Just joined 5k. Hopefully one day I'll make the 10k journey

Good luck, it's an ace place to make you feel better in yourself. Don't rush it, slow and steady all the way.

I've just got to week 7, and loving it.

Good luck on your journey

Welcome. You can do this. Slow and steady is the key, pace isn’t relevant, build endurance first. 10k isn’t that much extra work after this plan either. Enjoy the journey

Welcome Eddie. I’m also overweight and this is a great place to build your fitness and self esteem. Just bear in mind that you’ll be turning fat into muscle and muscle is heavier than fat, so the scales may not excite you at first ! The upside is that muscle burns calories more efficiently than fat, so it’ll all come right in the end. Enjoy your journey x

Welcome. You may not lose weight rapidly on this programme but now I've graduated and running 5k regularly, along with healthy eating and swimming and strength work, the weight is finally shifting. But you will feel so good! And you will change shape, and it's amazing!!!! 😁😁
