    Glad you're going to give it a shot! You're definitely not too heavy. :) Start slow, but you'll be zooming along in no time!

    Glad you're giving it a go. My husband is 5'5" and 205lbs and can out run 5'5" 147lb me. We started doing c25k together when he was nearer 230lbs and he's been fine. In fact its me that has had PF and calf issues! We're now training for a half marathon and I'm off to try keeping up with him on an 11k run this morning. Just listen to your body and stop if you need to.

    I started running when I was about 16stone...I say running, it was more of a slow jog, but I kept on going and the results were great..... one thing you could try is aqua jogging - you can buy the jogging belts on line and they keep you upright in the water and you just run like normal. it is really good cos its the same as jogging but without the impact. Good luck :)
