C25K week 4 - did I really just RUN for 5 mins straight?

Candice, have you looked at parkrun.com? It's a global network of free 5K events, which are on every Saturday. I've signed up, and soon as I can manage 5K at least once on the treadmill, I'm going live, onto a Parkrun event. There might be a event in your neighbourhood!

Woo hoo! Way to go! Feels awesome, right?

Congrats on your success and they will keep coming if you stick with it. Try to get in some miles outside too -- (if you aren't already) -- its a very different feel and your legs will thank you for it in the long run. Keep up the good work!

Great!! I am also doing the C25k training and just finished Week 5, Day 1 (R5-W3-R6-W3-R5).....I was absolutely DREADING it but I was able to finish the entire thing without stopping. I have made a couple of 5k training runs since I've started. My first was about 42:00. Since then, I've done 2 more and went down to 39:00 and yesterday did it in 37:00!! My first actual race isn't until next month but I'm REALLY excited about it!! Keep up the good work!

Congratulations! You did great! I just finished week 1 day 3 (had to start over after getting hurt) and will start week 2 day 1 on Monday. Keep up all your hard work, I like your plan of doing each week twice.
