Run day

My start date is 6/3/2017- 8/5/2017 this is due to wanting to fit into my jeans ready for a concert i am attending 9/5/2017

Don't put it off. Make it a date and stick to it 🙂

Good luck. Combine the sessions with healthy eating and the weight will shift. Keep moving ! Moving more generally will help the process 🙂

It is always good to have a goal. Get cracking on it, no time like the present. It is so easy to keep putting things off. It took me ages to finally get started on C25K

Hi and welcome.. well.. no pressure there, then

Go for it.. slow and steady does it.., take your rest days, follow the programme carefully and listen to your body! It knows what is best

Slim, trim, lean and keen.. that will be you! Don't, as misswobble and boptillyoudrop49 say, put it off..

"Do it now.. sometime, later, becomes never.."

and you have your now date already.. we will await your first post

PS

I just got my first pair of NYDJs Size 10 ( they were in the sale though!!!) I was a size 14

i need to save for new trainers 1st before I do this which i am doing an online snoop now lol. I will have em ready

[JaySeeSkinny Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Some people started this in walking boots or normal trainers. Not really to be recommended, but better than putting things off. I've run in hiking boots as well - does make you appreciate running shoes though!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to JaySeeSkinny]

Now I have this great image of you..

[JaySeeSkinny Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

After my last lurgy, I had to sneak out telling my husband I was going for a walk as he thought I wasn't ready to run. I did go for a walk but I snuck in 4 mini-runs of 1 k as well. And I was ready to run (albeit slowly!)

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to JaySeeSkinny]

Tee hee.. clever!!! They love us so much x

[JaySeeSkinny Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Didn't tell him later either, but came back with a big smile on my face😎

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Plenty of great deals out there...

[GoogleMe Graduate in reply to Hidden]

As JaySeeSkinny says, don't wait, get out there now in almost (we had a chap try the first run in dress shoes, he managed it but...) whatever you have (I started in walking boots... and actually they were better than the first properly fitted and expensive running shoes I got!) You'll start to find out where you like running and something about your running style... and promising yourself new shoes is a great incentive.

[Bigfatsal Graduate in reply to Hidden]

I bought some super cheap trail running shoes from Decathlon, they are fab, I am sure I will want a better pair one day but they are doing me fine for now!

[boptillyoudrop49 Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Great weight loss flossy!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to boptillyoudrop49]

I feel so much better, in every way, trimmer, leaner and sort of tighter... a combination of the great exercise and really tweaking the healthy eating regime.

[boptillyoudrop49 Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Good for you 😀 What have you been doing differently food wise?

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to boptillyoudrop49]

After France 2015.... seven weeks of too much hedonistic pleasure.. started C25K.. yeay!

Then upped the Med diet eating regime, which we have had for years.. and then started on Michael Mosley's 8 week Blood Sugar diet.. ( Mr Oldfloss is type 2 diabetic., genes not lifestyle, so sugar ditched years ago..) except, we don't fast, ( his meds make that tricky) and our calorie intake is higher than in the book.

But..we did that, and have kept up a lot of the habits gained through that.. mainly low carb..Plus running!!!!

Just got his wife's book of recipes too.. they are delicious!

Bet you wish you hadn't asked now

[boptillyoudrop49 Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

No I'm impressed 😀

[Dhiny in reply to Oldfloss]

I am going to have a look at that Oldfloss...sounds interesting.

[JaySeeSkinny Graduate]

Why wait till 6.03.17? That's over a week away. Start tomorrow and then you have a week in hand in case lurgies (colds), soreness (sore muscles, general aches and pains), tiredness and general life get in the way.

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to JaySeeSkinny]

Good plan JaySeeSkinny xxx

[IgaT Graduate in reply to JaySeeSkinny]

I was thinking exact the same thing . Hidden

[IgaT Graduate in reply to IgaT]

Oops I pushed the reply button too early

Hidden go out today! Don't wait! Start running with whatever shoes you feel most comfortable. Your new running shoes will be reward for completing week 1

I started running in my hiking shoes. Now I appreciate my running shoes

[Hidden in reply to IgaT]

need to buy em 1st when i get money

[Hidden in reply to JaySeeSkinny]

Gives me time to get new trainers as mine are on last threads

[misswobble Graduate]

you can get away with any trainers to start with as you only walk with a few tiny jogs in between.

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

PS

Sorry for hijacking your post with eating talk !

[ANewMe2022 Graduate]

Ooooh, who are you going to see? I love gigs - going to see Take That at Metro Arena on 8th May and can't wait...xx

[Hidden in reply to ANewMe2022]

I am going to Take That on 9th lol

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Plenty exercise dancing like a kid to there songs haha

[misswobble Graduate]

I saw a live band last night ☺ Danced round my handbag 😊

[ancientrunner Graduate]

Have to agree with - start now, in whatever you've got. Life gets in the way. Good luck.

[Worldsend Graduate]

Why not start now in case you want to repeat any runs?

Good luck

[Hidden]

If I can get the new trainers quicker i will start week early but doubt i will
