Great thread...I did week 1 workout 1 yesterday. I was actually surprised that I could do it. As I look ahead to other weeks it looks scary to me, but then I just tell myself to focus on where i'm at now. I have never been athletic and have never been a runner but it is a secret wish of mine. I really want to run in a 5k race. I think it would encourage me in other ways too. So, glad to see others starting this week too. If you want a buddy, friend me. Good luck everyone!!!!!

Just wondering if anyone has tried starting on a Week later than week 1? I was doing some running before starting, so just wondering if people were successful starting on other weeks?

Yay for C25K!! Before joining MFP about 90 days ago- I had never actually followed thru with an exercise or eating plan. So to find a training program that is going to help me learn to jog for 30 min straight kinda seemed impossible. Starting tomorrow, I will be on week 3, day 1. But I think im going to repeat week 2 instead. Ive never actually ran for more than a min or two in my life. So im actually really excited

Stick with it. It does get easier. I would say the first 4 weeks were the most difficult. Do not be afraid to repeat a week or day when needed.

I just finished day 3 of week 1. I was worried because I have asthma and running has always been a struggle for me, but I bring my inhaler along and so far it's been fine. I'm also using the rundouble app.
