Couch to 5k challenge

I worked my way through the C25K programme this year, it is a great way to learn to run, I would recommend it to anyone, who wants to uptheir exercise. I found it took me about 5 months to actually the 5k without stopping, this could be because of my age (57) and being a couple of stone overweight, but I stuck to it and did it, bear in mind I have never run in mylife before! The programme claims you should run 5K in 30mins – well I shall never do that 40 mins is about my standard, but most importantly I CAN DO IT!!!
 
It is a good programme. I completed it a couple of months ago and am now on the 2nd week of bridge to 10k :). I'm running for Age uk in March :)
 
I've just completed this, I manage about 3.5k at the moment.. I run pretty slow but I am over weight and have a dodgy ankle.. I really enjoy it though and I never thought I would :)

I did run 1 of week 3 today and found it surprisingly easy. The thought of running for 3mins doesn't seem like a lot but to me it was a huge achievement. And it didn't almost kill me lol!
 
I am about to embark on the c25k challenge I managed week 2 before then gave up! I am now looking to the future and maybe a little optimistic about doing a marathon next year.. It's a goal right?

Lets hope this combined with c210k and SW will see some good (and permanent) weight loss..

Anyone have any similar goals?...

I have worked my way through the c25k programme, I don’thave any ambitions to run any organised races/runs just to keep fit although Ihave done 5k/3 miles I prefer to just run 2 miles each session, I only startedrunning last summer, I’m not far off 58 so can’t expect too much.:)
 
run went really well last night, a lot of the people from the running club ran with the beginners as there wasn't enough of them to do their training, so I ran with them doing my 14 minutes, 1 minute, 14 minutes then when we finished we went for another mile run :) felt really good after
