WOW, I thought I was crazy to even consider taking up running for the very first time in my life....at age 51. I see that I'm far from being alone. After reading a couple of pages in this thread, the wife and I start the C25K tomorrow!
We recently returned to the gym after moving earlier this year and I have already set a short term goal for myself. To loose 20 to 30 pounds and being able to run 1.5 miles in 15 minutes. A friend of mine recommended the C25K program today and I found this site. Right now my best time at the 1.5 mile is 27 minutes, so I have some work to do. I've never been a runner before but I realised this past week that I cannot meet my goal without running. I was already planning to modify my workout routine to include some running and this plan looks like what I was already thinking about. There's no better time then the present to start! And like Judi811 above said....I HATE RUNNING!
