Starting Over

A few years ago, this programme was a big motivator for me in losing weight and getting fitter. Fast forward four years, half the weight is back on and I can just about run a bath! So, today was my W1,D1 and how fantastic it felt to get through it. Looking forward now to the next nine weeks.

Hey! I’ve just started over today too (I have never done the programme fully before but I had heard about it, but I’ve been trying to do my own running progress).

I found it was so nice to have a voice there, telling you what to do.

Run 1 felt good :)

Fantastic. Well done!

Same here, fourth time on C25K! On the plus side, you've managed to keep half the weight you lost, off!

Me too. I was C25k graduate just over 2 years ago. Found a love for running and then life got in the way and well here I am... can't believe how quickly I lost it. Starting again and have just done W1R2 and feeing the mojo slowly coming back x
