Hello I’m a 58 year old who is extremely overweight with arthritis in my back, high blood pressure and a sluggish Thyroid. I do walk at least 3x a week for 30 min and I am mindful of eating healthy. I never really was a runner. I friend of mine told me about the C25K and explained how this is the program for me to drop the weight. So I bought myself some good running/walking shoes and will be starting my 1st day in week 1 today! Wish me luck!

Hi everyone, I'm RL. I decided to do the C25k mostly for myself but also due to a rigorous course that I am looking to take up in January. I'm giving myself a full 90 days to see not only my cardio and endurance to build back up to what it is, but to also get more hard bodied. Everyday day, whatever it takes. I fell off a little while ago. A bad relationship break up had me down, but I'm looking to heal myself through exercise and body goals. Good luck to everyone!

Hey everyone, my name is Des and I'm starting the c25k program because I can't run at all (thanks shitty lungs and poor life choices) and I want to get a good grade in P.E. because sadly where I live it counts towards my GPA. I failed a running test and I'm pretty sure my teacher hates me so I guess its up to me to put up the effort because I'm NOT fucking up my chances at entering med school because of running. I know this is gonna be a horrible and painful journey but it will probably be pretty rewarding so hey I'm looking forward to turning into Speedy Gonzalez, not dissapointing my teacher more than I've already done and actually being fit for once in my life and maybe making the damage that I've put my lungs through not that bad. Cheers ;)

Running my very first half marathon with my daughter on November 10, her birthday, on NASA property. Excited and nervous at the same time. I feel determined to complete it....that’s my goal at this point since I am just now starting this journey. I really want to get into the best shape I have ever been in.

Our goal is to complete this program and run a 5K without walking. We need to get in shape and stop hating how we look and feel.

I started as a new runner. Zero running experience. 57 yrs old. Post 250 lb weightloss. I could barely make it through the first week.... Until I read to slow down my running to a conversation level (can say a sentence or two without gasping for air) I am now on week 6, day 2. From now on, it is straight running, no intervals. My son and I feel much better about ourselves. We are Proud of our accomplishments. My body shape is improving. If we can do it... You can!

I repeated week 1 and week 4. I never in my lif thought I could ever run 28 minutes without stopping but I just did it twice. In two days I am going for 30 and I am signrd up for my first 5k a week later.
