Hey everyone, I'm currently on Week 1 of the C25K program. If you don't know what it is, it's an app you can download that basically trains you to run 5Km in 2 months I think lol.
Anyways, is anyone else doing it rn?

I started yesterday. Week 1 run 2 tomorrow.1

I did Week 2 Day 2 today! 2.1 was tough but today was no sweat!1
-
I just did Week 2 Day 1 today. So far so good! I have never been a runner, so the idea of working towards being able to run 5K is pretty exciting right now.1

I did Week 1 Day 2 yesterday right after my 1 hour workout and I'm sooooo sore.0

I completed it last month! I love it - it's changed my life!
Congrats on starting it, and enjoy it!1 -
I finished it on Wednesday. Although I wasn't able to do a 5K in the time provided by the app, I did an actual 5K in week 8 and I was able to run the entire race. I'm going to start a 5K to 10K program next week. It's a great program.4

W5D3 for me today.1

Today was Week 2 Day 2 for me! I've run 5km nonstop precisely once in my life and I'm super amped to train to make it a regular thing!!2

W3D2!1

I just finished week 3! I feel I am doing MUCH better than I thought I would be at this point! I will be repeating week 3 though, started it with a friend and she missed this week due to unforeseen circumstances. Either way we are KILLING it!!4

Wk6D1 for me! I had hip surgery end October so am building up slowly.. I was previously regularly running 5-7 miles but I don't expect to get back to those distances until the end of this year ☺️1

W4, D3. Still lumbering, but still doing it.
The last one I did at night, and boy, was that a game changer. It was 69 degrees For, not 90-95, no blazing sun, no traffic, no noise. Me, my breathing, and my footsteps.
It was Nike-commercial motivating. Best one yet. If you are somewhere hottish and have that option, you may find out it is daytime, not you, that is slowing you down.
I may need some mace and a headlamp.8 -
One more: I just did W4, D3, then sat on the couch (C25K is not just a clever name) to suck down some water and enjoy the air-conditioning.
I was still sweaty but figured it had to be minimal, and that my seat on the edge of the couch meant I wasn't ruining it.
I'm, yeah, then I looked down to the big puddle of sweat on the wood floor. It was dripping off my head so profusely, I had a flipping puddle.
You know what though? That is a puddle of effort. Gross, but effort.8 -
I'm 57 years old, and today I'll be doing Day 1 of Week 2. I'm pretty proud that I've started. The app is great. So are my new running shoes, which are a huge improvement over my one-year-old shoes. I'm motivated to finish this program!4

W6D1 this morning, plus about 10 minutes of extra walking added at the end.
Plenty of time today, and I hate making my turnaround in the middle of a run leg, so didn't turn around until after the 8 minute run. Except I hit the end immediately after meeting the only other pedestrians I'd seen this morning, walking in the other direction. Didn't want to turn around and be right behind them, so walked another minute first. They were also doing a walk / run combination, so were actually quite far in front of me at that point.
Vacation next week, so I will run again on the 19th or 20th, depending on how late we get home on the 18th.1
