Friend2most Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 I am a 305 pound 32 yr old guy! And looking ahead is freaking me out! What are some tips to get past these next few days! Running 20 mins is crazy to me and I definitely can't get two miles in 20 mins! Friend2most 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torus_ot Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 You made it to Week 5 - it is super. Be proud of it! Week 5 is challenging one. Do not worry about speed or distance. Reduce the pace. Just try to push through even if you have to switch to power walking in the middle. If you cannot make it from the first attempt don't be disappointed. You will get through it eventually. The journey itself is more important then destination! Moonstruck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torus_ot Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 It should help. Just remember do not race with others (for me it is very difficult), keep the pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torus_ot Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Way to go! We need more details. Was running in pack helpful? What was key to success? Keep us posting 'til week 9 at least! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friend2most Posted June 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 The people I was running with were way more fit. But they encouraged me when I would slow down a bunch. I think I made it about two miles but not sure. I was not sore! Just getting out of breath near the end. I felt like I could keep walking a bunch after!
