Couch to 5k - starting today- want to do this with me?

mmccurrach

I am going to try the c25k program again...last year I tried and gave up after week 3. It would help me to have other folks to do this with and help motivate each other. This time around I am p,annoying on repeating a week if I find I'm really struggling g, because, I know, that if I don't, I will stop it all together. My weakness with the program is feeling like I can't breathe through the running and that seems the worst around week 3.

It only a 30 minute program, 3 times a week and can be done on a treadmill or outside.

Replay here if you want to get in on this. I'll be starting today.

I just started it yesterday, so I will be happy to follow along with you. I haven't done any running in 30 years, so it is really going to be a challenge for me. I did get through Day 1 !! Just have to do it one day at a time.

Im doing the 30 day shred program now but planning on doing this one later... will be watching your progress.. feel free to add me for motivation... You can so do this... Dont think repeating a week is a backwards movement.. you need a solid foundation to move forward!

Best of luck!! Cant wait to see your progress!

Best of luck to you! It's a great program that really works! After graduating the program, I now have several 5ks, a 7k, a 10k and a Warrior Dash under my belt with plans for a half marathon within the next year.

I would love to do this with you.. I have been running on a treadmill but really want to start running on roads and outside as it is much harder. So while I won't do the treadmill one I would like to the other... Friend me and I would be happy to do this!

I started yesterday as well. I'm on the heavy side, so I can use all the motivation on this one. Add me if you like.

This is a great program! Feel free to add me if you want. I just completed W4D1 this morning and yes it was a struggle. Week 3 is tough, but don't quit. I've had to repeat several weeks. I should be on week 6, but I repeat several runs and I'm stronger for it! I don't regret it at all. I've signed up for my first 5k in November to give me time to rerun any runs I may need to in the future. Good luck on your journey and don't give up!

Hi.

I'd like to join you, I started a little while ago but had few weeks off due to bad weather (and subsequent slackness) so I might start back at week 1 and see how I go this time round

feel free to add me and we can try to keep each other motivated.

I don't have a treadmill so I've been doing the outdoor version.

doing week 5, day 2 tomorrow. anyone that is doing the c25k, feel free to friend me! running used to seem more like torture to me, now i find myself looking forward to a run! :-) in a sick, twisted way, i'm even looking forward to week 5, day 3- a 20 minute run with no walking! best wishes on your journey.

Count me in. I've stated a fitness/rewards program with my girlfriend and would love to incorporate this into that program. I'll start day 1 tomorrow morning!

It's a great program. I started out running very little and I had no lung capacity--I used to smoke a ton and I couldn't hold my breath for half a minute, let alone breath through a mile. Now I have a half marathon under my belt. Stick with it and you'll get through the tough spots of increasing lung capacity. I still don't consider myself a runner, even though I do a few races each year, but I'm incredibly happy that I can hit the street a few times a week and blow through three miles as part of my usual routine. Stick with it!
