If I remember rightly aren't you near Manchester?Sorry for the thread resurrection but I have just downloaded the c25k app and intend to give it a go soon.
A friend of mine is quite far into hers and has recommended it to me, I feel like I need to lose a few more kg before starting mine though.
Having never been a runner, but attempted and failed a few times over the years I don't know how far I'll get but will give it a go
Just need to get some half decent running shoes now.
If you are then there's a few good shops around depending on whether you're north or south of town.
