Is the Couch to 5K too much too soon for you?

It was for me !

Here's an alternative that will keep you exercising and help you condition up to C25K

8-week Condition plan by Jeff Galloway 

I did this one walking only first

Then again doing the Jog Segment suggestions

And then did his 5K training plan (Run/Walk) , then his 10K  training plan , then Half Marathon programs too.

(all free online)

I still have never completed C25K and am only on Week #5

But I recently finished a Half Marathon.  (Run/Walk, 5/1 ratio)

Just wanted to share there are other options if Couch to 5K seems a bit strenuous for you at the beginning
