I just got back in from running my last official C25K run!! :drinker:
The past 9 weeks have been incredibly challenging and rewarding and I can't believe it's over. I wasn't an active kid growing up and I most certainly was not a runner (not including scenarios involving police and childhood debauchery) and somehow I completed the program.
I'm not up to 3.1 miles yet but being able to run for 30 minutes straight is HUGE to me so I consider it a successful completion and I will build myself up to 3.1 miles on my own and then continue moving forward!!
For any of you on here who are thinking about starting the program - do it!! I promise you will not regret the challenge and the lessons you learn about yourself will far outweigh any discomfort you will have to deal with.
Those of you who are currently doing the program but haven't completed - congratulations on taking this leap and keep pumping those legs!! Can't wait to see you post your completion success story!

What did you do when you completed it? I'm a little nervous about not having a program. I am traveling abroad in August so I plan to keep running for 30 minutes etc and then when I get back I want to do a 5k somewhere local and then I'm not sure where to go after that.0 -
Congrats! That's wonderful!

That's great. Running for 30 minutes isn't a minor accomplishments. Shows you're in really good shape. Keep up the good work.0

Agreed. It's very rewarding. I'm a C25K grad and I recommend it to everyone!
Congrats on your accomplishments! Keep going! :flowerforyou:0 -
I started it, but I jog with my kids in/on a stroller and if my daughter even catches sight of me, she screams and screams until I take her out of the stroller! I'm hoping it's just a phase so that I can re-start the runs; I was really enjoying it!0

I completed the cto5k a little while back and know what you are talking about. It is a awsome feeling making that first 30 min run. I am still not quite up to the 3 mile mark yet more like 2.7. I have also restarted it on my off days with my youngest daughter. we are up to week 7 and I plan to be running six days at least 30 mins by the end of July.
YOU ARE AWSOME!!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:0 -
Congratulations!!! I'm still on Week 1 Day 1, but i'm on the road to getting there like you...0

We are rockstars :glasses:
Thanks everyone and you guys keep up the hard work!!0 -

You WILL get there! Honestly I think the hardest weeks for me were the first weeks. By no means are the longer runs easy but having to teach my body how to move and keep my brain from overriding my heart was really hard for me.
Just keep getting out there and putting one foot in front of the other.0 -
great job!0
