I am just going to post having graduated! Please read it. I am in my 40’s, morbidly obese, have sciatica, diabetes, high blood pressure. It’s all to do with your mind - just don’t let it tell you that you can’t! You are more likely to give up due to your brain than your body. Go for it! XXx

I was overweight, unfit, and 47 when I did c25k. I still am overweight and 47, and I finished my first 8k yesterday, looking at a 10k at the end of June. You've got this!

Good luck! I'm also in my 40s and trying to get fit following donating a kidney to my son nearly a year ago. This programme is great, l'm on week 4 and really enjoying it!

Starting is the hardest part. Don't try to do any more than Laura tells you and you will get there. I did - and I didn't start till I was 60. And I hated running or even the thought of it all my life before then... Go for it - and keep coming back here to tell us about it.

Not what you're looking for?
