    Hi you all, I just did W1D1 today, and it was very exhausting and exhilarating for me. The last time I attempted this program I was weighed alot less !!! I injured my knee by running outside to soon without the proper shoes, I now have some running shoes and plan on keeping it on my treadmill at 1-2 % incline to help transition outdoors, it is one of my fitness dreams to run a marathon, I am in need of much support, I am afraid I will hurt my knee.

    Is there any strengthening exercises I can do that will specific help my lower body to help prevent injuries in my running ?

    I really don't want to give up on this program.

    Last night I just walked at 3.6 on the treadmill for 5 minutes, then I ran for as long as I could at 5.1. Then I would walk for 1.5 minutes then run again , I kept on doing this for 35 minutes. I'm going to do this everyday and take weekends off. Then in the morning I do the 30Day Shred. I hope this will work. I want to do a 10K in May

    I restarted C25K again last week! I've missed a few days simply because I was out of town, it rained and my hotel didn't have a gym. So, this week, I'll need to double up to get back on track. I dislike running in the rain...Rain drops beating on my face, it kinda hurts. Funny thing is, I'm home, and it's raining here too! LOL...

    Anyway, I say, give it a go because you'll see your endurance and stamina improving. I'm 270+ and I do a combination of running and walking. More running though...when I do slow down, I add an extra 3 mins or so to jog at the end. Stay hydrated and stay focused. You can do it...:smile:
