Hi all I'm a 49 soon to be 50 year old unfit and overweight mum and nurse.
I've decided that I need to make major changes to my lifestyle with one of them being the couch to 5k plan. Wk 1 run 1 completed tonight, well I use the term completed loosely as did not manage the whole run without feeling I was having a coronary. But pleased I started and determined I will be a runner.

Well you've done the hardest bit actually making that start, each and every run is something of a challenge but each run you do makes you that bit stronger and prepares you for the next run
Keep going and keep letting us know how you're doing
Well done. Take it slow. Someone mentioned to me that if I could run slower than my brisk walk then I was doing it right. Tried it and the little 'speed' I have came naturally.
Hi Kazzy, your profile could be mine apart from a few years age difference.
Well done on your first run 👍🏻 you'll be surprised at how you quickly your confidence grows. I'm only a few wks ahead of you & doing W3R1 tomorrow morning.
Welcome aboard the C25K roller coaster! That's the hard bit out of the way, you're off the couch 👍 and a great attitude! We're a big happy running family and cheering you along the way ☺
Welcome!!! You sound just like me! I joined 4 weeks ago and I'm loving it so far, especially the support on here. Just stick to the plan as much as you can, and take it nice and steady...we don't want you having that coronary!! 😂
Hello Kazzybe, brilliant that you've decided to take this step. Like tracey73, your story could be mine. I'm doing w3r3 tomorrow and am amazed how much better I feel just after a few short weeks.
Well run 2 completed, well nearly. I'm struggling......alot. Will probably do week 1 again next week and not completing yet. I struggle to believe that in 9 weeks I will run for 30 mins, but no pain no gain ..
