You may surprise yourself! Just take it slow and you can push through this one! You are ready for this!kilobykilo wrote: »@Perla4686 I agree with @just_ceci, believe you can, take it easy, and maybe you will! I only graduated from the program last week and still dont quite believe that first 20 min run happened! But, once it did, I knew anything else was possible and have kept on going to train for a 10km. Good luck!
I did it!! I still can't quite believe it!! It was hard work and the last 4 mintutes were a real push and a bit slow but I ran the whole 20 minutes!!!
Thanks for the thumbs up! You gave me the push I needed!
Congrats! The 20 minute run was a mental hurdle yet also a mental game changer for me. I felt empowered once I completed it.

Well done, @Perla4686 !
I completed w1d3 on Friday afternoon. It is so hot here now, but I'm determined. We'll see how my determination holds when I am in Southeast Texas next week with even hotter temps and more humidity!2 -
Thanks everyone!0

I live in Southeast Texas. Drink lots of water. Run slowly. The mornings are cooler than the evenings but I generally run after sunset.

W2D1 went great! I thought it would be harder but it surprisingly wasn't.4

W2D1 went, well it went. It feels really tough whilst I’m doing it and it would be very easy to walk instead. Yet after the cool down I feel like I could run again. I don’t know of that means I am pushing to hard or not hard enough?1

W4D3 completed yesterday - feels ok so on to week 5!3

I was similar. So I guess it's alright. Some weeks felt really though, but then it got easier. I don't think there's a right or wrong way of doing it, as long as it feels alright and challenging but do-able. My understanding is, if you can't finish one, repeat it until you manage to finish it, before moving on to the next one. Good luck!2 -

Well done! Week 5 is challenging, but feels great when you get to the end!
Good luck!3 -
The first few weeks were the toughest for me. Building up endurance was hard. It got easier after week 3TheMrWobbly wrote: »W2D1 went, well it went.

I finished W2D1 last night. It was rough but I did it without having to walk any of the running parts! It will still be awhile before I'll be able to keep up with my son but I'm getting there!4
-
I also did W2D1 yesterday. We had a storm roll through late afternoon and I went out just afterwards, so it was a little cooler than on Friday!4
-
W5D1 done today - was soaked to the skin by the end of it, but it was quite refreshing at first
we were careful to have a completely flat run - ran along North Bay by the sea. A big difference from even the mild hills we normally use that are immediately out of the front door 5 -
@MisshaChan this group just started c25k within the past week or so. You may find it encouraging to join them.1
-
@VanVanDiane congrats on your run!!! I just completed W5D1 today as well.2
-
Congrats @nkolpean - I'm not looking forward to day 3!0
-
W2D2, still doing good! Kinda looking forward to Day 3 on Friday!4
-
You are my motivation @savannahs21, W2D2 done. Slight twitch from landing on the down slope of a sleeping policeman but I will keep you company. Added this into my walk and ended up with 5 miles at 4.8 mph average which was a nice workout.
A runner friend told me my struggle when running was because I wasn't breathing correctly - I breathe in, then out - I was hoping it wasn't much more complicated than that!0 -
Hi I'm new to the group! I've just started this week.
W1R2 completed - I find the second to last running minute the hardest, maybe a mental thing? I feel like I have very little fitness or endurance, but I'm hoping to see this improve.
Well done to everyone else, it's motivating to see everyone doing so well.3 -
Well done everyone! Keep it going! I've taken a few days break as TOM has made an appearance and I'm not feeling too great. I'm hopeful I'll do W6R1 tomorrow! Wish me luck.3
-
I also completed W2D2 yesterday. I am traveling tomorrow, so may not get to run until Saturday.3

Good luck @Perla46861

Thanks!
W6R1 done! Woohoo! I felt like giving up a few times but pushed myself to finish it. Hard work. Feeling good now.4 -
W2D3 - Got it in early this morning as time and temperature are getting oppressive during the day. Felt very tired afterwards though it might be the early morning that did that.3
-
W2D3, feeling good. Im thinking about upping my speed to 3.1 MPH for jogging/running. I have to up my speed very slowly because if i up it too much too fast i know ill quit. Looking forward to Monday!1

I recommend continuing to go slowly. Build endurance first. Going slowly will help you make it through the 20 minute interval in week 5 day 3.savannahs21 wrote: »W2D3, feeling good.

So far my jogging speed is 3.0 MPH. Should i keep it at 3.0?

@emmamcgarity
I wouldn’t worry about miles per hour but focus on how you feel. Keep it at a conversational pace. The mph will be different for each person, and as you build endurance the pace at which you can still hold a conversation will change. I find that the heat and humidity can also affect my pace on a given day.2 -
I find pace a little odd, firstly I don't want to push to hard as I know just how overweight I am. When I am just walking I walk quite quickly and my pace on C25k averages about the same as I jog quicker but walk slower. I guess as the jog stage gets longer that overall pace will quicken though it doesn't matter if it not much as long as my jogging stage gets longer in time which is where I struggle right now.2
