Re-learning to run after 18 years.

[anilkumarr11]

Greetings, I am starting to run after around 18 years. I am currently 20-Kgs overweight. My biggest struggle has been trying to make a habit of regular exercise. I suppose, running is not the best form of exercise for me, considering my weight, but I have a dream of being able to run for at least 1 Km.

I am hoping Cto5K program will help me fulfill my dream. I love the music and how the trainer speaks to me. Almost like personalised coaching.

I completed 3 week1 runs, and the 1st run of week 2 in February. Unfortunately, I have had to take a break due to pain below the patella of the left knee. Orthopedic advised rest and medication. Today(13 March) I resumed back with week1 run.

Wish me luck...

Lots of luck with the programme - it is like having a personal trainer, and this forum really helps as well with advice and encouragement. Hope your knee is OK now, and happy running! xx
