You'll do great. Don't worry about speed, just keep your feet moving.1 -
W4D3 complete. Coming back from an illness but this run felt great. Mind over matter. I'm about 10lbs heavier than I'd like to be for high impact exercise sake, but my body is handling these runs much better than expected.3

Good job everyone for all of your good work!
I have severe back aches from time to time and can totally relate... Get well soon!0 -
Hey guys. It's been a while since i finished c25k, but i wanted to share my progress with you.Take a look at the 2 runs below and why we say to take it slow.Speed comes with time and distance.
I will never be one of those people that can run a 5k in 20' , my body is not built for it. I think 30' is not an unrealistic goal though.7 -

Week 4 Day 2 finished!5

Done!
W4D3 complete
Annoyingly, I'm away on a 5 day residential course tomorrow morning so I don't know if I'm going to be able to start week 5.
I'll take my running gear with me, but if I fall off the radar for a few days then I've very much not given up, just unable to run or update here.
Nice little message popped up on my app when I finished today, apparently most people who get half way go in to successfully complete the program So, there is hope!

Finished W6D2 today. The app reminded me that it had been over a week since I had run. Yes, I know but after two chiropractic treatments and an ultrasound I finally got back out there. My stride was off and I was hesitant because of the ice/snow covered sidewalks but my stamina was still good. That was a relief. I worried I would lose momentum after the back incident.5

@woodwardtm we are on the same day! I am hoping to get mine done tonight.... Glad your back hasn't slowed you down too much..... I know how debilitating it can be! 2

Not so much. Ended up with insomnia (happens from time to time) so at about 4 am I reset my alarm to my after treadmill time thinking if I was awake, I'd go, but if I was still sleeping, I needed that more. Slept until the alarm went off.
I'll tackle it tomorrow.1 -

I was snowed in this week and it is finally melting. I planned to put my shoes on this evening after work but I was up at 430 am and just couldnt do it. I am on W5D3. 20 mins is psyching me out. But tomorrow morning I will get it done. Pinky swear.2

After a lot of traveling for work I finally had the time to do the program today!
Week 8 Day 1 complete
2 -
Week 7 day 2 is done. Nice running conditions here. I'm ready for Spring.3

Came home from work yesterday and had a nap. Felt better after dinner so started to walk on the treadmill watching hockey. Second period I decided what the hell and turned on my phone for the W5D3 and did it. Started at my usual 4.5 mph, slowed to 4 at the 10 min mark and to 3.5 with 2 mins left. Didn't like my HR. Next time I will start at 4 and leave it there.
My team lost though. They should win if I'm running on the treadmill during the game. Just seems fair to me.4 -
W5D1 complete. With each workout I'm feeling more and more like a runner! Going from feeling like death after jogging for 30 seconds to a minimum to someone who can jog 5 min at a time is something I can't believe. This program has me surprising myself.6
-
Week 4 Day 3 is complete! I never thought I would actually make it this far! There is definitely a mental block that I need to work through before starting Week 5.3
-
W6D3 done today on the slippery snowy trails at the state park. Slow pace but twice the work just trying to get traction.4
-
I did it! W5D3! 20 mins non stop. Not bad at all. I even ran uphill for the last 5 mins! I was slooooow. But I kept my feet moving. It was not nearly as hard as I thought it would be.8

@jennypapage A perfect example of why so many experienced runners keep saying not to worry about your speed, just keep putting in the distance and the speed will magically start coming around.jennypapage wrote: »Hey guys.

As you add more distance on your runs your whole Cardio-Vascular system improves, Leg-Body strength and General Technique which all cause your speed to slowly increase.
Quite often I don't use a Running Watch, but rather with just a simple cheap Wrist Watch that just tracks basic time on my feet.3 -

That's right @juliet3455. i have worked my distance up to 11k and aiming for the 15k mark. I felt the change on my speed when i was training from the 5 to the 10k. That's when my legs stopped feeling so tired while running.I'm guessing that was the point my leg muscles and bones finally caught up.1 -
Did W5D1 yesterday and W5D2 today. Eight minute runs are tough, but not terrible. Looking forward to a 20 min run on Tuesday! 4
