Ceci - love it, I do have a beer removal service t shirt and used to have aluminman tshirt - chill, chug, crush, like me it went way past it's sell by date
upsaluki - ticker has been there from day one, I've noticed that sometimes there is a numeric code at the bottom of posts that is a bulletin board reference to the ticker, I think, sometimes it does not retrieve correctly.
I am now reformed, well sort off. Have fun. Will be supporting my childhood rugby team tonight, the mighty Quins.0 -

Week 6 day 1 is history. 43 and a little breezy here this morning. I'm going to have to update my gear for cooler weather. Just when I received a bunch of headsweats hats in the mail too.0

I must have missed you doing w5d3, well done, you will enjoy the rest of the programme. I look forward to hearing about your continuing success0 -
Thanks. It was pretty fun. I seem to enjoy the longer runs better than the interval runs. It's easier to maintain my mindset when I'm not waiting for the phone to tell me to walk for awhile.Week 6 day 1 is history. 43 and a little breezy here this morning.

Are you inside or out? I find I clock watch inside but not outside.
I started C25k on 15 June, finished it 5 august, continued the programme onto C210k and will finish it next week. However went HM distance this morning in 2hr33min by doing 5min run, 1 min walk intervals. I would never have done it in a single all out effort. I don't mind either continuous or run/walk intervals. I know the overall pace is better with continuous but I can go further with run/walk intervals. Have signed up for a HM in March, not bad for someone who could not run for 5 mins at the start of June. Have fun and hope it inspires people to understand what is possible0 -
Thought I would share this here. I ran my first 5K today!!! My official chip time was 29:44!!! I NEVER even thought I would go below the 30 minute mark!!!
Keep on going fellow runners! You can do it!0 -

Fantastic, well done. It is truly amazing what we can do, if we apply ourselves. I am so pleased for you. :happy:0 -
Completed W6D3, much better than the other 2 runs this week, could almost say 'enjoyable' lol!!0

Awesome job! Did you find running with others gave a boost to your pace?

I started on c25k at the beginning of May, and posted my initial progress here. I travelled a lot for work over the summer, and stopped posting. But I kept plugging on (and logging my runs) and I've been running for half an hour 3-ish times a week for the last few weeks. Today I did a 5k race! The chip times haven't been released yet, but it was a few minutes faster than I thought I could do. (and a bunch slower than 30 mins). I want to echo,and congratulate, angf0679 - keep on going because if you follow the program you will get there!0 -

Wow. That's some really fast progress. Good work.

Finished W5D3!!!!!!! YAY!!!! I REALLY slowed down for today's run. I have been re-running W5D2 for the last week or so while my hubby caught up to me (and I was scared out of my wits if I wanted to be completely honest) My last run on Friday I ran it at an average pace of a 9.18 minute mile and felt like I was going to DIE after the 8 minute run, today I ran a mile at 14.31. Am I embarrassed by my speed... NO WAY! My goal was to finish the run, and I DID! I will get stronger, and faster, but today I just wanted to make it 20 minutes.0

I am so pleased for you, the first 20 minuter is a mind game. I am glad you came through it. I also look forward to you getting to 30 minutes in a few weeks time and graduating the programme. Well done.0 -
Great job! Slower seems to be the ticket for c25k. I know slowing down has helped me to keep going, and doing it again after your rest day is the biggest thing.Finished W5D3!!!!!!! YAY!!!!
