    I am thinking we can post what our length/intervals are on the days we train?
    Today I did 5 min walk then 30 sec run (4.5) walk 90 sec (3.5) then 5 minute walk for a total of 35 minutes.
    Hoping to be able to run the full 30 minutes by xmas.

    If you are following the standard C25K program, what we did on another message board I was on was post W1D1 and any information we had. Kind of a way to be accountable to everyone. THis program so works and I think I am going to start it back up with W4 this week.

    Motivation for all.... Im starting week 8 of my c25k program. Im actually above and beyond what it says. Im up to running about 45 minutes straight. Before i started i couldnt really run a minute without being out of breath or being ready to quit! Keep going and you will see results, just like it did. Im signing up for a 5k on 11/13! Im so excited!

    Warning... you should not do another high impact exercise between running days. You risk joint injuries and shin splints because you aren't giving your body a chance to recover. Find something low- or non-impact for your days between running for at least the first few months, possibly longer. Swimming, biking or even walking are better choices than Zumba.

    Yes thank you for that warning. I decided not to do Zumba after all. I did some walking instead! Gonna incorporate W1D2 into our CFC campaign fun run tomorrow at work. At least I'll get to run with some of my coworkers and keep it fun!

    W1D1 complete!

    I found a free C25k podcast on itunes...This girl called Chubby Jones does each week and directs you when to run and walk. Her music is great! I tried a couple, but after I found hers I was hooked.
    Anyway it helps me, so I'm not constantly looking at my watch.

    Did you find it through itunes? I really want to get it and give it a try - my ipod also track my walking and running - nike has the chip in the running shoes and it runs off the ipod
