Hello everyone! I'm looking to start c25K (again) next week 4/21. If there's anyone else who cares to join in starting with me feel free to post here! I'll probably put the days up here weekly too for those joining in!
I also started a Skinnyo challenge here:

Now is always a better time to start
Looking forward to hearing how Week 1, Day 1 goes for you!0 -
It's getting close! So here's Week 1. All 3 days are the same. Do them on whichever days work for you.
Warm-up 5 minutes. Alternate 60 seconds jogging/power-walking with 90 seconds walking. Repeat 8 times for a total of 20 minutes. Cool down 5 minutes.
Some wisdom I've read in many different places:
If you can run slower, you're running too fast.
Good Luck!0 -
No matter how many times anyone restarts the C25K, it's always another step forward. I'd join you if I wasn't already doing it. W5D1 tomorrow.0

I am going to do this with you guys! Been wanting to try the C25K for a while, so here it goes! Thanks for starting this!:flowerforyou:0

Good luck to you all on this.
The hardest step is the first one out of your door.
so many people will give you advice and support when you need it.
Some runs may be tough and a lot of it is mental attitude also so be prepared for demons telling you that you can't do it.
You CAN!!0 -
I'm starting this week too! First step to my marathon training. Boston 2014 here I come! Beyond excited!0

I started Saturday. Nice run in the neighborhood for D1, and at a nature preserve for D2. Running with my second grader, and I'm having so much fun. Plus, my new shoes are awesome. Let's do it!0

Im in! I I did the first session today
Good luck everyone!0 -
I also started today! It was tough..I am SO not athletic and running for 3.5 seconds gets me winded LOL But I did it this morning and will be doing the other 2 sessions Wed and Fri. In between, I will do brisk walking on the treadmill. Let's do this!0

great job to those who started as well! Pick the 3 days that work best for YOU! And remember:
If you can run slower, you're running too fast!
Pace yourself and do what you can. Can't jog? Power-walk! It's more effort than just plain walking but not as much as jogging!
Good luck!0 -
Planning W1D3 today, and so looking forward to it! I rested yesterday, but it was such a nice day out--I wanted to run! (Leisurely bike ride around the neighborhood instead).0
-
Count me in too, I completed W1D1 yesterday and was pleasantly surprised that I didn't want to die before it was over.0
-
I completed W1D1 yesterday and I'm planning on doing W1D2 today. I'm probably going to increase my speed. While I loved the workout and felt amazing during and after it also felt too easy. It didn't challenge me but I know that will catch up in the upcoming weeks! It felt so good to make that first start on the journey though!0
-
So happy I seen this! I actually just started myself!
Happy Running!0 -
I have just finished week 1. wow, how out of shape I am. I have 2 months to be able to run 1.5 miles in 15 min. I know this doesn't sound hard to some but I have not run in over 20 years!! So glad that I found this board so maybe I can get and give encouragement because the hardest part for me is actually putting on my shoes and stepping out the door. After that, its all good. 0
-
Two months is a while if you keep working at it I know you can do it! Just take care of yourself, make sure you're eating carbs the night before running and have rest days and don't push too hard.
Why do you need to run 1.5 in 15?
Yesterday I finished w1d2. I increased my running speed because the w1d1 speed I used made the workout almost too easy. It was nice but I was almost bored. Yesterday's workout was good. It was challenging but not hard and I really felt like I accomplished something afterwards. Today is a rest day. Friday will be w1d3. I'll use the same pace I used for w1d2.0 -
Awesome that you all start the program. Good luck for all of you, you have done the hardest step already: made the decision and went for the first or second run.
Keep it up, well done!0 -
I just finished week 3. It is an awesome program. I used to run ALOT, and I've been out of it for months, so for anyone who is wondering if this program works and if it can increase your endurance, the answer is YES!!! I really look forward to my runs every day. I think C25K is just what I needed!0

Did week 1 day 2 yesterday, it was raining outside so I had to run in the gym on the track. I hate the track, but I perservered and it wasn't that bad. Am wondering how it would work on a treadmill?? Would like to try to do that on the yucky weather days instead of the track, just because I really hate running on it...:happy:0
