C25K NSV

BlackKat75

This morning I ran 20 minutes without stopping. I know that for some of you that might not seem like a big deal, but it's *huge* deal for me. The last time I ran so long was more than 8 years ago, when I weighed almost 20 pounds less than I do right now. Because this was the first day on C25K with uninterrupted running, I finally got to figure out my pace - 9:40 a mile, which I'm quite pleased with. Anyway, just wanted to brag a little :bigsmile:

Great Job! I'm at W2D1 of my C25K and am sucking wind after running 90 seconds. Not sure if I am dreading the week 5 run or am looking forward to it.

That is great! I am in week 4 of C25K and stoked to be running for 5 minutes straight... can't wait until I get where you are!

That's AWESOME! I'm about to start it up again after getting to that week and then finding out I was pregnant in December 2011. My son is now 6 weeks old and I'm cleared to run again. It will be a slow start but I can't wait to be able to say I can run for 20 minutes straight! CONGRATS! : )

I had exactly the same reaction when I finished the first 20 minute run!! I couldn't believe I could do it! Congratulations :drinker: The 22/25/28/30 minute runs only get easier from here on in

futurestarz

WOAH!!! Your time is awesome! I finished my 20 minute run a little over a week ago, and my pace was 12:45 or something like that. Congrats!

Congrats!!! I'm on week 8 after switching between C25K and Zombies, Run! Week 5 was definitely the most frightening and it gets better here on out.

Great Job! I'm at W2D1 of my C25K and am sucking wind after running 90 seconds. Not sure if I am dreading the week 5 run or am looking forward to it.

I totally understand. Then I realized it was more psychological than physical. I was just as proud as the OP.

Muscles_Curves

Fantastic job!! You should be very proud of your accomplishment.

peejay34mason

You absolutely should give yourself a much deserved pat on the back. That is one of many milestones you will log!

brendaj39

that is an awesome accomplishment!

mitch16

Yay for you! The distance will become easier and easier and the 'personal bests' will keep coming!

That's awesome! Congratulations! You should try out the Nike + running app. I have it and its a cool way to track your mileage and pace.

That is a huge deal WTG!! Just think how you'll feel when you do the final run! It's an amazing feeling!! I went from doubling over to catch my breath after a 30sec jog to completing the program, it's such an accomplishment! ( here's my blog on graduating : http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/BrunetteWife?month=201007 ) Great job again!!

Great job! I was up to 2.5 miles without stopping, when I twisted my ankle 2 weeks ago, and have not been able to run since. It is a great accomplishment. I am a cyclist and had a hard time getting started running. I was doing the c25k as well, just hoping I don't have to start all over again, once my ankle is healed.

HollyAus

That's awesome!! I got way to intimidated by it the first time and quit But I'm passed it now! It does feel awesome

Keep it up!!

shannonmch

Way to go!!!!

jennibell81

EricaRuns27

That's great!!! Congrats! 

I'm training for a half marathon and my pace is on average between 9:00-9:30/mile. Which I am extremely proud of! Keep up the good work, put on some good music and let the pavement take u away. It gets easier! . The mre and more I train for this half marathon, the more I see it's a mind thing, adding on the additional mikes each week.

Once again, way to go. Feel free to add me if u want some support on ur running journeys!!
