Finally overweight!!

2binshap3 · June 2013

C25k is Couch to 5k, basically a program that gradually trains you physically, and more importantly mentally to run ...when I first started running a minute and a 1/2 felt like eternity, but now I've run multiple 25 minute runs. Doesn't sounds like alot to my healthy friends, but for those of us gasping for air after 100M it is a HUGE deal.

It's free in the App store, I highly recommend it for losing weight.

Quick Tip: Even if you can't run, walking fast in intervals really helps as well.

Congrats! I understand completely. I am hugely looking forward to being overweight myself in about 10 more pounds.

I've wanted to do C25K but even the beginning was too hard for me. I can't run more than 20 seconds or so without gasping for breath and feeling exhausted. Any advice on getting started when the beginning is even too hard?
