I know what you mean, it seems like forever when you start jogging it. When the little voice comes on saying "You are half way" it has to be a lie, that was least 10 minutes!!!
Let me know when we are starting week 4 and we can push through it together.1 -
Im restarting Monday, it's always Monday isn't it lol. Finishing Friday still.1
-
Good luck to you both. It's definitely a challenge, but you can do it!2

Not sure if this helps but for me I tried not to look at the time but instead count songs. Most songs are 3 minutes long. It helped me to know I just need to finish “one more song”. I also slowed my pace a lot to make sure I wouldn’t wear out.3

Even at 2.5 MPH (walking is 2.0) im still struggling but hopefully next week will be better.3

Hugs to those struggling - you can do it! I've been at this since March and am still only on week 6 - had to restart twice due to injuries and redone several days and weeks as needed. It is getting easier but it has taken some doing. W6D2 done - will attempt the 22m run on Sunday - we're going to be travelling for most of the next couple of days3
-
W7R1 done! I had a 2 week break, was a little burnt out but so glad I did it! It was hard work but definitely do-able. Week 6 got me ready for week 7. In fact, I doubted I could finish it but found it easier then expected. So to all of you out there, you can do it too!4

Together we are an unstoppable force!1

I am loving C25K despite the momentary struggle that is moving those legs quicker, especially on any sort of incline. Still it was nice to actually walk to the station this morning. 3.1 miles in 40:23 (4.6 mph) to get the heart going and keep me warmed up for Wk4 on Monday. A beautiful day for it!2

W4D3, not as bad today. Monday will be better!3
-
You know those day, it is in your diary, alarm goes off, clothes already laid out, and you just don't fancy it?
That was me this morning, and then I had my best C25K session yet.
However you think you feel, go for it - you never know how it will turn out!4 -
I am glad to see everyone is still at it. I am on WK6D3. We've had lots of bad weather and it slowed me down but I'm planning to finish. Good luck to everyone!!4

W4D1,doing a bit better3

I attempted W5D3 on Saturday morning. We had overnight storms and it was so humid it felt like I was breathing underwater. I only managed to run for about 15 minutes before I had to take a walk break. Then I got another couple of minutes of running in before the cool down. I'm going to repeat week 5 this week, the weather isn't looking much better - hot and humid all week, but I'm determined to run for the whole 20 minutes!3
-
Repeating day 1 today and 2 miles in the app switches off - so delighted, not3
-
I had not run since last Wednesday, busy weekend supporting the American Diabetes Association Tour deCure event. (I volunteer and ride!)
Yesterday, I ran w5d1. It was 3 half mile intervals with 1/4 mile walks in between. I felt good, despite the high heat and humidity.
Week 5 Day 14 -
Did W6D3 last Saturday and W7D1 today - sorely needed to use up some of the extra holiday calories we've been getting!4
-
Struggling for time this week. Day 1 the app let me down and today should be day 2 however it is signup day for 'Man v Fat Football' which I need to cycle to. I will have to catch up doing Thu, Sat early, Sun late and then probably Tues, Thu, Sat the following week.2
-
W4D2, about the same as Monday but I'm surprisingly not as out of breath as before!3
-
W7R2 done! Also find I'm less out of breath and very slowly increasing my distance. Still hard work but feels good!4
-
I did w5d2 after work yesterday. It sucked. I had to stop twice to stretch my calves. I will be repeating this one- 2 runs of 3/4 miles with a half mile walk in the middle.3

No, I don't. I think the problem was the course was an out and back, slightly uphill out. My calves were fine on the downhill coming back.2 -
Not the best week, moving on...2

Back to it yesterday, not a terrible jalk, bit of an upper thigh strain after sitting down in the afternoon. As my wife and daughter went on bikes I ended up doing 3 miles for C25K and then, after a stop for a light lunch, nearly 2 miles back again at the same pace.3

W5D1, the 5 minute run was much easier then last week!3
It was 25+ minutes for me since I'm doing the distance version! This discussion has been closed.
