Thakasile Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Hey guys!So this is my first attempt at any proper running program as I've been afraid to do so my whole life. I've always been overweight and unfit and this year I've managed to lose about 14kg through diet and exercise. The weight isn't coming off as quickly as before so I was hoping this would be the jump start I need.I'm currently on week 2 and it's challenging but I'm surprised that I can actually do it! Any tips you guys can offer? Also, I'm looking for some friends to help me stay motivated so please don't be shy to message me. Thanks in advance!

Thakasile Posted December 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Hi there! Thanks for the response. Yes I've already invested in some good running shoes because of my weight. Also, I'm a female. Any suggestions for strength training that I can do without weights and a gym? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendell Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 My biggest tip to you would be no matter how hard it gets, don't quit. You CAN do this!! If you're getting too tired during the running segments, slow down. No shame in that. Good luck and keep us posted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
