Rubbish. Her profile points out that the picture isn't her, and that she prefers to remain anonymouse. How is that any more misleading than the users who put up cartoon images as profile pics, or none at all. Get a life.

I've done C25K twice - first time I overdid it and ran extra days - ended up getting sore shins and dropped out.

Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion, but don'tcha think it is a bit rich for you to be so dismissive of it when you're 50lb overweight yourself? If you knew all the answers maybe you wouldn't need to be on here? A lot of your posts are really negative, instead of being supportive and encouraging like most…
