edited November 2024 in Motivation and Support
Several people posting in various fitness threads on C25K, so I thought it might be helpful to have one in the motivation/support forum.

So, to begin:

Height: 5'4"
Weight: unsure, but around 180/190 lbs?
C25K stage: Today was W2D2, covered 3.11km in 31 minutes.
Nutrition: MFP goal of 1250 plus sometimes additional calls from exercise if I'm hungry
Goal: To run 5k straight on 31 December


It's not killing me, thankfully, but it isn't easy.
I'm already a bit anxious about later in the C25K plan and whether I'll get there at all or not, so hoping a group of us in this thread might spur each other on!

    This morning I've signed up to my first ever 5k, and I'm determined to run the whole thing...

    C25K is great, I did this last year and was able to run a 10k event by the end of the year!
    With the help of this app I not only found a new love for running, but lost 4 stone!

    Having to start again at the moment, on week 2 atm, due to an operation in December setting me back, but back on it and loving every step I take even through the pain and sweat!

    Good luck with you 5k event!
