I'm starting week 1 of c25k next week, would anybody like to join me?
It's going to be pretty tough for me because I've spent the past year on crutches and have only learnt how to walk again in the past few weeks, went for my first jog today and only lasted 13mins...I'm hoping I'll succeed in the c25k programme!
JOIN ME :)

xoxo

Emma.

    It seems like I have been on Week 1 for 2 weeks now, I am getting shin splints so bad I have to stop along with some knee pain. I am going to attempt it again possibly tonight if it doesn't storm.

    I am going to start this next week. I would love to have some extra support as I have tried running before and it didn't workout. But I am determined to do it this time because I have signed up for a 5K that I will be doing in August.

    Anyone else try your first run? How did you get on?

    I'm trying again tomorrow, lasted 13mins the first time, going to push myself to the 20mins tomorrow!

    My first days is actually going to be on Tuesday. I am finishing up the last week of my Turbo Fire program. Then I will be combining the c25k with Chalean Extreme and throwing Turbo Fire in somedays.
    I'm a little nervous about starting the c25k cuz I've never been a good runner, but I figured I needed a new goal to reach since I am so close to my goal weight.
