    Cause I work out 5 times a week now I haven't followed it to a T. I haven't had the rest days like they say to. This is partly due to having maccas last week once, too many wines etc and I gained a kg, so I've pushed much harder this week lol. I've this week done:

    Wed - C25K
    Thurs - C25K twice through
    Fri - C25K
    Sat - C25K
    Sun - I'm going to just walk the half hr
    Mon and Tues off ....maybe.....

    I had been slowly working up to it a little on the tready anyways (jogging for a minute here and there) so I found it ok. Week 2 is freaking me out a little. Week 3 I am going to really freak out lol. I'm pretty sore today hence I need to give myself a walking break tomorrow morn.

    I'm still recovering from a busted achilles tendon, but will start again in May! :)

    For now, it's just weights and HIIT elliptical workouts.

    I'm currently in Week 2 but I want to repeat it because I have only been able to do it on the treadmill. I want to complete it while running outside.

    I hate obeying the rest day rule but I do give it a day between runs. I push it a little and only rest one day between weeks though.

    Week 2 is not that much harder than week 3. I've repeated a day in week 3 and I've noticed that I'm able to go the whole 90 seconds with no problem unlike w3d1.

    Hey - im on week 7 day 1 and I love it .I run 2 programs at once on the phone and they are 2 weeks apart, so I run the week 7 day 1 last night and week 4 day 1 tomorrow, so i can run 6 days /week but im not constantly pushing it. Ive had a few walking days on the 'easy' days so its now 3 weeks apart - ive found its been a great way to do it

    OK we seem to have a few on it, done it, about to or even doing it twice at once..This is fantastic guys. I am really looking forward to it.

    I will be starting doing treadmill and see how I go on outside runs. I will have to squeeze this in with the 2 spin classes a week and boxing as well as some Tabata training. So this is a good excuse to up my training above 3 times a week.

    I am in week 4, day 2... I run on the treadmill, and we now have to always use the treadmills on a 3%incline, so yesterday was brutal! I did find week 4 a little difficult anyway.

    I am really looking forward to it (and after todays lunch really need to give it a kick in the *kitten*). I am a little worried about the three days my wife and I are spending in Melbourne this weekend. While we will log what we eat we have decided not to be strict....LOOK OUT!!!

    Just finished wk2D1. Really enjoying it. Problem is my bloody earphones keep popping out. Nothing a retro sweatband won't fix I guess.

    HA HA. I just got back from doing WK2D2 again (yes I actually felt like going for a run) but for some reason the voice que dropped out and I was running when I should have been walking....no wonder it was bloody hard.

    Also this was the first time I did it on the road and not a treadmil. Harder but alot more enjoyable. Anyone else find the road harder or is it just me?
