That is great Eric!

I have tried to run several times before and could never make any credible progress. I find the structure of C25K is absolutely great!

I started my C25K program two weeks ago. I must say I have thoroughly enjoyed running with the program for last two weeks.

Good luck with your first run tomorrow and do let us know how you go along

That's a massive, fast weight loss!

Make sure you have some energy in reserves x

This forum has been a great source of info' and support, I didn't find it until I had to repeat week 4.

Main word of advice- S L O W!! Go as slow as you need to finish all sections.

Good luck

One thing is for sure I will be slow, not run or done any exercise for years, real couch potato, but a little extra weight should help.

Good luck on your C25K journey Eric, you're going to love it! Congrats on impressive weight loss, you're making some fantadtic changes, no stopping you now!

[Celtprof Graduate]

Enjoy! Just think "slow".... You are playing the long game so at the moment your only goal is to get through the runs one at a time. You'll be great! It's very motivating to post after each run on here or ask for advice and encouragement. Keep us posted and good luck!

Welcome to the party !

I am now in Week 7 and I can vouch for the program... It has a terrific incremental structure which will get you to 5K.

Just keep following it everyweek and you will be just fine.
