxx

Hi there :-) you'll be fine; the biggest battle is getting out of the door in the first instance! Take things nice and steady, trust in Laura and you'll do brilliantly. Good luck for your first run tonight; let us know how it goes! :-)

Good luck. The program is great. It does push you but you will surprise yourself.

Hi welcome, you have come to the right place. This forum is so good for support and motivation. Stick with the programme, take things steady and have your rest days. There are so many positive benefits to be had. Enjoy and let us all know how you get on x

Well done for deciding to start the C25K programme. You will find plenty of support and encouragement here. Good luck with your first run this evening - it doesn't hurt if you stick to the programme, keep it nice and slow and steady and just try to enjoy. Put up a post letting us know of your successful first session. Best wishes.

Just do what Laura tells you. She will tell you all you need to know between now and week 9. She's good like that. A star is our Laura.

Good luck with your first run. Remember! Enjoy it. It's fun
