Hi everyone, I have always wanted to run and I am doing it by following this program..

Couch to 5k Conservative Run Program

I wanted to share this with everyone.. I would love to know if anyone of you are up for doing this. I am up to running 10 walking 20.. If i can do it anyone can! I am 300 lbs and I can do it.. Running will help burn alot of calories also! anyway let me know if your up for it we can support each other!!!:thumbup:

I have so wanted to do this!

Lets do it! If I can you can!:thumbup:

I started running about a month ago. It was a struggle to go about a 1/4 of a mile. One day I decided to try and push myself to a half of a mile. Anyways, once i got to half a mile I felt like Forrest Gump. I just kept running until I hit 2.5 miles. I had an immediate breakdown and cried when I got off the treadmill. I walked outta the gym and said F$$$ Yeah I can do this! :thumbup: If I can anyone can! Good luck!

wow this has always been my goal..when ppl ask me my goal weight i give some bs #...secretly i want to jog/run but my boobs hurt.

what do you do about them? do you have big boobs sorry if this sounds stupid but i have huge giggly ones and they HURT! any suggestions?

I do have bb I just wear a tight sports bra..

Hi Guys! I love Couch to 5K. I started it 2 weeks ago. Tomorrow starts my 3rd week and I up my running even higher. My goal has always been to run a 5K but never knew how to train. I've become so addicted that instead of the 20 minutes they tell you to do, I never do less than 30 and sometimes up to 50. And I've been doing it 5 days a week, not 3. It's been the BEST challenge. Don't get me wrong, I still HATE running, but I hate it a little less each day. :thumbup:

And to answer the big boob question.... I have huge ones, as most of us do here. And I wear 2 sports bras and one tank top with a bra in it. I am completely strapped in! And it helps, but I still feel tons of pressure on my chest. I can't wait till I can wear just one bra! Oh happy day....

Are you doing the 5 month or 7 month program??????????? I was told you need to have the off days to rest your muscles...

I sadly have NO boobs left:( but I plan on purchasing some towards goal;)

I'm doing the online plan. It's 2 months. 8 weeks. I don't know what you are talking about with 5 or 7 months. That's a looong time to train for a 5K. Maybe it's something different. I'm doing 5 days a week right now because I am still doing more walking than running. My body feels great! And it gets easier everyday....

Yes it must be different .... do you have the link? My program is a 7 month program..

and what one are you doing?

I did this back in August and September. It really kicked up my weight loss! But--I still don't like running. Do it...it does wonders for your self esteem, especially if you are like me and never could run even for a minute! Good Luck.

and what one are you doing?

Cool Running :: The Couch-to-5K Running Plan

Scroll down and the plan is there.... it's 8 weeks with 3 variations to choose. I'm starting week 3 tomorrow, so tomorrow I'll be doing this:

5 min warm up walk, then 2 repetitions of:

Jog 90 seconds, Walk 90 seconds

Jog 3 minutes, Walk 3 minutes

Then cool down walk for 5 minutes

I don't really go by the length of time they tell me, If I can do more, i do more. It should be 20 minutes but I haven't done less than 30 yet. I'm really trying to push myself.

It's definitely been getting easier, but I still hate running. My goal has been to fun a 5K with my friends (and not just hold up signs for them at the end of the race like I usually do- soooo embarrassing) It may take me longer than everyone, but I will DO IT!!
