Don't worry sounds like you are going great, you can do it!

Everyone else is doing an amazing job too well done guys!

Did W2D2 today and it seemed a bit easier than W2D1 just hoping i'll be able to do next week when it goes from 90 second runs to 3 mins :indifferent:

Just finished WK1 Day3 feeling strong. Cant wait to get to week 2.

I have found it harder on the treadmill so saturday i will go back outside to begin Wk 2, i think im too self conscious in the gym.

That's no good :ohwell: but it's good to rest it up and get it better rather than making it worse! Hope you feel better soon :flowerforyou:

Did W2D3 today and my week is definitely catching up with me i'm so tired and sore I had to push myself to keep going at the gym today but I did it and felt good that I had completed it. I'm gonna go buy some new running shoes next week because the ones I have now aren't proper running shoes and I don't want to stuff anything up in my feet or legs or anything. How has all of your weeks been? Hoping i'll be able to get up to the 3 min runs next week eep.

Welcome If you have so much trouble with the radio maybe (if you have it) you could use mp3 player on your phone, I like to mix heaps of songs to keep me going and just shuffle them. Good luck!

A bit late to the party, hope that's okay. I did W1D1 this morning. Felt good, mostly. I definitely need to get some new running shoes.

I used the Robert Ullrey podcast and the 20 minutes flew by.

Well done on getting through those I've decided I also need better shoes and I'm just waiting till the weather clears a bit so I can go and get some fitted properly.

Did W4D2 today and it went way better than W4D1. Not quite sure why that is but its very encouraging none the less. W5 now looming closer *gulp* :ohwell:

Hi and welcome to those just joined

I have been sick for the whole past week so i have missed my workouts I still don't feel compl. recovered but i just can't wait anymore.. i'm scared i will fall off track so i just decided to give it a try today .. and it was actually good- considering that i'm a little bit congested and still coughing /pressure in the head- but it's not so bad.. i made it

here are my results

week 1 - day one : time : 29.30 - distance 1,708- kcl - 210
week 1 - day two : time 29.30 distance 1,801, kcl 225
week 1 day three : time 29:30 distance 1.721 284 kcl

today i got to try out my new HRM polar ft 7 - i think i love it and it shows about 60 kcls more than what my treadmill shows.

Just finished Wk2 Day1. It felt quite hard going today, i managed to complete it but it was harder than week 1, not sure if i needed to warm up more, fine once i got moving.

Well done everyone you are all doing great

Week 2 Day 3 Complete
30 mins~ 2.53 dist ~ 371 cals burned
Warm-Up, 2 min Intervals and Cool Down @ 4.0
90 sec intervals @ 7.0

OMG, I almost gave up trying to push myself and jog @ 7.0. That was a killer. I think I'll stay @ my 6.5 next week.

Congrats to everyone sticking with the program. Keep up the good work! :drinker: (water)

Thanks Yeah i can't wait to go get some new shoes i'm actually really excited
That's good to hear about it seeming easier, i always peek ahead at the weeks and think oh god i hope i'll be able to do that! Don't worry you can do week 5 you're already doing so well

Starting week three in two days, hope i can keep pushing myself to do it..it's definitely not easy when you're jogging but hopefully in time it'll get a bit easier:ohwell:

Has anyone noticed a change in apetite since doing the C25K? im so hungry these days im eating all of my calories plus exercise ones. Can't work out why im so hungry. Anyone else had this?

I think today I am going to delay doing day 3 and see how quickly I can run a mile. If you see a humorous video of a hawaiian smacking his head on a treadmill after passing out, THAT'S ME!
