[quote=Anonymous]I'm 10 lbs overweight (was 60) and I've finished C25K. I am not a runner by nature. It did not come easily, and there are women bigger than I was at the beginning who had an easier time than I did. And I'm still not someone who enjoys running. I repeated weeks until I was comfortable enough to move up. Some weeks were easier than others -- I got mired in Week 3, but Week 4 was a breeze. IDK why. Same pattern for Week 7 and Week 8. I did one workout per week outside. The changeup helped me focus on distance rather than speed. When I was struggling, like in Week 3, I slowed my pace, bringing it up only when I was comfortable and ready to do so. I cross trained with weights. It took a while to see the effects, but once I had more core strength and leg strength, it got easier. I also did spin class (no pool at my gym, sadly, b/c I would have preferred that) and Pilates. So I hope that helps. Go at your own pace (weeks, speed, everything!).[/quote]
