Couch to 5K for 300+?

  • Has anyone done the c25k at such a high weight?
  • Ive never heard of it .. what is it???

    (Guess you can tell I have never done it rofl)
  • it is so weird that you brought that up. i was just looking at the info for the upcoming baltimore marathon and i was thinking about training for the 5k next year (oct. 2007). i went to the coolrunning.com page about 5k training to do some research. i think i might start out walking for a couple of months... i've been going to the gym everyday and doing about 60 minutes of cardio, but i still don't think i am ready to run/jog. how long before you plan on doing your 5k? i'm sure you could come up with a way to ease you into it better. that's what i am going to do. i can only run for a minute or so at a time then i need to walk 2 minutes until i can run again.
  • I dont run ... get tired of the black eyes!! ROFL ... actually I refuse to run anyway ... its not good on my joints or repaired bones ... but would love to do one of those walk marathon thingys ... that may be a goal for next year ... or so

    Good luck on your goal tho!
