C25K started today !!!
My suggestion - NEVER GIVE UP!!
It's hard as heck - i know. I work out a lot, and I'm probably a little bit too heavy to be running, but I ran one mile the other day in 13:00 min - having been 420 lbs before and couldn't walk 1/8 mile, I can personally tell you that if you keep going, you will improve and be running in no time. I regularly walk/jog several miles and you just build up slowly and surely. Don't push toooo hard and hurt yourself or burn out. I think C25K is a good pace but don't be afraid to repeat weeks if you have to.
I have to give you a big CONGRATS for finishing a tough workout though - awesome!!!

Good for you! It definitely works. I used it to begin running and am set to run my first marathon.
If you have problems early on, just repeat the week. If you are truly starting from a point of no exercise, I would recommend repeating the first few weeks before moving on. But you will be surprised how quickly your body will adjust. Just make the commitment to complete the entire program!!
