Hey MFP tomorrow im going to be starting C25K, and was wondering if their was anyone out there wanting to start it with me? The program is 3 times a week for 9 weeks and it said its best to take a day off in between work outs so im going to try to do it Mon, Wed, Fri. If your interested let me know, i could always use the support.

    I'm in! I was planning on starting tommorrow anyway and I am also going to aim to do mon, wed, fri.

    I am actually going today to buy a treadmill so that if the weather is crappy (like it has been all year so far)I won't have to skip a workout.

    I want to do the 5k breast cancer run/walk on oct 3rd in my city so that is my motivation.

    I'll do it!! I've been doing the 30 day shred but I've been thinking about adding in the c25k. I just have to make sure I get up really early in the morning or it will be way too hot to run thanks to the extra humid Florida summer we're having down here.

    i've always been very self conscious about running, but was planning on starting tonight (running in the dark, woo), but i see the hardest bit as getting out of the door and starting

    hope it works out for myself and everyone else :)

    Does anyone know if there is a blackberry app for the C25K so my phone would beep when I have to switch from walk/ run.

    I am in the last week of Get Runnings C25K program for the iPhone and let me tell you that it really works! On June 12, we will RUN our first 5K race thanks to C25K. The first couple of weeks were a huge struggle where I gasped for air just running in 60 sec increments but now I can actually run for 30 min at a time with a below 11 min pace average! Go for it and DON'T GIVE UP!!

    I love this program, I literally went from never running in my life to following this program and I ran my first half marathon in Oct. 2008. Life got in the way, so I haven't run consistently for about a year and would love to re-start the program.

    I did my program today and it was really quite easy. I did a bit of a cool down too so I did 19 minutes of walking total and 6 minutes of running.

    anyone else do it today?

    I am on week 2 right now. hope to get this program completed as I am wanting to do a 5k this fall. go at your own pace and take your time. some folks have to do weeks over until they feel comfortable moving to the next level/week.....and that is OK! don't want anyone getting injured...so advance with caution. Good luck folks! you can do it! :smile:
