MelB Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 What I do is keep doing each day until I felt confident to move on to the next stage. Don't feel bad if you can't do it just walk for that section instead. Good luck and keep going! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladywolf Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 I am also 41 and overweight. I just did week 1 day 1. After the first couple of rotations, I only ran for 30 seconds instead of the full minute, and I only completed 19 minutes. I plan to just keep doing day 1 until I can complete it. I don't feel like I failed because I was able to get out there and try. Hang in there, and maybe we can do this somewhat together. ceemoe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2curvy Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Thanks MelB and Ladywolf. So I just did Week 1 Day 2, and I managed the whole thing!!!! I can't believe it! Granted I was gasping for air and my throat was burning, but I did it! So pleased with myself. Thanks for your kind words. Today's a good day.

Bsun Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 I have been on week 5 for like 3 weeks now. Lol, I started this program over two months ago, but I haven't been consistent with my running days and then have to do the weeks over again because I had lost my endurance. Keep it up! And don't skip days! It really messes you up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyAnn Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Great Advice Bsun, you can do it. Finish that Week 5!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janviv Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 I am 66, overweight & I haven't run since school. I have started C25K a couple of times & repeated problem days/weeks as necessary, I couldn't do Week1 Day1 when I started, yesterday I did W5 day3 (2nd attempt). If I can do it you can too, just do it at your own pace & enjoy your achievement. Best wishes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
