Couch to 5k

Anyone doing it?
My sister has done it and is now working on the 10k installation. She is overweight. I'm overweight, not to her extent, but can't run.

I want to try it and was wondering if anyone else would like to as well, I'm planning on using the iPhone app and starting when my period ends haha.

For those of you unfamiliar with it:

I'm doing it right now. On week 2 and I love it! It's a lot of fun and doesn't even feel like I'm really doing anything, although I've lost 4 pounds.

Did you have trouble running before?

I'm anemic, and I smoke (though I've cut back immensely).

I was doing it before morning sickness took over and I can barely walk to the bathroom without being out of breath lol. I'm about 70lbs overweight and it was doable for me.

I blew out my knee about 5 years ago, so sometimes that gives me some trouble. And I have a heart condition that I take meds for (mitral valve prolapse and palpitations). But I've always been pretty active, I was running on the elliptical, doing zumba and yoga and wakeboarding now that it's warm in Ohio. Sometimes it gives me issues but I usually just suck it up and deal lol

I wanna do it....I cant run and im no where near overweight

Haha same here. Smurf running.  

Was there a 10k version? I did a 5k recently but the morning sickness has been kicking my butt since.

The C25K people haven't made one yet but there's an app called Bridge to 10k that someone else made for those who want to continue after C25K.

ok, and good luck, just getting out the door counts for something.

I have the application and I'm gonna aim to start tomorrow

yes, i'm on week 3 day two today!  

I'll try! I used to love track when I was like...a freshman. Not usually long distance but I could smoke the half-mile lol.
But I need to get into shape really bad and I am not a runner, as much as I wish I was. I think running is hot. lmao. Bryan used to run 3 miles every morning before his leg got messed up.

I want to do it, but not by myself, so I was going to get my DH to do it with me. The only thing is he thinks he is too overweight for something like that, he weighs around 330 lbs. Does anyone know if it is okay for him to do it with me?

I've been eyeing it for a year.... Lmao. I bought the app and everything. Gotta get my butt motivated.
