I am newer runner. What helped me alot was keeping track of my accomplishments. And every run is an accomplishment.

I have a watch, the inexpensive one with a sensor from Nike, that keeps track of my runs. I do not wear their shoes but ...

It helped to see the miles keep building up.  Keep building, keep walking, jogging and walking.

Hi - I would love to join this support group.  I also have never been a good runner & am starting the C25K for the second time now :)! 

I will be doing my runs on Monday's, Wednesday's and Saturday's....

Hopefully feeling accountable to this group - will keep me motiviated.

Count me in. Starting today Sep 29th. A friend has been doing this program for a few months now and really trying to get me involved as well. She has progressed up to running half marathons and has lost heaps of weight - and looks great!!

I am not planning on the marathons anytime soon, but I do have at least 25 kg to drop and want to look better for my sons wedding next year.

Hi all,

I think I am ahead of you guys over there - I am in OZ.

Just come back from my Day 1 Week 1 run!! WOW!!!

I found the podcast from John Ullrey to be invaluable. It really, really helped. I just concentrated on his encouragement and the music, took my dogs, left my phone at home and I feel terrific. Puffed, sweaty and terribly overweight, but terrific

I am already up to nearly 5000 steps today on my pedometer and it is only just past 9 am.

good luck everyone!!

Where can I find the podcast from John Ullrey?

Jim

Sorry - it is Robert Ullrey. Check out the home page of C25K and scroll down to the podcasts. Click on the link to Robert Ullreys site. He has a podcast for every week of the program. Great idea. I didn't need to look at a watch - just plugged in the ipod and started - shuffled, really.
