Just found this group. Never been a fan of running but was inspired by watching a local 10k run to support a friend. Have just started c25k this week and have completed day 2. Surprisingly i have enjoyed it

Haha - we all get hooked in sooner or later.

Welcome to the forum and the programme. Take it nice and steady and you will be a runner before you know it!

Welcome to the madhouse (in the nicest possible way 😊). Follow the programme, take your rest days, stretch and post here for encouragement or just because you want to! You'll have a ball and hopefully find that running will change your life in so many ways you didn't think possible.

Well done you - I'm a relative newbie too - look forward to sharing the weeks together

I wasted 52 years of my life not being a fan of running......

53 years wasted here .. ... not sure I'm a fan of running I'm getting to be a fan of how it feels when I finish a run! Keep at the programme, it's really helpful.

Well done for getting started! The C25k programme really is amazing and completing it is one of the best decisions you'll ever make!

A lot of us weren't runners or even exercisers before the programme (I've been an exercise-phobe since school) but here we are, converts who love running!

Go slow, stretch, take your rest days, listen to Laura and soon you'll be running for 30 minutes - yes you will!

This forum is one of the best places on the internet. It's full of the most incredible, inspirational people you will ever meet! Post here for advice, encouragement and to let everyone celebrate your successes with you! We'll be with you every step of the way

Thank you. Had a rest day yesterday, doing day 3 week 1 at some point today. Probably when it is darkish as not ready to be seen in public running. Did the other 2 days on a treadmill in the gym at work. X
