Anyone starting C25K?

Just started this week. I'm slightly overweight and utterly unfit! Can I do this ..... 

I've signed up for a 5K in December giving me 9 weeks to train.

Anyone want to join?

I keep saying that I'm going to and then coming up with excuses not to do it.
My plan is to start it after half term (another excuse I know!). I can't do it in the evenings as my DH is helping to renovate my Dad's house so he's not around until late.
I do need to do it though. I've put a lot of weight on over the last few years and I want to be fitter too.
Just hoping that I can do it, I am so unfit!

And i am 3 stone overweight so really need to get off my backside and do something.

Morning. I did this a few years ago and loved it but I haven't kept it up.

Feel a bit of a failure starting again but I know it works so really should.

I think I will go today!

I started on Thursday using the NHS app. I still can't walk properly after it (major DOMS) and run number 2 is due this afternoon! I'm really hoping I get into it and catch the running bug people talk about.

I did it 12 years ago (printed off and stuck on the fridge, no apps then!) and have never looked back. It's the single best thing I have ever done for myself, transformed my life in more ways than I could ever have dreamed.

It's amazing how much progress you can make in a short time if you stick with the plan. Have a great time.

Yes, I’m putting off starting but need to..... I’ve never run before and I’m overweight and so unfit. I did start it a few years ago but didn’t finish due to an injury (not related to running).

I am on week two. I haven't run since school ( and not much then !)so was dreading it but it has been good so far. Not too difficult yet, and I feel good afterwards. I got properly fitted for some running shoes as was worried about my knees . I am really surprised that I am enjoying it so far. I didn't think I would even manage a minute
