    Such an inspiration. Well done. I've just finished an hour ago week 2 run 2. I'm also doing it on the treadmill. You've given me hope.

    That is great work! I have been wanting to do it but am afraid. My treadmill does not make changing the speeds easy. But I might have to download the app and strap on my sneakers and go outside.

    me too - I am going to start tonight but outdoors. Tried the Treadmill and spent most of the time fiddling with buttons that it put me off so will try outside:-)

    I have nothing but praise for the C25K program. I remember the feeling too where I first realized that maybe I can do this! And it's so fun when it starts to get "easy".

    What an inspiration!! I got into week 3 of the C25K, but life got in the way and I stopped. I just started again and I feel so much more motivated this time around. Thank you for sharing your story. I look forward to the same thrill you experienced.

    Keep up the good work!!

    Tonight I will be on Week 4, Day 2. I never thought I would be able to run for 5 minutes at a time, but I am now! This is the first time in my life I've been running and I'm 40 now! Thanks for your inspiration on running for 20 continuous minutes. If you and others can do it I know I can too.

    I do NOT like to run!!! lol But I started cycling because having someone help pace you is good. If I just ran on the tredmill or something myself I wouldn't push myself as hard.

    I just completed W4D2!! I have never been a runner but I always wanted to try it. I surprise myself when I can run for 5-8 minutes at a time. C25K is wonderful!

    This is the first time I've heard of C25K and it sounds awesome. I will be incorporating this into my workout routine for my non-gym days. It will help me train for the Warrior Dash (in New York), which is a race/obstacle course that I am participating in to help me reach my fitness goal.

    I signed up for 2 Warrior Dashes this year. God help me:) Signing up for races and such help keep me motivated. Huge Congrats to you for a fantastic run. You'll be competing in 5k's in no time:)

    W3D1 today! I'm always in shock at the end of each week that I am able to do it. What an amazing accomplishment you had! I can't wait to post the same thing. Today I'm being daunted with my first 3 minute run! Yikes! :)

    absolutely phenomenal... and very inspiring! i'm up to wk3 day2 tomorrow... please tell me at that point you thought you weren't going to be able to do the 20 minute run either! :)

    It was around W3 that i sneaked a peek at the rest of c25k schedule and seriously told myself "W5D3 is not going to happen, i will never be able to do 20min" and going in to W5 my running partner was starting W6 so said to my self " I have to try" and even on the actual day i was doubting myself and thought "what the hell ill do what i can if i manage 15min in one block at least I'm moving" The rest as they say is history :bigsmile:
