It took me a bit longer than the actual plan most likely since I am a former smoker. Tonight I completed 3.2 miles and I have lost 25lbs in the process.

I started C25K 8 weeks ago, hoping to do the magic 5K run before I turn 62 in January. I wanted to do it while I still can. Today I ran 5K for the first time in 35m10s. I am thrilled. Huge thanks to the C25K app. It never asks you to do more than you can do.

Hello! I'm new to this forum, and new to working out in general. I've recently graduated college and landed a desk job. I sit at a desk for 8 hours every day. It's rough sometimes, but it has made me realize that I need to focus on my health and fitness habits when I'm not working. I don't want to develop any bad habits from my new job. I'm excited to be a part of this forum! I hope to learn a lot about health and fitness from everyone.

Hello everyone! Over the last year and a half, I have successfully lost 75 pounds and have maintained that loss since last October. (My wife and I joined Weight Watchers in January 2017 and have been thrilled with the program!) I’m now ready for the next step, which is adding strength training and toning to my regimen. I have plenty of options at the gym, but I’m not sure where to start. I should note that I’m rehabbing a knee from meniscus surgery last year (running is questionable) and I am 59 years old. Any suggestions for a good routine to start out with? I’m thinking lap swimming is a good start, but I also need to build some upper body and core strength and tone my saggy abs. Help is appreciated, even if it’s directing me to resources.

Hello Fitness / Running Experts, While doing running portions of C25K, 10K or marathon run/walk programs, 1) can one be running too slowly? 2) if they are too slow, is it really running, or is it fast walking mistaken as running? I believe I can instinctively say that I am doing running, although it's very slow. How do I make sure that it is not slow to a point where it is impacting relevance of the program or below the minimum running speed expectations of the program. How do I improve upon such issues? Thank you for helping! Background: I started with C25K and then on week 3 switched over to marathon and then took a break before I could finish week 1 there. Now I really want to finish C25K first, then 10K and then marathon. I am 5'5'' and 255 lbs. Have been trying to fasttrack C25K. I realize that best food option for me is eating a "whole food plant based" (aka WFPB) diet, low fat and with a caloric deficit (lesser intake of calories that what I would burn (including exercise)... this along with exercise would be the key to my weight loss and fitness. Having sustained control on my food addiction has been the biggest challenge for me. Regards

Louis, did you keep with it? Or did you look for a different 10k training program?

I have 61 happy and inactive years behind me. I have slug genes. If I can do it anyone can.
