200lbs+ C25K Nov. 23-29

AFatManRunning — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 06:32:36 GMT

Hello one and all--those currently and formerly 200lbs+. Most in this thread are following (or at least started with) the Couch to 5k Running Program from Coolrunning.com. There's a set of podcasts that was recorded to let you listed to audible cues to guide you through the program. If you have an mp3 player, it is easier than carrying a watch or watching a clock. A lot of people download them to their iPods. If you need them in actual mp3 format, you'll find a link at the top of the page.

We use these weekly threads to keep up with each other, and to encourage each other. If you've been following these threads for a while, please chime in.

Tuesday Runs

So no running for me, but after being able to sleep through the night without getting up to eat I hit the elliptical for 45 minutes. I feel pretty darn good. I could probably be back to running tomorrow but will wait until the end of the week if only because I'm lazy and don't want to start running yet

Starting C25k tomorrow 9/29. Anyone want to Join?

I've never been a good runner, so I feel this is a good way to start! I'm going to do my workouts on Tuesday, Thursdays, and Saturdays. If anyone is starting, or not too far along lets stay in touch

C25k starting next week 11/16- who's in?

Ok, a little background on myself. I'm 28 (well, I will be in a couple of days), mother to a 2 year old, and about 40lbs. overweight. I have never been an athlete, and definately not a runner. I started the c25k program last summer, but living in Southern California, the heat killed me, and I quit. I had already signed up for a 5k mud run this past September, and it kicked my butt! But, it also made me realize how out of shape I am, and how badly I want to be in shape. SO... now that the weather has started cooling off, I thought I'd give it another go!

Anyone want to start it with me next week? I'm shooting form a M-W-F training schedule, but since my work schedule varies, it might move around a little bit.

Also, anyone who knows of any easy hikes or trails in Southern California, I'm definately open to suggestions to keep it fun!

Starting C25k this weekend 10/24 or 10/25/09. Anyone want to join me?

Hi,

I'm looking to start the C25k program this weekend. I'd love to have others participate with me. I tried running on my own before and gave up. I'm hoping this time I can stick with it, especially if I've got others doing it with me. Anyone interested in starting with me or who has just recently started/getting ready to?
