C25K NSV

I've been doing the C25K program off and on while doing regular dvd workouts. We just moved to a neighborhood a couple weeks ago where I can really do the running regularly. I've been stuck on week 4 doing the jog 5 mins and jog 3 min intervals. I couldn't do the 5 minute ones usually. Well I decided to move on to week 5 and just try it. I was able to do all of the running intervals which were all 5 minutes! After the regular workout I added another 6 minute jog.

I felt so great afterwards like I smashed through a brick wall or something. Next workout is jogging for 8 minutes.

That's awesome!! I have feared almost every new day of the C25K. Now that I'm building confidence in that (wk6), I'm getting nervous about running outside. But one day at a time, right?? PS. There is a c25k group on here that has been a lifesaver for me if you're interested.

Really? I'll have to look for that! I realized that I've got my breathing down. It's my legs that feel like they are going to give out so I just tried my best to ignore my legs and focus on relaxing my upper body and breathing. I tend to tense up which makes it harder on myself.

I did a seach in the groups for c25k and there were a ton of groups that came up, but I think this one is the primary one.
