Gotta love the support on these threads - finished wk2 day 1 today and I smashed it to my surprise! Looking forward to everyone's updates over the next few months

Thanks Jeshi well done to you! I actually did week 2 day 1 today and was so rapt I did it! I actually am gobsmacked and glad to be sharing this journey with other similar people. Thanks for your feedback !

Thanks but marathon running is way out of my aims! Will just be happy to be healthier and hopefully lighter too

I've just finished week 2 day 1 ...... I hope I can do as well as you guys well done

I'm rapt - to understand my celebration know I am 47 overweight and never run in my life. I did week 1 last week and was SOOOO PETRIFIED about running (jogging/shuffling) 90 second blocks. But I read the advice on here - cranked up my iPhone with Meatloaf, and DID NOT LOOK AT THE TIMING ...... Concentrated on the running and music and looking at the river, gardens, birds ....... IT WORKED !!!! Smashed it easier than I thought. Yayyyyyyy. 8.8 weeks to go lol

I'm very jealous and want to progress like so many of you here. I'm determined but scared of failing as I've never never run. I'm reading these threads for ongoing motivation !

How is your journey going? I've just started and I'm older and unfitter than you. I'm also in Australia . Give me an indication of how much harder it gets ! (Just finished week 1 day 3)

Hi all from Australia. So here's the go! 47 years old, overweight but I have walked lots and lots. Decided to start the c25k and I've just finished week 1 day 3. I did OK although my "running" is very slow and definitely a shuffle ! I'm so nervous about week 2 as it entails going from 60 second jogs to 90 seconds! What if I can't make it? I guess it's a whole new world. I'm rapt I've finished the first 3 sessions. Onwards and upwards. Anyone else here start as an overweight walker?
