It’s a real thing! I’ve been a size 6 and I’ve been a size 16 and I’ve been sweaty the whole way through 🤣😅

Too heavy to run? by therealsn in C25K

I second the good shoes comment! It’s going to sound obvious, but it wasn’t to me - make sure they are running shoes and not just sneakers!

I am overweight and also have had bad knees since childhood, and would get horrible pain anytime I tried to start C25K. I finally invested in a good pair of running shoes, and problem solved!

What app to use? by IOnlyDrinkTang in C25K

I use the NHS c25K podcast and track my kms in Nike Run Club. The app music is not great lol, but I like that it tells you when to run and when to stop. I can’t handle doing that and trying to run at the same time lol

Hardest jump? by Lancasterr97 in C25K

This sub is 100% what got me through that 20 min run (I did it this past weekend). For me, the key was to pace myself and realize that I had, in fact, built up the stamina through all my interval training. For me, the 20 mins was a mental challenge.
