Yep. Started beginning last year and couldn't run at all. Struggled through every week and completed in may in time for race for life. Did a few more runs then circumstances got in the way and had a break until quite recently. Got back into it no problem and loving it now. Kicking myself for having to stop! C25k is sooooooo amazing. If it can get me running it can work for anyone! X

Fantastic! It's great to see someone 'real' (if that makes sense) that it's worked for. Done week five day one today. Was tough but determined to get through. Hoping the exercise will change my shape as I'm really struggling on the scales oh well. Need to download another audiobook tho as find it distracts me better, I think too much with music lol x

Can you not add your own playlist to your c25k??

Hi everyone, I'm one happy girl. I finally finished my c25k program after like forever. Yay me! I can't believe I can finally run 5k non-stop. Day 3 I covered 5k in 36min 50sec. Gonna do a couple more weeks of 5k and then i'm moving on to B210k . Good luck to all the newbies.

Well done Maggie! That's brilliant. I'm sure you're so proud of yourself.

I'm starting B210k today. I meant to do it a few weeks ago but was March was so busy. I've signed up for a 10k race on 20th May do that should keep me focused!

Thanks Sinead .

Good luck with B210k. I wonder if there is a dedicated thread *thinking* coz I would definitely like to join since i'm going to be attempting b210k soon. Anyway do let us know how you get on with that and good luck. You definitely have plenty of time for the race in May. All the best.

Thanks to you and everyone else on here for the encouragement . I can't believe that this time last year I couldn't even run more than a minute without gasping for air, and now...such a good feeling. Hoping I can run as well as you and also increase my distance. Right now 5k is just about as much as I can do but hopefully will be increasing distance in the next couple of weeks. Will keep updating here.

Hi Maggie. Yes there's a B210k thread here if you're interested - http://www.minimins.com/fitness-exer...k-jogging.html (B210K....Jogging on.....)

Maybe give yourself a couple weeks to get used to get used to the 5k & then move on. Day 1 was alright. I was bright red by the end of it but I did it which is the main thing. It feels great to be following a plan again. I'll let you know how I get on.

Thank you, I will subscribe but I won't get started until after 2 or 3 weeks. I want to try and lose a stone first so I am upping my cardio and weight training. B210k is definitely going to be more demanding and I want to be ready for it. Well done on getting started on day 1 .

Hi guys! I love this app!

I completed it but want to go at a faster pace! So I've started again at level 4 and I'm running at a pace of 10k per hour!!

I can do 30mins at about 8k ph but as soon as I speed up I'm knackered! So back to level 4 for me at faster pace!

Well done-what do you mean by level 4 tho? Unless you've got a different app to me? Or do you mean week 4?
