Do it!! I have always hated running, always said I don't do it cos it's dangerous (tongue in cheek but was always my way of saying it's never gonna happen) but after being recommended to give it a go by a friend, I figured I'd bite the bullet and it's safe to say, I'm loving it!

I think, in all honesty, that it helps my 8 year old son comes with me and he's a great motivator (basically I just try and keep up with the little bundle of energy that he is), I like to think I'd enjoy it just as much if he didn't come too but regardless, the program is a really enjoyable and achievable entry into the world of running. Something I never thought I'd ever say, in a million years!

Take it slow, follow the app and you'll do great!

Good luck!

Aw love your advise

Im gonna take my 10 yr old with me

On our last run we passed a lady who commented how nice it was to see a youngster out and about in the fresh air and it made me feel good about it! In truth, my son is very fit and active thanks to football and swimming so I only really invited him along for some company and to get some mom and son time together but it's so good having him there. We have a laugh and his enthusiasm keeps my pumped so it's definitely beneficial. Whether he'll continue to enjoy it as the weather gets worse, we will see, but I hope do!

Hope your daughter enjoys it and can motivate you too

[Lizzie76 in reply to LolaMac81]

Yeah forsure

Ive asked her to come along...

Not to enthusiastic but im sure she will love it...we have a good relationship...😊😊

[LolaMac81 Graduate in reply to Lizzie76]

I'm sure she will once you're out there together.

[Lizzie76 in reply to LolaMac81]

I'll let you know tomorrow

Thanks for the support

I've enemies ordered some nice running 🏃 stuff nothing major just longer leggings to keep me warm

Hope all is well😄

The advice here is to take all the runs slow a steady, it is not a race, you have thoroughly thought about starting this and there is no going back, just enjoy all the 9 weeks. Read over some of the posts from people who have done this training course, they all agree that is was one of the best things they did in their lives. I remember reading one post from a girl about 18 years of age, she actually told us all that graduating on her final run of week 9 was a better feeling than graduating from her exams at school.

You have heard the corny advertising slogans about exercising........look better, feel better..........it is all true and C25K is just about the most foolproof way to become hooked.

Do check out the guide to the plan linked to by Oldfloss.

It can change your life, honestly.
