I started running in 2008 after 20 years without active sports, being seriously overweight and out of shape. I followed Bernards' adapted "start to run" program for half a year and can now run 10 kilometers non-stop. I am noticeably in better shape and lost over 10 kilo's without drastically adapting the rest of my lifestyle, just taking some of Bernards' advice on food and running regularly. I try to run 3 times a week now and it gives me energy and a sense of achievement. I have discovered that anyone can do this. I was over 40 years old and 124 kilo's when I started. All you need to do is be consistent, keep up the excercise and believe you can do it.
