Did week 6 day 1 today! I've just started to run outside and today was my first time ever running on the beach (I'm on vacation)...omg hard!! I definitely felt it the last half of the 8 min run and the last 5 min run...I'm hoping I get stronger though! I felt like I was less winded after the full 20 min one the other day!0

Repeating W6D2...did it two days ago, I had to stop at 8 min on the second 10 min run
just wasn't feeling it, couldn't get my breathing right. Took a break for a couple of days, rested my legs, now I'm ready to get back at it:bigsmile: 0 -
Had to repeat the first day of week 6 :x
I actually wanted to do the first 10min, but then felt pretty weak, so I decided to do the 5-8-5 :x
Gonna do better in two days time

I'm doing Week 6, Day 2 tomorrow. I've tried C25K once before when I had much much much less determination. But his ttime I'm already further into the program than I've ever been. I can't quite yet see the finish line but this time, I'm sooo gonna reach it!!! :-)0

Completed Day 2!!! For the last 1/4 of my second 1 mile run, I just kept saying to myself "just 1 more second" over and over again.
When does this get easier!?? LOL.0 -
Wow, three posts in a row and all mine. That's not too strange. LOL!
I just completed my Day 3, 2-1/4 run and now it's off to Week 7!0 -
Hi Week Sixers!
I've just completed Day 1 yesterday - I was up and out running by 5:30am! I didn't find it too bad, though I did make the mistake of thinking I could run faster than I really could again on the first running section. I managed to recover and reined it in a bit for the following ones. It is frustrating because my brain is telling me I can run faster than this, but my body obviously disagrees at the moment!
I can't wait til I'm doing a full half hour running, and can start working on increasing the distance I can run in that time!
ETA: Still can't believe I'm looking forward to running longer! Absolutely mental lol0 -

Wow, I made the exact same mistake. I thought, "well heck, I ran for 20 minutes last week... I should be able to fly through five minutes now!" Uhhh..... no..... I should not.
Slow and steady, slow and steady, slow and steady....0 -

That needs to be my mantra lol!
I've completed Day 2 this morning. I found it harder to get going on the second set of running, and was thinking afterwards that I might have found it easier with no walking breaks at all, strange as that sounds. I seemed to lose momentum with having to slow down, so I'm hoping that Day 3 proves my theory. I suppose it doesn't help that most of my route is up a massive hill, but I'm hoping that by doing it each time, it will get easier and it will make me fitter overall.0 -
I'm starting week 6 tonight and pretty excited. I couldn't believe I managed the 20 minute run, so looking forward to running for longer.0

YAY! Completed Day 3 of week 6 on Saturday.
I was supposed to be out on Day 1 Week 7 this morning, but I've had some bad stuff going on over the weekend and really didn't feel up to it. I'm going on a "gym date" with my best friend this evening so I can catch up, so I'm actually going to be running on a treadmill instead of up that mountain of a road! 0 -
Week 6 Day 1 on Thursday..::noway:0

I did day 2 of week 6 today. I'm still really struggling with my brain. I ran inside on the treadmill today. It was about 80 something degrees when I was ready to go but the humidity was 90% so it was stifling. Right now it is 93 degrees with a "feel like" temperature of 105. We do not get this kind of weather so it really cripples us. I was watching a movie while doing my workout this morning and still I kept thinking "how much longer", etc. I even had the timer blocked by the ipad! Physically, I did not feel like I was going to die (I could have gone longer for sure) but I just can't get the mental part down. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions?0

I did my Week 6, Day 3 (sort of) today. I was totally down yesterday....spent day being a lazy couch potato, blowing my nose constantly and too nauseous to even eat properly. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to do more than walk today but.....instead of running 22 minutes, I ran 30 minutes and I exceeded a 2 mile run....both of which were goals of mine! I'm going to continue punching through my C25K app, but I'm going to try to run 30 minutes every day and hopefully get it so that I am doing a complete 5K during that time. Today, I used the treadmill so I might find it more challenging on the track and eventually (July) I want to do some on the road as well. I might have to give in and drive somewhere to do 2 miles on the road since I am surrounded by crazy hills (which I will someday be able to run!)0

Week 6 Day 2..I want to do this one outside. I have a 5 K on July 1st. Procrastinating right now.0

Week 6 Day 3.. I was 2 minutes shy of the 25 min run..so I will be doing it over on Thursday. It was not to bad..11:43 min miles. My goal was to run 2 miles and I did it..yeah me0

I've got W6D3 tomorrow and I am not really looking forward to it after the struggle I had with D2 yesterday. The first ten minutes felt like a battle and the second ten were okay until the last two minutes... but then once I finished I could barely shuffle the rest of the way home. Felt totally exhausted.0
