    I tried it a year ago, and didn't fair to well... never made it to week 4. Stayed on week 3 FOR EVER... I even tried switching to treadmill and that didn't break the barrier. I'd love to get some advise on that because I'd love to be able to actually run an entire 5k.

    I'm in! I've been walking for the past couple of weeks - up to 6 miles now! : ) - in preparation for C25K. I've never really jogged so I'm a little worried and haven't set up a start date. So let's all do it together starting Monday!

    Count me in, but as winter is coming to Canada soon I will be on the treadmill and your start date is Canadian thanksgiving so what better way to burn off the turkey butt!

    wow!!! i'm so excited to start this...i was wondering how in the world i was going to do this after i signed up for it...was i needing to look at my cell phone the whole time i was doing this or what??? my cell phone has a stopwatch mode anyways so i looked on the internet for like a couch to 5k music thing...and sure enough i found it :-) below is the link to it

    http://www.djsteveboy.com/1day25k.html

    after ur walking interval is up it makes like a chime sound...and very NOTICEABLE....and it does the same thing as when ur jogging interval is up...it does play music so its not like there's someone saying for u to start walking or jogging every so seconds....like i said that's what the chime sound does

    I"m on week 2, day 3. I've never been a runner but i actually got up an hour early so i could get my run in today! Some co-workers and I are planning on running a 5k at the end of november and while we will probably run/walk, i want to know that i could run the whole thing. Plus as i've been pushing 85 lbs (45lbs of stroller, and 20lbs each of two little girls). Im in as long as ya'll dont mind if i'm ahead a little bit.
    btw there are some great apps for android and i'm sure they are on iphone too, one is c25k, and it times the intervals and beeps when its time to change and the other one is Runkeeper. It keeps track of your distance, the elevation, your pace and then you can view your route on the map! those are great motivators too!

    I want to do something. I used to run and then developed asthma and stopped. I may be briskly walking, but count me in to start moving with you on Monday.

    I got the C25K app on my iPhone. I had to pay $3, but I think it's worth it because it allows you to listen to your own music while running, instead of the pre-programmed music that comes with most other C25K podcasts/apps I've found. Can't wait to use it!
