Good job everyone , you all are doing good work.
I just goth done doing week 4 Day 1. I surprised myself and was able to do it. When I started to run for 5 minute time. I was scared and was thinking of stopping. But this song came on and the way I went to the beat and I was like I was gone. I'm a little sore tonight.
I'm doing week 4 tomorrow too. I'm nervous about the 5 minutes. I was able to do it on the last interval of week 3 (just wanted to see if I could) but there's a big difference between seeing if you can, and having to do it repeatedly lol0 -
@nisijam5 yes it did lol
I finished W7D1 this morning
Again I was able to run the 5 minute cool down plus and extra minute. So that makes it a 31 minute nonstop run. My calf felt good. I gave it a good stretch before and after. Now I want to work on my pace. I managed to knock off 20 seconds from my last run but I still have a ways to go if I want to do the 5k within the 30 minute time the app gives. 0 -
I completed W1D1 today and found it a little easy, is it okay for me to skip to W2D1 on Monday?0

Finished Week 3 Day 3 and feel great. A lot better than Friday. Lesson learned. I think I am ready for Week 4, we will see on Tuesday.
As far as skipping ahead, I would say start where you are comfortable and build from there. For us that literally came off the couch week 1 was a good place to start.0 -

Listen to your body, my advice would be to not push...what's the difference of a couple of days?0 -
OK, I want to do W1D2 tomorrow after work and hoping it will be a nice day out. PF was good this morning and then acted up at the end of the shift. I didn't have time to work on it other then stretching.0

I did W1D1 again yesterday. I actually completed Week 1 about 3 weeks ago, but then I went abroad for spring break and just could NOT run outside in below freezing temperatures with 18 mph winds.
When I did week 1 last month, I was in the gym on the treadmill -- but since the weather's finally warming up, I did it outside yesterday. BOY, running outside is harder than running on a treadmill! But I did it.
Feel free to add me as a friend, especially if you're just starting out -- I'd enjoy seeing other people's continued progress to keep me motivated.0 -
W3D2 completed yesterday after 40 minutes of circuit training and some good stretching. I'm doing the treadmill version, manually (I have it set to speed intervals but have to push the interval button to switch speeds), and as such I have to go by memory on the timing. Turns out there is no third 1.5 minute run in the week 3 plan...but since I added it accidentally the first day, I stuck with it yesterday and will do it again on day 3. Hopefully that little extra will help me on the scary 5 minute runs for week 4.0

I just started W4D1 yesterday, and OMG was it ever difficult to jog for 5 minutes at a time. I can't help but wonder if this is harder for me than EVERYBODY else when I'm doing it!!! I run every other day but my friends wanted to start C25K as well so on my normally "off" days, I'll be starting the program with them from W1D1. I'm so excited to do double duty and also to see how I feel running for 60 seconds only, since that nearly killed me on day one!!! I think this is just what I needed to get through W4 and 5 (I peeked, it's scary! lol)0

Skipped ahead to w2d1 and it was great, a blizzard is coming my way so on Saturday I am going to try and jump ahead to w3d10

Tomorrow will be Week 4 Day 2 for me. Never in a million years did I think I'd be able to run for 5 straight minutes. I'm really enjoying the program so far which is amazing to me as I've always hated running. Feel free to add if you'd like extra motivation/encouragment.0

Just did Week1 day 2 today!0

I'm on Week 6 Day 1 tonight after work. Week 5 Day 3 was sure interesting.0
-
I did W7D2 today but I didn't follow the program this time. I started the app and ran the entire time, through both 5 minute walks for a total run time of 36 minutes. I'm feeling really good about it. I just need to work on my pace so I can hit the 5k mark within 30 minutes. Today was 4.07km in 36 minutes so I have a bit of work to do for sure.
Keep up the good work everybody 0 -
I started c25K on Monday so tomorrow will be W1D2 for me. I'm doing the program with my dog who seems to be enjoying it as much as I am.
I was surprised how easy Day1 felt. I've never been much of a runner so looking forward to the next few weeks.
I don't have any 5k runs planned in the near future. But will look into doing a few later in the year.0 -
Thats awesome! I can't wait to be able to run a full 30 minutes...keep up the hard work!0

Tomorrow is W4D1
It is going to kick my butt. Week 3 was rough.0 -
I'm so happy to find this. I'm doing a c25k. I just got done doing w4d1. I feel llike I can run more endurancewise but my legs aren't quite ready yet. My first 5k is actually 13 days away. I know that I won't be able to run the whole thing but I did 3.4 miles in 44 minutes tonight. I just keep going at a similar pace after my c25k app runs out of time. I run 4 days a week. I am also doing JMBR daily. On my nonrun days, I try to get in a hike anywhere from 2-5 miles. I know that I am doing a lot but when my body tells me to slow down, I do. It just doesn't say that often. 40 pounds ago, it told me to slow down a lot. Not so much anymore.

Did W4D2 last night, outside. Our city is full of hills, so I really pushed me on that 5 minute run. I think I'm going to mix it up and split the workouts between outside and on the treadmill. The dog loves to come with me, so it will most likely be 2 days outside and finish up Day 3 on the treadmill.0

Week 4, Day 3 - Lacking motivation today. I want to do it. I am going to do it. I should have already done it. I know I will feel good once it is done but I cant seem to get my butt up and get ready.
Not sure what it is that is making me feel this way!0 -
feel free to add me, guys!
I just did W2D1 yesterday & I'm loving it so far!0 -

You'll feel so much better after your done, you wont regret doing it so get out there and do it!
I am only on week 1, I cannot imagine I will ever be able to run for 30 minutes =(0 -
completed W4D1 this am and I feel GREAT! Like I can conquer the world, great. I don't know when the last time I ran a 1/2 mile was, but I did it twice today! WOO-HOO. I am so grateful to have a healthy body that can rise to this challenge, I kept expecting to be sore, to be get shin splints, to have a hard time catching my breath, and instead, I find with the proper mental attitude I can and have achieved all the goals in c25k to date.
Great big thank you to who ever designed this program, I wouldn't even know what to do without it. Great big thank you to everyone on this thread, you give me something to look forward to, and you encourage me with your challenges and success.

I did Week 1 Day 2 this morning. I felt like I was struggling the first few run sets but the second half felt a lot better. Felt amazing once I was finished though.
I ran further today then I did on Day 1 according to my run app so thats a bonus :happy:0 -
Finished Week 4 Day 1. Did really good. Also did P90X Chest & Back today. My pace was a little slower because my kids ran/walked with me the first 14 minutes or so. Really proud that the 5 min runs didn't hurt much and felt like I could have done more.0

Today is Week 3 Day 2 for me. Not looking forward to it as I decided I would add in some body weight exercies on my off days. Too many squats. Walking is painful today. haha Still, going to get my butt out there even if I have to super power walk. Now, where did I put my leg warmers...

My problem doing the c25K on a treadmill is I tend to push myself too much in the early run sections and die in the end. Just finished week 4 day 1. I did week 1 and 2 at 7MPH runs and 3.5 MPH brisk walks. Week 3 was at 6.5 and 3.5. Week 4 was at 6.3 and 3.2.
What pace do people go at if they know. Too much snow/ice to go outside.0 -
I'm so stuck on my c25k
so frustrated! I should be on week 5, but did HORRIBLE on week 4 last week. So badly that I've reverted back to week 3 this week. I love week 3, I feel so good doing it! But I want to conquer week 4! and I just can't! HELP! 0 -
I just did week 6 day 3 yesterday, but I think I'll do it once again tomorrow before moving onto week 7. I find it hard now, both mentally and physically. I need to make a good playlist - I start getting bored after a while. And I feel overheated after running, let's say, 15 minutes or so - I don't know what to do about that.0
