So I downloaded the app 2 years ago. Did two weeks, weather got a bit crappy and one thing led to another and hey 2 years later!!

January 2020 I was 20st I’m now down to 17st and feel it’s time to start exercising again.

I’m now into week and enjoying it. Cardio was my biggest problem.

I wear a Fitbit and my heart rate is coming down from my initial runs.

I’m using an elliptical machine the days between runs but using the C25K app. Has anyone else done this?

O wow well done! What an achievement so far! I have been bouncing on and off c25k for ages... The weather gets nice, I start the program, I slowly work my way up to managing a 5k ( takes me longer than 9 weeks though, and the eventual 5k takes me about 40 minutes!), then the weather gets worse, I take a few weeks off, and I end up starting again from the week 5 runs! I can honestly say that no, I am not doing the elliptical or anything more than yoga stretches on non- run days - I couldn't! So, in a nutshell, hats off to you, you're doing amazingly well and I wish you good luck xxx
