2/1 - Week One

My sister-in-law and I are starting C25K next week and I'm wondering if anyone is starting the same time to keep eachother on track.
This is my SIL's first time doing C25K and my second time. I finished the first time 3 years ago and got up to running 10k nonstop (slowly lol). Looking forward to getting back out on the roads (and for the weather to warm up)!

Congrats on starting again! There is a whole group of us on 1/27 start up discussion. I have only did day 1 and will be doing day 2 tonight. Feel free to join in on our thread for some support and encouragment!0

I'm currently debating starting on 2/1, a Sunday, or 2/2, a Monday. I know it's sort-of silly, but to do the program every other day, it kind of effects my entire schedule. I'm slated to do my walking tomorrow...so I'll have to decide pronto.0

Hi Lyssa! As C25K is a 3x/week program, my first running day will actually be Monday. It's just easier to count the weeks starting Sunday
Either way you decide, hope you stick around! 0 -
Indeed, jkeyes. It looks like I'll be starting on Monday, as I'm still dickering with choosing a run tracker. My dear husband hooked me up with a new phone, so I have oodles of options...perhaps too many. I mean, I know I'll be using the C25k app, so it can tell me walk/jog (I don't run, per se) but I'd still like the additional tracker.
I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to send a 'friend request' seeing as we're going to be hangin' together.

I'll be starting Monday as well. I actually w1d1 on Thursday when I discovered c25k, But I decided to start over on a new week to make tracking easier.0

Welcome aboard, Joe!0

Did someone say warm weather0

Starting today!0

Today was postponed for me by a killer migraine.
Usually, within 24hrs I am able to resume life, so I'm hopeful for tomorrow. 0 -
So I ended up doing W1D1 on Sunday due to the snow storm that came through New England yesterday.
Lyssa, personally I like mapmyrun for GPS tracking. I'm sure there are better paid applications out there but for what I need it works plus it's free.
Planning to do D2 today assuming the weather cooperates!

jkeyes, roger that on the mapmyrun...that's the one I dl'd besides the C25k app. I know I'm going to need my cell telling me "walk now...run now" 0

I go through so much data/battery on my phone with each run. Gotta have my Pandora to rock out to, MapMyRun to track my progress, and C25K Free to keep my eyes on the road and not at the clock.

Jennifer...I'm a total dork and didn't realize that the MapMyRun didn't engage. I'll blame it on my lack of training with the new cell phone. Ah well. I did the run/walk at least!
But oh my goodness is there ever a difference between the fast-paced walking I'd been doing, compared to the jogging today! Even at a "slow pace" I'm like, "Oh ow, yeah, now I remember why I don't do this!" Kind of makes me wish we had a soft dirt road to run on...but down here it'd be that horrid red clay that destroys shoes. 0 -

I admit I forgot to turn on MapMyRun until about 1/3 of the way through my workout on Sunday. So it now says I went 1.45 mi instead of probably closer to 1.9. Oh well, as you said all that matters was that it was done. 0 -
Oh hey...a "funny" thing happened when the app voiced "You have reached the half-way point" or whatever she said...I (loudly) proclaimed, "Oh Crap!" ~chuckles~ Luckily, there weren't a whole lot of neighbors outside at the time. 0

Day 2 was yesterday. Brought my dog along for the run. It was cold! 17*F! Also my phone died right after I started the cooldown. Maybe one of these times my phone will record my whole workout.0

Anyone else still here besides me and Lyssa??????????0

Date fixed threads quite regularly fizzle out as people start to deviate from the plan, struggle and/ or lose interest or injure themselves.
The Daily Check in thread has the critical mass to keep going, and with people at different stages the motivation can help a lot more.0 -
Roger that, Meandering...thank you for the heads-up.0

Jennifer, I'm *so not missing* the cold like that (born & raise in SW Michigan.) I whine with the 38 we got here...for North Florida, that's cold! Good luck with the phone charging...I still have to go through the tutorials for mine. ~sigh~ I dislike being a 'dumb user' with a 'smart phone.'

Thanks for the heads up MM! Maybe everyone is too busy running to come check the message boards

Anyone get to D3 yet? Going dancing tonight so D3 for me will be tomorrow.0

So excited to find this thread! I just started C25K also - just completed D2 tonight. I was surprised how much better I felt doing D2 than D1... If it gets that much easier every time, I'm set! I think it was just that I knew what to expect and knew I could do it. Started VERY slow, but at least we're doing it, right?!0

Welcome Munch! You're one step closer!!0 -
Ok so hubby didn't feel well enough to go dancing tonight so I went for a night run instead. I remembered to bundle up a little more this time and my phone cooperated the entire time! 2.28 miles done! Technically that was D3 for me this week but I actually like 4 run days/week better than 3 so I'll probably do D3 over again on Saturday.0

Congrats to Munch for D2...and Jennifer for D3! I was supposed to do D2 today, but alas, the shot I got yesterday afternoon killed my left arm. I know...I know...I don't need my arm to run, but I do need to not be in absolute (wimpy) pain to run effectively.
So, all that being said, I'm just going to do D1 again tomorrow...and start anew on Monday with D1 as well. I hope it's still okay to cheer y'all on though ('cause I'm going to even if it's sort-of weird...heh. ) 0
