First run after years of depression.

After years of overeating, binge drinking and smoking pot, I finally cleaned up my act. I used to weigh around 117kgs at my heaviest. A terrible depressive episode made me lose my appetite and come down to a 101 kgs. I guess it was a blessing in disguise?

I know it’s just half a km but it felt like an achievement to me. I plan on doing a C25K - I will run and do light weight training on alternate days. Does that sound like a good idea for a beginner like me?

How do I start?

I am a complete beginner to running. I started doing some 1-1.5 min sprints between walks on the treadmill at my gym. I recently discovered C25k and I want to start this program. However, I don’t see any resources or roadmap on this sub. How do I start? How much do I run each day?

Thanks!
