Hey everybody :flowerforyou:

I am interested in starting this programme. I literally could not run to save my life. I have decided on Monday I am going to give this C25K thing a bash!
I found a great area on this programme on the NHS site and it has inspired me to give it a go. It has downloadable podcasts for MP3 players for each week to talk you through it as your running/walking.

If anybody else is thinking of starting this programme it would be great to have some support and inspiration whilst I am doing so as I know I will find it really hard as I generally just use the rowing and bikes at the gym. So I am not wasting my gym membership I am going to start off on the treadmill and if I get the running bug I may venture outdoors!

  • Check out the forum below. Good group of people doing the program.

    I started on June 22 and got to 5k in August and 10k last week. Still can't believe it - I could NEVER run before.

    It works!

    I think I will give it a try, too!
    Do you know if the app can be used for the treadmill?
    Friend me if you want to!

    Yes - the app is time based. So it will say "Begin your warmup now", and "Start running now", and "1 minute left", etc.
