Completed C25K program

crazydv

I'm on cloud nine! I can't believe that 8 weeks ago I struggled to run 30 seconds and today I completed the program and ran a 5k.
I can't say that it was always easy. I had to repeat some of the days but kept telling myself I would not quit.

This really is a wonderful program. If I can do this at 50+ years old, then anyone with the desire and determination can!

Thanks for letting me gloat! I just feel so damn good about myself and that's a feeling I Havnt had in a very long time!

Congrats,

I ran the same program and I struggled as well I think on week 3, but it's such a good feeling when you complete. So now your next step is to enter a 5k run.

Don't stop now you just entered the world of running and I personally love running now so keep at it.

Yay you! Isn't wonderful what you can achieve when you put your heart to it??

I did the C25K program too last summer, even though I never thought once in my life that I would be a runner someday...

I completed my first 5K in October, and I have signed up for a 10K next month! (Oy!)

Have fun running this summer!

Way to Go! I am currently on week 2....hoping I can make it to the end. My goal is to run a 5K in October for the breast cancer walk with my sister (who is currently on week 5).

Awesome job, I hope to get there one day. I am on Week 3 day 2 tomorrow.

Congrats! I too just recently finished the C25K starting from literally not being able to run more than a minute. The great news is it seemed to be very easy to move from the 5k to the 10k which I just finished as well in a little over 3 weeks :-)

Great work!

Congratulations! What an accomplishment! I have one day left of Week 4, and I'm incredibly nervous about starting Week 5.

Congratulations to you! It is remarkable how we find ourselves reaching these unthought-of goals. Continue to be a believer and RUN baby RUN:flowerforyou:

Awesome!! Great job!

I'm on week 6 and struggling because I have been leaving too many days between runs due to weather and other commitments. I think it's been almost 8 weeks but I'm still on week 6. But I will get there. I have to. I'm registered for a 5k race in June.
