    I have not, but did my own version of it (I don't know if it was around when I started running). I now run 1/2 marathons every few months. Good luck, enjoy and most of all, make it FUN!

    I'm on week 7 - go for it! Just follow the program, even in the early stages when you feel like you can do more. When it gets harder, don't be afraid to slow down - slow & steady! I ran 2.5 miles/25 minutes non-stop today - no way I could have done that 7 weeks ago! :smile:

    Well I did the first day about an hour ago and much to my surprise, it was pretty easy! I guess I'm in better shape than I thought I was. Especially considering the fact that I haven't worked out in a week and a half from being sick. Yayyy.

    I'm on week 8 and jogging for 28 minutes non stop - I thought it would be impossible but it's not. Don't put yourself off by looking at whats ahead. Just take it minute by minute, run by run and before you know it you'll be there - Best of luck

    ^ Agree with this poster. I re-did a few weeks for more than the 3 days, plus I made sure to run really slowly if I was having trouble.
    I now have my eyes on a half and just did my first 9 mile run this past wkend. I'm 100% sure you can do it! :flowerforyou:

    Good luck...I know you can do it!

    I went from 2 broken ankles to C25K. You can do it. And there will be days that may be harder than others. Everyone has running off days. The key is to not give up. And if you give up in the middle of a day, don't sweat it. Just do that day again until you can finish. I had to redo several days. But now I just finished W4.

    Good luck!

    I did the C25K back in 2008 and was never a runner previously. I'm running around 15-20 miles per week now!

    I just started yesterday as well. I couldn't get threw the whole jogging time but I tried. Since you only start with 3 days week. I might redo W1D1 again today.
