I started c25k in October 2018. It's the best exercise I've ever did and I'm still doing. It shows that if you've got the right plan in place . Running if done properly can actually be addictive and you actually look forward to running . Great for physical and mental health

Running helps me to clear my mind. It's great stress relief.

I recently started running a bit more, when I started I was doing only a block (literally one block) and was 222 lbs today im celebrating 20 pounds off my body (202.6lbs) and the ability to run up to 5 miles!!! Guys I’m so hype and yes it changes your mood and just about everything.. For those that have just started, don’t worry if you only run a block (like me) just keep it up! There’ll be pain on the feet, a couple of injuries and you’re going to have to rest it off for a week or so but don’t quit and keep it up, don’t stop, it gets better I promise!

There goes my neighbor running down the road...93 years old and swears by it..so he's got me into it and it's amazing!!

I‘ve learned to accept pain after running. 😁🏃🏽‍♀️

When I tell non runners I'm somewhat addicted to running and they look at me funny..😂👌🏻

I’m the opposite of hungry, after my training sessions on the track I don’t want anything to eat for about 2 hours normally

I havnt ran in 10 years after my knee surgery. But 2 months ago I had my first run. I was so out of shape and struggling running up a simple hill but it felt amazing. I'm going to do it again haha

Thanks guys, I've just done my second run, I just want to keep running, now I get what people are saying it being addictive, so happy to have started running

I've noticed they always say in these videos something like "Only 10 miles a week." To a new runner, that's a lot!! In fact if you're doing the couch to 5k it might take you a long time to get to that.

I'm 40 and recovering from two broken disks in my neck. I'd say easy does it. I started with good pace run for five minutes. Then walk for two then run again for 3. Keep doing this till you build up a good pace

I call what I do wogging, Walking and jogging at same time, Make sure you are flexible on your ankles.

I like how you guys go into detail, never knew there was so much science behind running. 🏃👍

I clicked because I thought Roger Federer had put on weight

Love your page, watch your videos religiously since Covid began (picked up my running significantly to de-stress) and have learned so much. All that said, Rick channelling Rowan Atkinson while devouring a Kit Kat at 2:04 made me laugh out loud! Thank you for the fun during these maddening times.

nails going black and dropping off is not something to “kick on” with. It’s not normal!!! It’s best to make sure you keep all your toe nails trimmed short and well shaped so they don’t impact or rub on other toes or your shoes when you run.

This is such a great Video for new runners. Well done!

The way I dealt with shin splints was to jog very slowly for a day or two till they went away. For plantar-type pain Ibuprofen 200 mg. tablets are amazing, and inexpensive. The tablets are far better than the cream or ointment.

[vedantparwal]

Thanks for all your content. When I started running I did it with no knowledge and I began running everyday == Terrible Shin Splints. Now I know to build it up gradually!

I've noticed a change in my stomach, it's flatter than it was despite me not losing much weight.
