  • In 2013 I did the Zen Labs c25k which had 8 weeks in the programme. I was 48 yrs old and weighed over 14 stone when I started.

  • I'm not allowed to wear my fitbit at work so on those days find it difficult to get 10000 steps in - but I have a dog and walk him before and after work.

I am initially aiming at a goal of 11 stone but know I will still be…

  • thanks for the replies - the conversion thing makes sense - guess I'm just an old fashioned girl wanting to work in imperial!!
