I'm new to running so no advice here - but sounds like a great goal! Do you bike and swim already?

How about 'slog' - as in slow jog? That's what mine feels like! I'm super slow. But going further each week. And that's the key, I think. Compare yourself to yourself alone, not to anyone else - especially when just starting. Hang in there, Jay! You can't improve if you stop trying! Keep working at your own pace and I'm sure you'll see progress.

Hello R4L! I'm hypothyroid so I know how hard it can be to get going sometimes - I've found even just the few weeks I've been doing on C25K have been helpful for energy levels. (Along with my usual meds of course!)

I just finished week 4 and found it quite a challenge. R2 felt especially hard, although I did note that the second 5 min interval was the first time I felt like my legs were dying, and not my lungs! It did get a little better/more do-able feeling on R3. I did it - You can do it, too, Jaquie!
