    I would love to join your group. I just complete Week 2 Day 2 so I will be a little farther ahead but any support is appreciated. I should be in week 3 right now but I skipped last week. I need the accountability to stay on track!

    I try and change up my workout every month and I've been wanting to try this so what the hell. I've never, EVER, been a runner but you've got to start somewhere so I'll give it a shot.

    Count me in. I tried it a couple of times, but I am having trouble running. (my old philosophy was why run unless someone is chasing you....LOL). Since I have trouble running, I will bike it and increase my speed when he says 'Run'. Maybe I will be able to start running after the first go through of the C25K. Count me in. I will add you.

    I'm in, hopefully at least!

    I've been wanting to start it, but with school it's been a challenge.

    I still have school, but I really need to burn more calories since I'm meeting my favorite band on June 22nd and I obviously want to look super good haha :)

    But add me or message me! I'd love the support/offer support!

    I'm not sure what days I'll run. Maybe Monday, Tuesday, Thursday.

    My Wednesdays are too crowded at the moment.

    I just started a slightly different couch to 5k running program last week, one I found in a magazine. It looks similar though, so I'll join if that's ok! I'm going to repeat week one as I've been a bit daft this week and exercised too much, so very achey and don't want to push it further next week. I box as well so can't really afford to be injured!
    Anyway, a question: I can't run outside so have to use the treadmill? Does this give the same sort of effects do you know? ALso, when it says 'run' how fast is appropriate? I tend to go at between 8-9km/h but have no idea if this is jogging, running or whatever!!

    As far I am aware of the program is the same whether you run on a treadmill or outside. From what I've been reading about running you can either run for endurance which is distance or time like for sprints or racing. For me personally, I am running for endurance which means I hope I can just finish. lol I think everyone should judge how fast they want to jog or run. As I get into better shape I definitely want to run faster but for right now I'm just hoping to reach the finish line.

    I actually googled C25K and this website that first came up had a modified one for the treadmill.

    Here's the link!

    http://www.c25k.com/c25k_treadmill.html

    I'm doing this version too because I have to use the treadmill. So I'll be glad to not be alone!
