So..... running

Took me ages to work out what C25K was, I kept thinking Matt was trying to run 25k.

If you can find a cheap place to swim that's meant to be good too, the price puts me off too though, £3.20 for an hour or £25/month.

Try running reallyslowly? I started (as most others have) with the walk/run thing. Been doing it months and months before Kate said just go really slow and managed to jog the whole lot (albeit extremely slowly :P). You'd be suprised how fast a very slow jog can feel especially early in, 12 min miles are perfectly fine and will feel like you're almost walking.

Most important thing especially if you have knee problems is taking it slowly though, nothing wrong with that at all. You're still fitter than 90% of the population!
