Congrats on the Grouse Grind. Have not done it (I don't live there) but know how tough it is.
On the weight thing, yeah it gets easier to run as you lose weight but TT is right as I know one guy who has about 40 lbs on me and can kick my *kitten* any time.
You'll be doing halfs in no time

You are so inspiring! Great job crushing your goals. I know you'll make it to your 10k goal soon.1

So today was boxing day but I got up early put in my new Bose wireless headphones and complete run number 2 in Week 7 of the Couch to 10K....
I thought I was going to collapse after 5 minutes but I did not let myself stop! I powered on through with a minor hangover and little sleep!
I did it... I'm doing it... I'm loving it!
Roll on next week when the runs go to 28 Minutes!4 -

Great job! Like @TavistockToad said, you are definitely a runner!!
I did most of that program too! It worked really well for me until about 3/4 of the way through. By then, I could run for quite a while and found the walk intervals disruptive. Like, it was harder to restart running than just keep going. I found a 5 to 10K trainer by Active that I really like and have finished now. It mixes in shorter runs, longer runs, intervals and no walk breaks. For me, it got me past the barrier I hit with C210K. Obviously, do what works for you. I know a ton of people that used and loved the C210K app but for anyone else out there who got stuck like me, I wanted to throw out another option that I ended up really liking.0 -
@KellyLouiseGibson - Nice headphones! I got my dad some for Christmas and now I’m kind of wishing I’d bought myself a pair!
Also great job on the runs!1 -

Hey :-) I'm gonna be changing over to the 10K app in 2 weeks when I have run 5K. The app I have downloaded is an American one so not sure what it's gonna be like. I'm currently running for 28 Minutes straight no walking breaks and I think I should keep it like that just keep adding extra minutes on each week, if I start walking between now doubt I will get going :-/. I need to check the new app soon so it's ready for me to change over. Xx0 -

I think she’s doing C25K first then moving on to the 10K one so it’s the last week before moving on to the 10K plan.

I downloaded the C25K app a few weeks ago but done nothing with it yet - just been working with weights and dieting. Read through the whole thread and it’s really motivated me to get started today - thank you and well done on your achievement!3
