You have all inspired me . I need to check out c25k now. I tried jogging several years ago, ended up with a stress fracture in my left shin and on crutches for 6 weeks. Just decided then that fat girls should not jog. So excited to see what this entails. Thanks
Just take it slow and wear the right footwear. Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day!0 -
Some great advice from everyone! Thanks! I checked out the C25K and it seems doable. Still looking up some apps on my phone to help with this (I have a Droid). I'll give an update in the coming week or so to let y'all know how I'm doing with it! Thanks again...0

I love C25K!!! I have done 5K and 10K races at my heaviest weight of 210 pounds - next 10K will be in two weeks!!!0

started @ 400+ lbs. everyones got it covered. C25K is a great program. don't worry about pace just work on endurance. as I build up my endurance I added in speed afterwards. I still am slow but I can go alot further now w/o walk breaks than I could in the past.0
