Sailorgirl Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Have tried C25k before in the last few years. Currently heavy and unfit. Started again today after a tough year when I developed severe anxiety and panic attacks. Because I felt like I couldn't breathe I stopped exercising as I used to panic when I got out of breath. I have had some CBT, started HRT and today I just went for it. Had a scary wobble after run 3 but it passed. Am now hot, sweaty and red but feel like I am on my way back. Looking forward to run 2(I think!!!) the breathing advice in this forum was really helpful so thank you xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenn72 Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Good luck! I find the running helps with my anxiety a bit. Keep at it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anand Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 I hear you. Ive also done this app before. Now ive gone totally unfit for 8 months and just reinstalled it, enough is enough! All the weight is back and then some. For me i listen to music when i run because i realized my effort would be less if i could hear myself breathing while running. (Probably related to anxiety too). Good luck to you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailorgirl Posted January 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Run 2.... Tick. Still panicky after 1st 2 runs but then felt calm and relaxed which was really pleasing. Run 3 tomorrow. Been eating sensibly so we'll see... Thanks for your support . The stiffness from 1st running for ages is wearing off too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elesher Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Glad that the stiffness wears off! Today was W1D1 for me and I'm sore all over. My tub didn't hold water so I couldn't even get a good bath. =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
