  • 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 thought I would die several times during the 8 weeks, and repeated some weeks as well. I took part in a Boxing Day charity run of 4miles on 26/12/13 then took a break as I'd fallen in early Dec.…
    in Which week did you find challenged you the most? Comment by hep275 April 2015

I am initially aiming at a goal of 11 stone but know I will still be…
    in What am I doing wrong...frustrating! Comment by hep275 February 2015
  • Found it for the flex - settings, personal info then in the area where it asks whether you are pregnant/nursing, there is an option to set stride and running stride length.
