I Want to Run !

[SWRocks!]

Hya guys, I have always envied people who can run and would to make my dream into a reality. However at 16.5 stone i think even the couch to 5k would be too much. Has anyone got any tips etc

i'm 17 stone and i've started the c25k this morning, i must admit i didn't do the whole 30 mins but i did warm up on the xtrainer for 10 mins and cool down on the bike for 10 mins after, next week i will start it properly. Just watch your knees! and noisy treadmills, i had two this morning - dunno if it's just my size but the big guy on the other one wasn't making a noise :/

Thank you for your reply, i cant decide whether to get a new dvd and do lots of walking before i attempt to run

Dont be scared of it!!! The walk/run alternaton is way better for preparing you to run than keep fit dvds or walking. You sound eager to get going so go for it!! As the famous sports brand succinctly say "just do it"

whats the worst that could happen?
