C25K Week 1 (week of Oct 11)

amylynne26

I'm in! I did C25K last year and loved it.... then I got a new job, kids went back to school, etc etc etc and just stopped making time. I've been doing a lot of yoga lately but want to be a runner again! As soon as my step-daughter AKA babysitter shows up I'm off! W1D1 here I come! Oh how I've missed you, running shoes....

Last week I completed all 3 days of Week 1. This week I'll be repeating Week 1 again. I'm just going to keep repeating it until I feel comfortable moving on. I will make it to the end of Week 9... even if it takes 9 months! :-p

Good job!
I did that too - repeat some weeks until I felt ready to move on. The important thing is to KEEP GOING!

Feel free to add me as a friend if you want!

Wow, do I miss running! My knees are messed up though so I can't do it for now but I'm so glad to see my beautiful daughter Amylynne26 has started again. Good luck to you all. :flowerforyou:

Hello all :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

Just wanted to drop a quick update, and see if anyone else has noticed this too?

I got up at 7am and ran first thing this morning, have a busy day as it's my son's 6th birthday today!!
2 parties and basically no free time all day so got up early to get this run in.
Something changed in me this morning, half way through W2D3's session breathing while running became easier, it was like I wasn't having to think about breathing, either to control to prevent stitch or to control to not become out of breath, it just suddenly got easy?!? It was just over half way through this session and then I suddenly felt like I could go for ages, when the man said 'walk' I did but could have just carried on, it was weird, like I'd reached a point when I had achieved something subconsciously. I'll be doing W3D1 tomorrow as I'm absolutely fine and have no desire to drag this out unless my body needs time to recover, the quicker I'm running 20 minutes plus the better!

Glad to hear so many people are getting out and getting this challenge going.

Keep up the good work xxx :flowerforyou:

Ok- so I did Week 2 Day 1 this morning...and I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but week 2 seems waaayyy easier than week 1! Whatever- I'm glad I've FINISHED 4 days of this program!
