No time for a "proper" run today- things to do, people to see etc so I tried to blast a 5k as quick as I could instead of doing my normal route 10k at a steady pace.
Pretty knackered at the end, but felt good to run hard rather than to chase the mileage as I have been.
547+5(.2) = 552.
I then had a whole day of taking my kids around a fun day and my fitbit says I've walked 22,000 steps today. I'm now in bed with a cup of tea
195k for the year now.

I completed it, but I really had to kick my arse to get it done. One of the main things that keeps me going is the success that the rest of you guys are having: at one point I felt a bit ashamed for whining at myself as you guys have done so much more.
TL:DR - I'll get there but it's going to take attitude.

I don't think the schedule of C25K is perfect.
Running is part mind over matter but also part pure fitness.
There will be times where you have to grit your teeth to get through it, other times you will be able to just rely on fitness, which is something you are building now.
The good thing about building fitness is it is easier to maintain than it is to improve.
So you are doing the hard stuff now but it will get easier.
Also, once you lose the weight require less work to maintain a healthy weight than it did to lose the weight.
Keep going.

Maybe we need a health and fitness sub-forum? Lol
I don't run (knackers my knees), but I went for a 60 mile cycle today (out to a big local climb and back), it was a headway most of the way down, my legs didn't feel great to begin with, and I bonked horrendously on the way back at about 45 miles.
I'd been making decent pace (average 18mph despite the headwind), but had to stop for 25 minutes (could barely turn an easy gear and brain wasn't working so would have likely crashed had I tried to continue), and it took me an hour and a half to do the remaining 15 miles, even with a tailwind for half of it!
Most unpleasant thing I've done in a while.
Fortunately I had a little food left over to get me home.
I'm not sure how it happened, I can usually manage 75-85 miles on the same calorie intake. Glycogen levels must have been low from too much beer at the weekend.. (I'm led to believe it inhibits fat use as an energy source as well)
My solution is to slow down slightly, grit my teeth and keep going.

Feels good to be under 28 minutes.
Sounds exactly like what happened.
