Hiya
Im looking for new motivational buddys. Im on week 3 day 1 of c25k and its going ok. I want to lose around a stone. Main issue for me is change from pretty physical job to 9-5 desk job and snacking. Just need to flip the routine.
I live in Glasgow btw.
Look forward to having some new pals :)

    Just started on the treadmill at home, easing in slowly this time, I usually go mad and make my already bad knees ( combination of my current job and running etc in boots in the Army a long while ago), even worse.

    Once my legs get over the shock of being used again, then I'll have a crack at the C25K

    You can never have enough friends and support.

    I am on week 5 right now, and I have never been a runner and I have never been really physically active so this has been extremely hard for me. I am always looking for support to get me through some of the harder weeks. This week has been difficult to get the motivation.

    Im glad to see people having success with c25k...its how i started..I never actually finished because I decided to train for a half marathon..have done 3 since..

    keep up the good work with it...it definitly turned running into an addiction for me.

    Not doing c25k but I do run.

    Stick with it! Keep in mind that the program has you either running for time or distance, not both. So do not feel compelled to cover the distance in a given amount of time. Go at a pace that is comfortable for you to finish.
    Running was hard at first, and honestly I didn't like it. But I kept at it, and it got easier. Once you have that run where everything feels good, then it's sooooo worth it!
