I'm very overweight too and i feel hugely better after running c25k. Even under all the blubber i can see the difference c25k has made to my legs. If you lift your leg up in the air and tense the muscles you will see real definition around the shins, calves and thighs that didnt exist a few months ago. Breathing also is much better.
You are probably in better shape now after completing c25k than you would have been if you had lost ten pounds.
I have been waiting for this blog from you i knew you would do it. I am still waiting to start week 9 as my knees are sore, but hopefully will start this week.
And congratulations on getting to 5k perhaps i will do the same on my last run, i will let you know
You should join a running club now you've graduated, there's loads of runners there that could benefit from your advice! Lol I find myself doing the same
Fantastic Holly. Well done you especially for keeping on for the 5 k. I've just done W8R2 which was harder than W8R1 for some reason. I've been enjoying your posts and replies and it all helps to keep me motivated so thanks and congrats again.
Well done, Holly! It makes ME proud (lol) to "hear" the elation in your voice...I'm not far behind...would you mind running behind me and offering advice so I can go a little faster? lol
Well done, what a great achievement. I hope you enjoyed a well-deserved celebration. How do people celebrate by the way? I've yet to do the dreaded 20 minutes at the end of this week but I like to plan ahead! Keep blogging and encouraging and keep on running.
