Guest NewRunner Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 I'm 38, hit 14 stone (196 pounds) for the first time ever a few days ago. I'm 5ft 11inches tall. I've been talking about doing this couch to 5k for the last 2 years but haven't had the courage. I was very very active and skinny as a teenager but my fitness went downhill in my 20s and I've been lazy since. I wanted to create this post both to keep a track of how I am doing and to motivate myself. I am so so unfit. I'm afraid of bottling it half way through my first day and giving up For anyone interested I'll keep you posted. Cecimaguina 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tevez032 Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 I'm starting today too. This isy second time, I got to the end of week 6 last time. I went on holiday for a week and never got to week 7. Each day I found it a real slog, but as the weeks go by although you still feel shattered afterwards you start to realise you can jog after all! I was doing 25 minutes non stop jogging after starting out doing 60/90 second bursts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JC Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 What ever you do, don't go back on your decision to start. If it gets hard keep moving, even if it's just a shuffle. I find I run in the early morning and it's a great way to start the day. This is my second time with this app. I got to week 4 and had a two week break. Decided to start from scratch and don't regret it at all. All the best mate. Post again and let everyone know how your doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kim Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Hi I have been doing this app for the past two days and love it. I have never run before but has always wanted to learn. This app has been good for me as I do not give up and it makes me want to carry on to the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Trisha Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 I am starting this app tomorrow. I use to run avidly and had a set back in feb with a torn tendon. Getting past the injury has been a set back physically and emotionally but I have been fully released to begin training and need some help doing this in a slow but steady pace. Very excited to a new life style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
