    Congrats! Completely agree with the adaptability of the body. I literally went from sitting on the couch to graduating C25K to my first 5K this summer (planned for June). It's a great feeling of accomplishment and you should celebrate! Maybe get some new running shoes to celebrate! :laugh:

    That's fantastic! I completed my C25K earlier this month as well. I am NOT a runner... and not small... I did it, didn't give a crap about whether I looked pretty doing it or not, I did it without stopping!! (time: 34:16)

    My only advice is stretch consitently after every run! I am having a bit of trouble with my achilles tendon now (after a 3.8 mile run last week) and now I am off running till next Friday. :-(

    Stretching, I'm told, could have possibly prevented this. I will admit that I sometimes didn't stretch afterwards... and it was probably a lame attempt the times I did try to...

    Anyway, ****** yay******* awesome job!

    Lol Tag - I think I may well need new shoes after my last run yesterday.....they're all squishey from the rain, lol :-D

    Thanks everyone for the loves, and people new to this - do it, enjoy it and you won't look back!! :) Hell, you probably won't enjoy it at first actually, but do it and the enjoyment comes later ;)

    And totally agreed Skeena! I always tag a 5 minute walk onto the front AND back of any run (due to quite a dodgy knee)! Also, if you need support on any joints, don't hesitate getting it - they might look severe, but they are complete lifesavers!

    Awesome! I had been jogging for about 15 seconds at various times during my 30 minute walk fo the past 2 weeks. Last night I "officially" started C25K. I made it through 3, 60 seconds/90 seconds intervals. Then did 2, 45 seconds/2 minute cycles. I'm taking it slowly since I am still very overweight. Thank you for inspiring me to stick with it!

    I just completed the C210K last week after starting and completing the C25K first. The apps were really helpful... Great work and congrats to your accomplishment!
