I'm pre op. Down 35 lbs. and I want to love running. I started the c25k program I'm on week 3. I feel like I'm going to die!

Does it ever get easier? Or will I always feel like I'm going to die!!!!!

I feel u and I'm only on week 2!!! Lol

I grew to enjoy running! I never ran or did much athletic when growing up. The c25k is a great program! That is how I started. I completed the whole program and just kept running. I loved to find fun 5k runs to do with my friends and timed runs to challenge myself. eventually I ran 2 10ks and was training for the Spartan Beast run when I got pregnant! Because of how low my little man sits I havent been able run far this pregancy but I can't wait to get back in it.

They are right about shoes though! I ran in crappy shoes and developed tendonitis in my hips. It hurt like hell and took a while to get rid of.

Good luck in your running journey!

Not only does running get a lot easier but now that it is summer, what about swimming? I swim year around but its also easier on the joints and you get an upper body workout also.
