Robin Hood Full
Well abbreviated version Stopped training plan at the start of August knee injury, before Sunday ran 44 miles in the previous 7 weeks. Gone from a sub 4hour plan to lets finish plan and under 5 hours would be great. Got round in 4:25:01, ecstatic. Emotional, very. Longer version. With all the road closures yesterday and…

The power of C25k
To give you something to aim for and to show the power of this programme and subsequent ones. This time last year I could not run, I started C25k on 15 June 2014. I started it with all the same trepidations that you guys/girls have. I feared W3D5, the 20 min run. I struggled with my ego and going to fast (10 minute miles).…

Finally got it!
I have been avoiding running outside for a long time, but the gyms air conditioning system has failed and it was unbearable to use the treadmills in the gym. It was also too hot yesterday so I vowed to do my c25k week 5 day 1 session this morning outside. Well I did it. More importantly I naturally slowed down, not keeping…

Help required please

I have lost 26kgs(57lbs) over the last 5 months predominantly measuring all foodstuffs going into my mouth and eating back exercise calories, classic CICO. I moved from doing nothing to doing t25 and now a mix of strong lifts 5x5 and C25k. I have been doing…

4 months and getting there
So where to start, pictures and stats at the end Mid Feb: Doctors. Well you are going to inject for life unless you make some changes. Even if you make some changes you still might need to inject for life. You are prediabetic, you still have a choice. I took it to heart. First 7 weeks, some changes, all unstructured,…

T25 for those who are struggling
Finished week 1 of Beta and boy what a rollercoaster it was. Some sessions I love, some I detest, weight loss stalled for 10 days. It was getting to a point where I thought I am putting a lot in but not getting much out. It was similar to a lot of stories I had read about plateaus. When I read them I often judge (its wrong…

Small steps and T25 Alpha complete (sort of)
Big guy, diagnosed as prediabetic in February 2014 at 127kgs. I couldn't face taking a picture of myself at that weight. Had some success with losing weight but it moved around a lot and was not consistent. Found T25 and believed it was something I could hang on to, then found here. Have put the 2 together along with…

Found a burning platform to make a change
Have been lurking around the forums since joining 3 weeks ago. It is has been quite inspirational to see many of the stories on here. I was given a pretty stark choice, run the risk of medicating for the rest of my life or do something about my lifestyle. I picked the later. Found Focus T25 and here 3 weeks ago, and that…
