W1D5 done
ran by the river Avon as currently on a short campervanning holiday 2 -
Still very congested but sick of being on the sidelines, going to plan to try week 4 day 1 in the morning, unless I wake up worse..... think that's a good place to start back after a couple of weeks off. Let's see!2

Week 7 D2 done. I just about finished it.
W7 D2 was 20 mins running and W7 D3 is going to be 25 mins running. That's a big jump! I am going to aim to complete it but if I don't I will call it a repeat of W7 D2.
By the end of W8 I am supposed to be running for 35 mins. It seems like I might have to take it a little slower than that. But I will get there!

You're doing amazingly well!1 -
W1D6 - will move up to week 2 tomorrow - well done everyone who's much further on!2

W7 R3 done. The 25 mins was actually fine. It was raining and I think I run better in the rain. I checked my watch only one and I had 21 mins don so I knew I could finish it then. So pleased with myself!
Well done @VanVanDiane. Good luck with week 2.3 -
Nice going @pratainua w2d1 done for me 3
-
W2D2 done... my other half is way ahead of me on week 4 now, but we're persevering!2
-
Great job! Keep at it!1

Great job @VanVanDiane. You are doing great! 5 sessions done already.1

W2D3 in the bag 3

W2D4 done today - is anyone else left doing this? 🙂2

I’m lurking. I started in February and already finished. I keep watching this thread for your updates and it keeps me motivated to keep up my running.2

My body was achy and my knees and hips were hurting. Then during the podcast for week 3 the narrator told me to imagine I was running along a hedge. Someone on the other side of the hedge seeing only my head shouldn’t be able to tell if I am running or walking. This was a game changer for me. I slowed my pace significantly and my recovery days are much better now. All that to say... run slower
Thank you. That was very helpful1 -
W8 D1 done twice. I restarted the wrong day yesterday and as I have all the in between notifications turned off I didn't notice until I had finished. Ah well. I should be well prepared for W8 D2.
Keep going @VanVanDiane. You are doing great.3 -
I always read the updates. I haven't been running at all.

I made that same mistake during week 8

Ditto! Glad there's a few of us left W2D5 done today... 2 -
Hi all, I’m new here but i just completed w1 of the zombie run c25k. Hi everyone!3
-
Sounds like everyone is doing great! I hadn’t run since April 20th. My hip bursitis was flaring up pretty badly, I went on vacation for 5 days, and then I was sick when I got home. I ended up missing the fun run 5k w/ dogs last weekend since I was sick so that was a bummer!!
Anyway! I’m all better now and woke up this AM ready to run. Completed W3D1 which wasn’t bad at all. I liked alternating between the 90 second & 3 min runs. I’m going slow, approx 4.5mph2 -

Hi! I do love the sound of that Zombies app - how is it in practice?1 -
I finished it. I am so proud of myself. I have started and not finished it a few times before but this time I did it. Now I am very slow but I can run for the whole 35 mins straight which I could never have imagined at the start. I couldn't have imagined running for 10 minutes a few weeks ago. So the plan works.
I am going to repeat it until I can do it more comfortably and faster. So happy with myself.
My advice to anyone still completing it is to take it as slow as you need to and to repeat runs as often as you need to and believe that you can do it because you can.

I love that there's a story to follow. I haven't tried other c25k programs so i can't compare it to anything else, but so far it's been good with pacing, links up to my playlists and seems overall to be decent. Truth is, this is my third time trying to get through a program and i've only ever made it to week three before i get sick and fall off the wagon
Third times a charm though! and I have a 5k with work June 2nd - I won't be done with the program by then, but I can walk what I need to 0 -

Whoooop! Congratulations! You're my push to keep going on my restart, well done!1 -
Great that there is some activity in here, determined to be a part of it again!
Week 3 day 2 redone today.... 2 restart runs done and feel like I am truly back!3 -

Congratulations! I’m interested to hear what you do from here. I found the NHS podcasts designed for after c25k a little bit too tough and I couldn’t stay motivated to continue them. So I joined a Runbet game to keep me running for now. I’m enjoying it so far. I still haven’t done an actual 5k race yet. Maybe soon.

Cleared to run by physiotherapist today, but told to restart the program again as a precaution. Gah! Am I ever going to get this finished?4
