I'm finding that C25K is really improving my mood which is great. I'm getting stomach discomfort which isn't great, but a lot of people get it Apparantly.

What are very ones else's positives and negatives of C25K?

Stomach discomfort can be caused by running too soon after eating or just going a bit too fast.

I honestly have nothing but positive things to say about c25k.

The plan is well thought out and you can repeat any run or week you wish.

But this amazing forum that runs along side c25k is amazing.

The plan and the people on here got me from running 0 to 30 minutes and then 5k . 😊😊

I don't eat just before running, but the up and down pressure on the stomach is probably aggrivating my already sensitive stomach.

the only down side to c25k is i have to buy lots of snazzy running clothes and new trainers :)

haha, I'm dressing to be seen rather than for fashion reasons.

Oh yeah, parked cars blocking the pavements and people driving up on the pavement coming towards me is another con.
