Some interesting posts to read through this morning, keep going everyone
Today I completed week three of C25k. Quite apprehensive about Week 4 as I’ll go from 9 to 18 minutes of running which seems a huge jump in two days I’m determined to keep moving though. Trying to trust the process.. anyone already done this and got any advice for managing the step up?
Agreed, I just couldn't face run 3 in week 5, it's the 1st proper run with no walk in the middle so I skipped to week 6 and did that twice and then at the end of the 2nd week 6 I ran my 5k at parkrun (slowly), it's all about the end goal and tweaking the programme to make sure that you can run 5k whether it be 7 weeks after you started or 12 weeks. Just pace yourself. I used to do my couch to 5k to Costa (about 4k) and have a coffee as a reward.You'll be surprised at how much more you can run than you think! But if it's too much, do not worry or mark it as a 'fail', it just means you need to keep trying it till it starts to feel good. I think one of the best things in C25K is repeating the weeks you're not happy with, because when you do you're elated and that i really did it kicks in!
I think general walking places instead of using the car is underrated. I now question whether I need to drive or could I walk and 9 times out of 10 I can walk.Walking is a secret weapon of mine! Brisk walking is a guaranteed method of fat burning, you only have to ask our Leslie
1200 wouldn’t be your TDEE, never ever that’s more likely to be your BMR!Yea that’s said 1200 was my TDEE! I still am managing 3 good meals a day and a snack and get to 1200 and feel fine so far
Love this tip, thanks for sharing. I’ve just changed mine to the same Logging a few days a week is better than nothing! Once I get to maintenance I might do the same.Had a good chat with my PT. he’s got me to change mfp macros page to weekly view. It’s gives a nice overview to how much I’ve logged over the week.
Amazing Carrie!!! Well done so inspiringWeek 25: -2 lbs

Thanks lovely! Feel lucky to have found this thread.Amazing Carrie!!! Well done so inspiring
I started out much bigger, hence the initial quick losses! You are doing fab, your persistence is equally inspiring.Thats amazing huge well done .
Inspiration for us.
Think I'm now in week 12 and still only 10lb lost.
Don't get scales at all varies from 12 9 to 12 12 all in 24 to 48 hours.
I have written off last week and thought I probably gained but managed walk 10k most days and in reality probably ate maintainance calories or close to.
I just wish could have few better weeks where I lose 2lb or 3lb.
3 weeks until we go away.
Amazing! Well doneWeek 25: -2 lbs

Well done, it's all in the pacing. I did couch to 5k 2 years ago, coming up to my 2 year anniversary for my actual 5k I still use the programme as it's useful to get my speed up, I'm a bit of a 1 pace woman although I can run 10-12k now, I'd just like to speed up a bitI did it guys! Week 4 Run 1 of C25K.. two three and two five minute runs. Kept it slow and didn’t find it too bad actually - glad it’s a bit cooler! Thanks for all your advice I am heading to slob out in the bath now
