Hey Big Fella (from another Big Fella) - congrats on rocking week 1. This is exactly the right attitude to get through this program - congrats, before you know it you will be graduating a slightly less big fella ;-).

Well done you. Yes, first thing in the morning at the minute must be great. I'm the other end of the day just now, bit will switch to morning....when I tell my wife what I'm up to! She doesn't know I've started C25K, and would think I'm pushing myself too hard, as I swim and I'm watching my diet. But feeling good at the minute and felt ready to start running.

Big_fella 😂😂 how long do you think you'll be able to hide this from the wife?🙈

I'm laughing because I've not told the other half too. She runs half marathons a couple of times a week along with other runs. Until two weeks ago I'd never run but cycle 100+ miles per week (to lose 6 stone so I'm a big fella too!) and she keeps digging me up saying "aye but cycling is just easy all you do is sit there!"

I'd been contemplating starting running to lose the last stone and a half but that was just the final push I needed. Her and her sister organise quite a big 5 & 10k in August so I'm hoping to surprise both of them by entering last minute. 👍

Good luck with your C25K and even better luck keeping it quiet
