NSV- C25K

I just restarted it this week, and loved it. Completed week 1! Last time I started I injured my knees very badly. I've lost 45 lbs and increased my leg muscle strength and I'm back at it. Yay for running! It feels soo freeing.

I am on W7D1 and having a hard time with this last week. I have really enjoyed the program. I love seeing progress! It has helped with the weight loss too. I'm so glad someone talked me into trying it! Keep up the good work!:happy:

I hate to run, but..... I did W2 D1 on Thursday. Was planning to do D2 but things got in the way lol! Aiming for the next day or so, but if I don't, I am planning to start over...

Good luck!!

I started it mid June. I repeated some days until I felt I was ready move on so I am curently doing W4D3 for the second time. Next week scares me a little :P I was barely pushing through those 5 minute intervals and wasn't sure how on Earth I was gonna manage 8 lol...but after a repeat I am feeling confident I love feeling myself get stronger and I am super happy when I am able to make it through without stopping early on those longer intervals. I had to learn to slow down and pace myself so I could get through them.

I love the program! I haven't run a lick since Jr high?? lol I was over 300 lbs last summer and after a 70 lb loss I am loving that I can run and that I actually enjoy it!

It is really hot here in Arkansas too so I make myself get up at 5:30 and run before the sun gets all the way up..It's just light enough to see when I head out so that helps with the heat. We have a gym membership but I am afraid to try to run on a treadmill in front of everyone...afraid I might fall on my face :P

I ran in my first 5k right after starting W2 ...I couldn't run the entire route of course but I managed to finish at 46:24 Yay!

Love C25K! I finished it a couple months ago, and have registered for a triathlon in October, plus two 5Ks. I now run 3miles 4X a week. Great program! I used the Ipod app, so a voice prompts you when to start, stop, etc. Love it!

Congrats on completing Week 1!

I just finished W2D1 today and it was hard for me but I pushed through it! My goals for 2013 are to complete 2 5k's, a tough mudder and the Disney Princess Half Marathon. It's been too hot to run outside so I do it on the treadmill and it's been pretty good for me. My shins hurt like hell after week 1 but they're feeling better now. Good luck and congrats

I finished C25K and ran my first 5K without walking any portion in late July with a time of 31 mins 10 seconds. I missed placing in my age division by 30 seconds . As many people have said I was never a runner either but love the program and have became addicted to running. I am currently on week 2 day 3 of a "Bridge 2 10K program" and am running 5 miles a workout. Keep it up and don't try to focus on time and just worry about finishing each segment.

I have started C25K this week. Officially i am about to start w2d1 on Monday (i have done week 1 in three days as i wanted to push myself a bit harder) I have adapted it a bit and am doing it for 35 mins not 20 mins. I know people will frown at me for this but i have been working out for a whie (just not running) so my basic fitness is already there. I have jsut booked my first 5k run for Sept so i had better be able to do it!!

I did C25k starting after Christmas - have run a few 5k parkruns since then http://www.parkrun.com Came in 169th this morning as I run slowly around the 50 minutes mark. It's great fun and I'm planning on speeding up as I lose weight

I did the Parkrun today as well. It was SOOO HOT. Still managed a PB of 27:03 and was 143rd

It's my second parkrun and I do all my training on a TM.

There was over 200 at my event today. Loads of people were talking about the C25K and how this enabled them to prepare for the event.

Did W1D3 this morning. Best of luck! I'm doing this and Insanity, with a little Turbo Jam thrown in.
