    Wow, I am SOO glad I read this before my week 1, day 1 session today!

    I have previously tried the c25k program twice and both times I stopped after trying the first week workout a few times and finding it impossible! I now realise I was doing it all wrong before by running full throttle in the first few minute segments (after which I would just walk the rest of the time). But this time I JOGGGED slowly and found it not only much easier but enjoyable! Whilst cooling down this time I even felt like I could have done more - which bodes very well for next week! This time around I'm feeling very proud of myself and am actually looking forward to progressing along the course. :-)

    Apeacefulway - very encouraging to see you've completed the program and are onto the 10k one less than 3 months after your initial post! Hopefully I'll be able to say the same in August! Also - you started the program in the snow?! I doth my cap to you.

    I wish that were true. I still get pain. I think I have some kind of sciatic issue. I just push through it and take longer rests between workouts to heal. I'm hoping as the weight continues to come off things are going to get easier.

    That is awesome! Good for you!! I am looking to start the 10K program myself this week.
