Hi
I am 18 and half stone. I have not completed it yet but have started it. The one thing I would say is as you have the tracks playing and someone talking to you telling you when to walk and jog the time goes far quicker than trying to just walk or run on a treadmill by yourself - I get really bored in the gym but the time goes much quicker.
Also, even if you are struggling with the running sections this gets easier with time but even 30 mins of power walking is a great achievement so if you cant do it fully straight away that doesnt matter, you can just set the treadmill to a pace that suits you and start pushing yourself as you feel comfortable.
Good luck with it
I think if you look on the website someone has converted the sessions so they achievable on a treadmill.
im doing my c25k on a treadmill, then once i can do it, il take to the streets and see how i get on

I will be doing my C25K on a treadmill, easier to follow for now I think! Haven't officely started it yet but i've been doing some jogging here and there so hopefully shouldn't struggle too much... Can jog for 10-15 mins already but anything after that and I really do struggle!
P.S sarah I really like all your exercise goals in your signature, I might have to copy you there!!! Good inspiration!

im doing my prep for 5k runs on a 10k programme, more than i need to but its getting me prepped for a 10k run in a few weeks time too. im thinking that if i can do 10k, then a 5k wont be bad at all. managed the full 5k on the treadmill and it wasnt as tough as expected. was out of breate but no jelly legs after it
might have dripped laods of sweat over the treadmill though haha, was quite gross. i wont be wearing a cotton shirt next time.... lesson learned
mines all treadmill too
