Hello again, I finished my first week! I am not as sore as I was after the 1st and 2nd day either. I ran on the tredmill, so it gave me a better idea of how fast I went and how far. I did a total of 35 min and did 2.5 mi. My walk was 3.5 and my run was 7.0 Should I bump up my walk faster??? Or my run faster?0

No, you'll actually probably end up having to slow your run if you want to get through the longer runs. Just go at whatever pace is comfy for you (I walk at 3.0 and run at 3.8 LOL!)0 -
Hi! I'm on week 5 of the C25K workout and am kind of stuck honestly, but just seeing that all these people are trying it is enough to help me stay motivated to keep going, so thanks!0

Great work everyone! I just wanted to tell everyone to keep at it, the program is totally do-able and worth it!
I just did my first 5k race today with my daughter and it was awesome! I jogged most it, I think I was around 2.25 miles when I had to walk a little, but I was just proud of myself for signing up for it, spur of the moment and doing it.
I came in at 41 minutes 4 seconds, a little slow, but it's my best outside time yet and it was a trail run, which I'm not used to at all, so I was hopping over trees roots, running on grass, sand, gravel, you name it.
Good luck everyone with your 5k & 10k journeys!
wow, trail run? good for you! i'd bust an ankle, for sure!0 -

i know it's hard, but stick with it...it's gets easier and easier! i'm running about 2 miles at a time now, with not too much struggle, about 11-12 minutes a mile! and when i started, i couldn't run for more than 30 seconds at a time!0 -

Thanks, I will keep that in mind. I may slow my run down a bit.0 -
Week 5 Day 3 Tomorrow, can't believe i have to run 20 minutes straight, i hope i can do it. The 8 minutes on week 5 day 2 wasn't as bad as i thought it would be and i still had energy at the end so hopefully i will be able to manage 20. Fingers crossed!0

you can do it! just zone out and enjoy the run!0

Ran my first outdoor run today. 3.25 miles in 33 minutes! Faster than what I do on a treadmill--averaged 6 mph whereas I run at 5 mph on the treadmill. I found it hard to slow down when running outside, and I started out way too fast. As such, I'm very sore now, but glad I was able to do it. Never felt real on the treadmill. Now, I'm feeling much better prepared for my first 5K in three weeks!0

If your heartrate is in the right zone for endurance training you will progress! :-D you may just find that you need to slow a little as your runs get longer... there doesn't have to be a set speed for your runs. Just feel it out and change it each time as needed, knowing it IS OK to slow down. :-D
Thanks, I will keep that in mind. I may slow my run down a bit.0 -
