C25K – Walk, Jog, Walk into Shape
I’ve decided to go ahead and start my C25K training again (used it successfully a few years ago). I was going to wait until I lost a little more weight, but I’m motivated – so I said….I’m starting!
I’m excited about this program – because it WORKS! I’ve used it in the past, and found myself to be an overweight woman who was able to run as much as 45 mins at a stretch. I NEVER dreamed I would be able to run even more than ONE minute, but this program has helped A LOT of people ease into running.

I’ve got my first week, workout 1 behind me – and I’m ready to go!
I’m not going to go too fast, because of my weight, and the pressure on my knees – so I won’t be in it to be winning any speed barriers. I simply would like to be exercising, building my lung capacity and feeling great!
For now, I’ll be walking at 3.5mph, and jogging at 4.0mph…When I’m able to, I’ll work on increasing my speed down the line, but for now – this is a comfortable pace for me. Here I go….
