Last year I completed #C25k and was running 3 times a week until I just stopped in September,I don't know why.
I've been meaning to start again but for me, the biggest hurdle is always the initial start, like climbing a huge vertical hill. After that, I wonder why I didn't start earlier!
Today I started all over again. I was stupid enough to think I could pick up where I left off but body said no.
Downloaded the brilliant C25K/BBC app, started Week 1 Run 1 and started walking.
@MarvinFreeman @andythomas I found #running a lot more effective at reducing weight, simply through being a much more efficient way of being able to sustain long periods of zone 4 heart rates than is possible through cycling. I cycled for years and had to watch my weight all the time, never getting below 15stone (210lb). After doing #C25k and getting into endurance running, my weights steady at 12.5stone (175lb). BP is lower too, as is resting heart rate and therefore VO2 max is increased.
@christhompsonex well done for going from #C25K to #ultramarathon - I did 3 this year for the first time, and did #C25K back in 2018. Which #Ultras are you doing?
Yet more! #introduction In addition to being a #librarian, I worked as a #bookseller for a number of years. I also sporadically write book and graphic novel reviews for various sites. I read widely and usually juggle at least five books. I have a book problem. (I'm on track to finish about 80 books this year.)
I also play video games (mainly #Zelda and #AnimalCrossing), walk everywhere and I'm planning doing #C25K soon-ish. Vaguely soonish.

@rleyton local 5mile race tomorrow http://www.frostbiteleague.org.uk/ - nice event with a few hundred other runners from several local clubs. Main focus for me though is #ultramarathons. Have come a long way from #C25K a few years ago.
Terminei o #C25k . Enfim voltei ao nível de aptidão física que eu tinha alcançado antes da pandemia.
Agora posso voltar ao sedentarismo!
Hoje foi dureza, tem dia que parece que o corpo não quer correr, mas consegui. #C25k
Não acordei cedo pra correr, mas considerando que é feriadão, considero ter feito minha corrida antes do meio-dia uma vitória. #C25k
