    Just started the 30DS on Friday, but then didn't do day two or three yet....so I'll restart that today! Going to try and add the C25K today, heard its a great way to get started or back into running. Currently I've being doing about a mile a few times a week, but it's a struggle and I'd like to be able to enjoy it more.

    I've done C25K before and I started 30 day Shred yesterday. How do you do them together? Do you still do 30 day shred everyday and add in the 3 days of C25K? Or do you substitute 3 days of 30 day shred with 3 days of C25K?

    C25K is the couch potato to 5K plan. Google it and it has a 9 week program designed to take you from no running to your first 5K.
    I do the C25k three times per week and then I do the 30ds at least 5 times per week. On the days I don't have the c25k I do any other type of cardio I can find for 30 mins. I started week 8 today... On the c25k... Still doing good! It is very exciting for me to run that far at one time.. I never have made it this far on this program. Currently running 28 mins...
    Any suggestions on an additional apps that will help me increase my speed??? I have a 5k in late April, so I'm trying to keep running up until then so u don't lose my ability...

    The first two days were hard for me too, but day three was better for me because I already felt the increase in stamina.

    I will get started with both after work. We had a weather scare in Memphis so I couldn't get to the gym, but I'm all over it tonight. Congrats to those who have been able to do both so far.

    I had a setback and couldn't do Day 8 until tonight... even after 5 days w/o doing the shred, I did not lack in the endurance department. So happy with tonight's results! :)

    I ran my 40 minutes.... total of 50 minutes after cool down 3.85 miles almost didn't make 10 minutes cause my legs and calves are so sore from the 1st day of shred.... and I did the shred after.. did all strength movements and abs.. only some cardio cause i already ran so much and my legs are so sore i couldn't do any of the lunges or squats :(.. I'll be doing the shred tonight after work... my legs are so sore though! I might have to stick to upper body/abs/and cardio moves again... hopefully they will start to adapt... HAPPY SHREDING EVERYONE!

    I just restarted 30 day shred today I am hoping I keep it up and I will do C25K starting Friday afternoon, already sore so I will definitely have to work a little harder to get the soreness out.

    Fantastic! I actually was going to start C25k again today but I am currently on round 2 of 30 DS! Feel free to add me always looking for support!

    Deciding since I wasnt loosing as much as I wanted I needed to add running back into my routine to give me and extra boost!

    we'll see what happens...

    Havppy Shredding!!!
