Hello all you beautiful determined people! I know it's been asked before but I'm going to throw it out there to see what people are up to these days. If you are doing anything in addition to your c25k what is it and how do you stagger it? (Rest/run days). I've looked into a couple things have have been doing basic body weight exercised so far. Looking to up my effort a little now.

    I do yogilates on Monday
    Run on Tuesday - it's usually a short run, so I might do resistance training if I don't do speedwork
    Weight circuit on Wednesday
    Long run on Thursday
    Weight circuit on Friday
    Easy run on either Saturday or Sunday, "rest" on the other day (my husband works weekends, so I am with the kids. The three-year-old wants to be a "runner girl" so I spent quite a bit of time doing sprints on my tip toes in bad shoes Saturday.)

    I have graduated C25K and started adding on mileage for the week, but my routine is the same for the most part:

    Monday: Easy Tempo Run (3 miles)
    Tuesday: Weight Lifting and recovery run (2 miles)
    Wednesday: Rest
    Thursday: Easy Tempo Run (3 miles)
    Friday: Weight lifting and 15 min HIIT cross training
    Saturday: Long Run (4 miles)
    Sunday: Rest

    I am doing the 30 Day Shred as well. I do C25K on MWF, and 30DS the other four days.

    At the moment:

    Monday: C25K
    Tuesday: Dancing and 30DS
    Wednesday: Dancing and C25K
    Thursday: 30DS
    Friday: Rest day :)
    Saturday: C25K
    Sunday: 30DS

    I also cycle to school for 40 minutes, 5 days per week. But I don't really count that as a ''workout'' since I've been cycling to school since I was 6 and I barely get out of breath...
