C25K works and most people are amazed that they actually enjoy the effort, however, while this forum can offer advice, support and encouragement you have to provide the motivation. Weight loss will not come significantly from running alone, but you can transform your health and life prospects by following this simple programme.

Give it a go. Post your progress here and we will cheer you to the finish line.

Download the podcasts, head outside and do your first run. It is as easy as that to get started. Post about your runs, we'll see you through.

You've come to the right place to improve your fitness, it should hopefully provide a knock on effect to improving your eating habits and to maybe giving up your smoking too. Welcome to our virtual family of Runners. Good luck completing the programme. Take it slow and steady, as IannodaTruffe says, post how you're doing and we can provide the motivation to keep you on track! Looking forward to seeing you graduate 🎓 when you've completed this programme.

Welcome to the forum. Have you tried the Allen Carr book - How to stop smoking the easy way? It worked for me about 4 years ago and i never looked back! Best of luck 🍀

Apart from the smoking, you describe me as I was this time last year. If I can do this program, so can you, and you'll feel ever so much better and happier this time next year, I promise.

Hang out here and we'll encourage you.
