    W2D2 complete!

    Today was a little harder due to the wind but still managed. It was funnny on my last set to run for 1.5mins I really had to push myself to run it all and then when I was doing my 5 min cool down walk I felt like running a bit more so I did! lol

    Well hope everyone has a good day!

    Hi, I hope everybody is doing well!

    I completed week 2 today. I felt fine, but during the last weeks my left knee has been hurting. Everytime it happens it's just for a moment, then it's gone. There seem to be special movements like squats and lunges that trigger the pain (and most times I avoid them), but today it also happened when I got of the treadmill. I really won't give up C25K, I hope I can keep doing this. Most doctors here tell you that as a severely overweight person you should rather walk than run, but I wanted to do it so badly...I just hope my body gets used to it.

    Is anybody else having joints problems? How are you dealing with it?

    Hi all,

    I managed to complete Week 6 Day 1. It was so tough because it was the first time I did outside rather than the gym's treadmill. It certainly was a struggle and slightly discouraging because I got tired more easily during it.

    Now I'm starting to think, can I really achieve 5K when I'm getting out of breath halfway through and with my ongoing high blood pressure?? :cry:

    I'm finding it really difficult....

    w2 d1 complete. it is MUCH easier to run indoors. today i ran the track at a local park that is pretty flat but there are a few inclines and then add in other people to dodge..... but somehow i made it :)

    Ok...I haven't done a thing this week. MN here and get tired easily. So, I will push myself to and get a run/walk in before the Saints game kickoff!

    Gotta have a goal! :-)

    I'm here..been busy. I officiated a triathlon last Sunday...made me want to get back to riding my bike. So today I had a day off and went to the lakes and rode for about 40 mins. It was nice. The weather is starting to cooperate. I hope to incorporate the run walk one day and the bike the next.

    How is everyone doing?

    I did Week 4 Day 1 on Monday; i am on a treadmill and Walk at 4.5 and Run at 7.5 normally but for Monday I did 4.0 and 7.0

    I will try and do 4.5 and 7.5 in the morning.

    Looks like Week 4 will be a repeat week for me.

    I am going to do week 4 day 3 in the morning. I plan to repeat week 4 next week as I did not do as well as I wanted on this week.

    I lied! :)

    I told myself not to punk out and go on to week 5 day 1 and I did and completed it this morning. I actually did better than I thought I would.

    I plan to hit my first real 5k road race on 11/13

    Good job! I completed week 3 day 2 last night. I struggled a little bc I was jogging the indoor track at the YMCA and it was crowded. That kind of messes up my concentration.
