1. What Week/Day are you on? W3D2
2. How do you feel? Good, I'm closely monitoring my pace so I can keep going. (Slowing down helps my knee.)
3. Have you had to repeat a week or day? Not yet, but I'm concerned about W5D3 where it calls for a 20 minute run.
4. Did you add time or remove time from one of your runs? I always add 10 - 15 minutes of brisk walking to the cool down.
5. Do you notice something different about yourself yet? I'm incredibly energized.
Best wishes to my fellow C25Kers out there!0 -
1. W4D1
2. Good. Since I've started jogging again, I've been more motivated and relaxed.
3. Not yet. But I haven't missed any workouts yet either...
4. The C25k program has only been taking me about 1.5 miles, so I walk an extra .5 miles to burn the extra 50 calories (so I burn 200/day). No matter what, I will get to the 2 miles....
5. More motivated and happier....0 -
1. What Week/Day are you on? W6D1 did that yesterday
2. How do you feel? yesterday wasn't one of my best but usually I feel awesome after doing it!
3. Have you had to repeat a week or day? very surprisingly no.
4. Did you add time or remove time from one of your runs? I always try to go run/walk for 55 minutes to an hour depending on my mood (sometimes I run more sometimes I walk more)
5. Do you notice something different about yourself yet? my legs are looking pretty awesome!!!0 -

Hey all,
1. I did W3 D1 yesterday.
2. Bit more of challenge for me this time. Looking forward to W3 D2 on Thursday.
3. I have been repeating day 3 of each week 2 times before moving on.
4. So far for W1 and W2 I have been able to cover a distance of 2.5 miles during the session. I do the 5 min warmup, jog/walk intervals, then a 5 min cool down period. Then I will walk or jog another 0.5 mile just to get in 3 miles. Takes me a total of about 35 min. so far.
5. I notice that somedays the jogging gets easier on the later intervals and then somedays I feel sort of sluggish. Maybe it is my mindset when I begin the session. When I am out jogging though I do enjoy that time in the morning.0 -
1. What Week/Day are you on? W4D1 yesterday - and I did it on a trail instead of the track like normal! A lot tougher but it was great
2. How do you feel? Awesome! Have to wear my knee brace, but it hasn't been bothering me much
3. Have you had to repeat a week or day? Not yet!
4. Did you add time or remove time from one of your runs? Yesterday I accidentally hit "pause" on the c25k app during the 5 min run, and it was about two minutes before I even noticed...so I did a 7 minute run! But it was accidental.
5. Do you notice something different about yourself yet? I am a slow runner, but my breathing is improving, which I am thrilled about. I can do a mile without stopping now0 -
1. Week/Day? W5D1 tommorrow morning
2. How do you feel? Good, enjoying the time running, like the feel afterwards...
3. Repeat a week or day? No repeat weeks; have repeated days since I run 5 days a week (not 3) and I like to start new weeks after a rest day.
4. Add time or remove time from one of your runs? I typically walk the remainder of the (.25 or 1 mile) lap at the end of day run. I also added 50% of the run time to the end of the run before the cool down because I felt I wanted to run further before advancing to the next week. Had no problem.
5. Do you notice something different about yourself yet? More energy, run speeds are increasing, dropped a couple pounds, have lost a little padding in arms and legs.0 -
1. What Week/Day are you on? W4 d1 tomorrow or thursday
2. How do you feel? ok for the first few segments, then tired. sometimes aching like i can not go on.
3. Have you had to repeat a week or day? no yet (knock on wood)
4. Did you add time or remove time from one of your runs? i added 65 minutes of walking after i am done
5. Do you notice something different about yourself yet? i can actually run what i am supposed to. in the past i tried this program and had to stop in between a run segment.0 -

Hi,
1. What Week/Day are you on? - W6 D2
2. How do you feel? Proud that I have gotten this far when I look back at the pain on W1D1
3. Have you had to repeat a week or day? Yes - almost every day has had to be repeated at least once as I am rarely able to complete runs on the 1st attempt and want to complete each run fully before moving on.
4. Did you add time or remove time from one of your runs? I have had to cut time off a lot of times.
5. Do you notice something different about yourself yet? My general fitness levels have shot up dramatically.
I have been on the program since January, but am slowly making progress.0 -
Morning Everyone!!
1. What Week/Day are you on? W1D2
2. How do you feel? Hot and sweaty
3. Have you had to repeat a week or day? No
4. Did you add time or remove time from one of your runs? Nope
5. Do you notice something different about yourself yet? I got up at 5:30 am before it got too hot but already 80.
It is exciting to see so many doing c25k this month and so motivating to hear how you all are doing!!

eta: 33 min = 2.16 miles = 211 cal0 -
1. What Week/Day are you on? Week 7 Day 3
2. How do you feel? Pretty darn awesome!
3. Have you had to repeat a week or day? Nope
4. Did you add time or remove time from one of your runs? Nope, doing the program exactly as laid out.
5. Do you notice something different about yourself yet? My fitness level has gone up dramatically, and my body is getting tighter.0 -
1. What Week/Day are you on? Week 2 Day 2 done today
2. How do you feel? Good run today. I pushed myself quite hard by setting the treadmill to incline to make it more like outside. Calves are agony at the moment. Just foam rollered them so hopefully no hobbling tomorrow.
3. Have you had to repeat a week or day? Not yet but that is probably because I am on easy stages
4. Did you add time or remove time from one of your runs? I add in a couple of extra minutes of running each time as I think my body can cope with it and I want to meet certain distance/calorie goals.
5. Do you notice something different about yourself yet? My calves were looking pretty good preC25k through cycling and a recent round of 30 day shred. Since I started running it has made my calf muscle definition fantastic. Shame that I haven't met anyone that would go "wow - check out those calves!". Stamina is also much improved.0 -
1. What Week/Day are you on? W2D3 Completed this morning.
2. How do you feel? Great except some minor pain across the bridge of my foot. I suspect loose laces.
3. Have you had to repeat a week or day? Not yet but this is not my first attempt.
4. Did you add time or remove time from one of your runs? Always add about 30 minute walk to cool down. Doubled up the W2D2 session this week
5. Do you notice something different about yourself yet? I have more energy. I always seem to struggle through the first run segment but once over that hump the rest seem easier for me.
Happy 4th. of July to all.0 -

1. What Week/Day are you on? Just finished Week Two, Day 3 today.
2. How do you feel? Excited, even though I’m nervous about moving onto Week Three.
3. Have you had to repeat a week or day? No
4. Did you add time or remove time from one of your runs? No, I do walk about two miles after my cool down.
5. Do you notice something different about yourself yet? This is my third time trying. Instead of the treadmill, I’m training outside. I like it so much better. I notice that I’m gaining more confidence. I’m not afraid to push myself. I really feel like I’m going to finish this time.
Great job, everyone!0
