Hi, welcome and well done for downloading these app and joining the forum. I'm coming to the end of week 3, and all I can say is the support from everyone is fabulous. Enjoy.

[ButtercupKid Graduate]

Welcome along ! You can do this. Just keep it slow and steady. We’re all right here with you 😀

Welcome from another VRB. Virtual Running Buddy!

Two bits of advice.

You don’t have to go fast, you just have to go!

Measure, weigh and record. Biceps, thighs etc. A ‘before’ pic perhaps? It is the only way you will believe the difference this is about to make to you.

Third and most important - ENJOY IT!

Now watch YouTube Japanese Slow Running Man. My role model / hero for speed, stance, breathing and hair colour.

Hey, well done on signing up. I started C25K in January and finished in July - I repeated a few runs and missed a few days - but I can now run 5k and do park run each week.

I love it - I’ve lost 2 stones and gained a waist too.

Good luck

[Luvtorun in reply to Ssasqueen]

Well done ... that’s great encouragement for me...I’d love to lose some weight and progress to Park Runs.... I go to the gym (do a couple of spin classes and Bodypump classes a week) but weight loss has stagnated...hoping trying something different and really challenging for me will kick start it again!
