    Anyone live in the Philadelphia area, wanna commit to a 5k in a couple months? I figure it'd really help keep me on track.

    BUMP.

    My roommate and I are going to attempt starting the c25k program today. I hate that I'm so self conscious. I'm more worried about running in public than I actually am about the program. Ugh!

    I finished W1D1 this evening. It wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting for it to be. My body is still pretty sore though. I'm so out of shape. I feel so much better about myself for completing it and starting the program though.

    Just finished W3D2. Went pretty well, although my calves are still a little unhappy with me. Not too bad though!

    Congrats! I find it goes better if you give yourself at least one rest day between days on the program.

    Oops! I thought I quoted Atlantique. My bad! haha

    Thanks! That's what I plan on doing. :smile: With the schedule I currently have, I know I'll be able to run for sure every Monday evening and Wednesday morning. Day 3 will alternate between Friday and Saturday depending on what my schedule looks like each week. :smile:

    doing wk3d2 today @ lunchtime but i'm doing "extra" intervals cause i like to do a minimum of 45 mins of exercise when i go out..
    i find it "not worth it" lol to just do 30ish minutes....

    so today i'm doing 90 sec running, 90 sec walking, 3 mins running, 3 min walking but instead of repeating 2 times i'm doing 4 times with a 5 minute warm up and 5 min cool down for a total of 46 mins....

    i did this monday and it felt great....

    happy running folks...

    I did W1D2 today. I struggled though. I was still a bit sore from Monday's run. Has anybody else struggled through week 1? I will probably have to redo week 1 next week.

    My bad knee was quite sore but I took some anti-inflamatory meds and pushed through it!! You can do it and if you decided you need to redo week 1 than do so there is no rules that say you have to complete it in nine weeks!!!

    I will complete W4D2 tonight!!

    Finished W4D2 yesterday. Rough, but felt great to finish. The route I take outside seems to have me running uphill and walking downhill or on even ground. Going out of town tonight so will do W4D3 tomorrow on a treadmill. We'll see if there's much difference between outside running and inside in terms of time and distance.

    Through week 4! Didn't think I could do it, but I did and it felt great. Even on the 5 minutes straight running. Actually looking forward to running tonight. Loving this! :) In the four weeks I've done the C25K program, I've lost 6 pounds. :) Have the 5K I'm running all picked out for May 22nd.
