5k times for the heavier folks
Ive searched the net and looked thru a heard of post here about 5k times. I see a lot of 5k's in the 20 and 30 min range but a good chunk of them seem to be by folks less than 200 lbs. Im looking for folks 250 lbs or heaving (300+ would be better) that have done a 5k. I managed to jog (crawl) 3.1 miles nonstop the other…

Fat to 5K: Susan G Koman 10K Race Report
I've decided to step it up a notch and signed up my first 10K. By this point I am down 120 lbs and have hit 6+ miles during my training runs 6-7 times. I signed up for the first ever Susan G Koman Race for the Cure 10K. My brother-in-law and a buddy of mine signed up as well. Granted both of them are 2-3 mins per mile…

Fat to 5K: Aug 4th RR
After having great success with my first 5K, I thought I would torture myself with another. It’s been exactly 1 month from my last 5K. I wogged that one in 41:26 with my goal for that day being under 44:00 mins. I am 12 lbs lighter today vs previous race (total of 107 lbs now) and the temp was 15 deg cooler. My main goal…

I need a strength training plan, HELP!
Most of my life the weight room wasnt a place you would find me. While I have spent time in one, it was for football. Many moons later and 100+ lbs gone, I need to start adding some muscle before I turn into that skinny fat guy. As of right now, a typical week for me looks like this: 3-4 days a week jogging anywhere from…

Fat to 5k: July 4th 5k race report
I’ve been been on MFP for 11 months now. I’ve lost 95 lbs up to this point. I started 2-3 months ago to jog. Mainly to help get past a plateau. I’ve done a couple un-official 5k’s around my house but that is going just off my phones GPS. I figured the only way to find out what I can do is sign up for a legit 5k, so that’s…

Major NSV over the weekend.
Sat I was in the garage area at Kentucky Speedway. When we first got there we walked thru all the fan stuff up front before heading into the garage. Which means walking thru the tunnel to get to the infield. From our car to pit road was well over a mile. We went from the back of the garage to the front straight wall, and…

Starting tomorrow...
Title pretty much says it all. I've been walking 7-8 months and now just getting into jogging. Ive been told even though I have jogged on and off for the past month I still should do C25K to get my body warmed up to the idea of jogging. Any advice or suggestions before I start?

Hit the proverbial wall... no what to do?
I started this journey 280 days ago at 340 lbs. This wasnt a crash diet to just lose weight but more so a change of lifestyle. I decided I wasnt going to stop eating some of the food I love, just less of it. So far Ive lost around 80 lbs by eating better and getting off my rear (walking with a little but of jogging in the…

First NSV
I feel like I started this journey 4 scores and 7 years ago. While its really only been a few months, I have managed to lose 33 lbs in about 8 weeks. I figure a few more weeks and I will break that 300 barrier. Now whats that have to do with my NSV? Everything... At 340 lbs and being a athlete trapped in a fat guys body, I…
