Apologies to anyone who's already answered this question, I posted it earlier today and couldn't see the answers. I wondered if anyone had experience of taking atenolol whilst doing C25K, I think it is slowing me down, I can only manage 3km in 30 minutes.

You have 29 answers to your original post, if you can scroll down till you find it? My response was that altho I am not on any meds, I was (and still am) pretty slow, I didnt get to 5k till about 3 weeks after graduating (43 min) and then I did a parkrun and did it in just over 38 mins, and my most recent parkrun was 35 mins so it is getting faster lol!
Thank you, that's encouraging to hear
The site's playing up and when I click on my original question it doesn't show me the answers so thank you for answering again.

Thank you for the advice but I don't plan on giving up that easily. I'm going to see my GP about coming off the atenolol and in the meantime I figure that running extremely slowly is better exercise than nothing
