in Motivation and Support
So, I started C25K last year around March. I did very well with it. Lost several pounds and inches. I also felt in the best shape of my life! I didn't finish it. This year I want to do it, finish it, and run in a 5k this St. Patrick's Day in Baltimore. I'm looking for some folks who would like to to do it with me. It's going to take a lot of motivation. I want others to hold me accountable, and I will do the same. Anyone care to join me? If I get enough responses, we can make a group out of it. Let's do this!!!!

    I'll be starting tomorrow. I know it's preferable to start at the beginning of the week but I'll get caught up. I am a former marathon runner who took a break from running due to an injury and trying to build back up. Feel free to add me.

    Hopefully, I'll be starting the treadmill version of this tomorrow at the gym. Pretty excited if I'm honest, heard so much good feedback about it!

    Tomorrow I'll be doing Week 2 Day 3. I tried to do this last year, and gave up on Week 3. Then I got discouraged because it was too hard for me. This time, if I can't complete the workout, I'll just repeat Week 2 until I have the stamina.

    I'd love to add some of you who are doing C25K! Send me a friend request.

    OK, I've had the C25K app downloaded for forever now. I started it once before and didn't make it past the 1st week. Idon't honestly think it starts with something that is possible for someone who has never run before. I want to give it a shot to switch things up with my workout. So, here is my question: should I start with the 'timed' or 'distance'??

    I used to run. Had some health issues, gained weight, had surgery and need to get moving. I am on week 2 day 2. Must remember to love the burn!

    For anyne not anle to complete week one day one, i say walk every other run or run half of it. Then repeat week one upping it until you can do it.

    I forsee repeating weeks, and that is OKAY!

    I do the timed version on the treadmill and use speeds that are a brisk walk (about 3.5mph for me) and I use 4.5 for my jogging speed. One thing I read that really helped was that you should focus on getting through the program first and then worry about increasing the speed at which you run (also the distance you are running in that amount of time). I think that if you are having a tough time with the pace, why not slow it down?

    I can't say enough good things about C25K. I couldn't run a minute but now I'm into week 9 of the C210K.
