    Completed w1d2 today with my newly downloaded podcast! Whoop!! So glad I downloaded that because I misread the chart the first day and shorted my workout by 2 runs! It's all good though...today felt great!!

    It is all good. You are doing great!

    I been on vacation all week. I have worked out but mostly weights and hiking. I left on week 5 day 2. Only problem is I'm worried coming back to week 5 week 3. It is a big jump from week 5 day 2- 8 minute running intervals, to 20 minutes straight running. I'm thinking I should do week 5 day 2 again before I move on the week 5 day 3. I know I won't be able to do 20 minutes of straight running after not running for a week. What do you think? Hope you all are doing well. Has anyone taken the jump from week 5 day 2 to week 5 day 3? If so, how was it? I'm scared. My plan next week is to take gym classes 4 days a week and run 3 days a week. I want to loose my last 3 pounds this month and then maintain.

    I think Kilgore's suggestion is a very good one. You can give it a shot and if you have to do more or longer recovery walks then so be it. There's always another day you can try it again.

    And congrats on being so close to your goal and maintenance. That seems so far away for me lol.

    I just started C25K on Monday, the first time I have ever done a proper exercise regime. I'm determind to keep the running up, and this is a great help. Day 1 was great! The hardest bit was getting off my backside and out the door to do it. I'm doing day 2 in a minute.

    Hi Caroline, I have added you to the group list. I know how you feel about getting started. But once you do it, it just feels so great and you want to keep going. Can't wait to hear about your weekly journey.

    I have a question: On the treadmill, my speed is between 8.5 - 10 kph which I found out is like 5.5 - 6.25mph. Does that seem very slow to you guys? I mean I am definitely 'running' but people are seem to be running at like 8 - 10mph?!

    OMG Petit, that is nowhere near slow. I'm not sure who is running at 8-10mph. Definitely not me LMAO. The highest I have done on the treadmill so far is 6mph and that was tough so I can't even imagine 10. You are doing GREAT!

    Hi Jt, you would need an account to edit so I just thought it was easier if I set it up read only for everyone. I just updated your status. :smile:

    Hey, I know I'm a little late, but I was wondering if I could still join? I started week 1 last Saturday, and finished today. I think I'll start week 2 on Friday or Saturday. It's actually pretty difficult for me- I'm soooo out of shape, but I'm gonna keep going. We can do this! :happy:

    Sure you can Emma! I made it official. :smile:

    It was difficult for me too but it gets better and you will surprise yourself and what you will be able to accomplish. Just take it slow and work your way through it. It's mind over matter in the truest sense.

    Attempted Week5Day3 tonight. This is the big jump - 20 minutes straight. I didn't quite make it, but am still thrilled with how I did. I ran 10 min, walked 2. ran 9. So not quite there, but holy cow, what an accomplishment from where I started!

    Keep it up everyone - we are all in this together, each little accomplishment is earned and we should all be proud!

    That is awesome!

    I just did W1D2 last night. D1 was the treadmill, and this was outside. I did OK despite the massive hills in our development and the heat.....

    Hey G, and welcome to our group!
    If you go to the link in my signature, I have a bunch of websites with various playlists. I personally enjoy the one from kissmy****.org. It's pretty much Top 40 stuff with hip hop, pop, etc. I know the songs and I get to sing along which helps get my mind off the fact that I'm actually running in hot weather LOL. I have another link as well that has all kinds of genres of music so you should be able to find something that you like.

    Great job on completing your first run!

    That is awesome Tech that you completed it. That's what counts. You and Kilgore are the farthest along on the spreadsheet and are doing great! You guys are an inspiration for all of us just getting started!
