Today, I'm trying some 1K intervals with 2 minutes of rest between each one. I hoping to get my body use to running at a faster pace for my 5k race in February.

So I completed day one of week one last night on my home treadmill. After not running for 6 months due to having a new partner and being loved up, it is now time to get back into fitness as the weight has crept on slowly. I had to stop half way through to re cooperate and prevent a full on heart attack lol but carried on and completed it. I sweated like a pig and felt like I was dying. But it will get better. My aim is to work up to a 10K run and also a mud run in the summer and to obviously lose about 2 stone and improve my fitness. I overhauled my diet about 3 weeks ago. Yes over Christmas too! Lost about 10 lbs since then. I do find running really boring so I'm probably going to start with just this app and as I improve I'm going to incorporate some strength training. I have the whole of jan off uni so hopefully I can make a serious improvement in that time. Age : 24 Weight 11.4 stone Goal weight: 9 stone Fitness goal: be able to run 10k in under an hour. Anyone in the same position as me??

Finished!!!! Pushed through the pain and felt good. Now to get my speed up.

Finished week 8 c25k today. Not running full 5km yet but will start 10k app and some interval running to help speed. Go me!

Keep going - we all started where you are now. I still feel like I am flogging a dead horse some days but others I rock!!! I won't give up!
