W6D2 done. It was pretty tough but I completed both run intervals without walking. I think taking 2 extra days off of running helped my knee but made it harder to complete the run. I did do it, though. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to take another extra 2 days off before my next run, too. I may elect to repeat today's run then, rather than progressing to day 3, which is 2.25 miles with no walking.0

Week 4 Day 3 run is done! Nice easy run in perfect weather!
Week 5 is ahead0 -
Finished W8D1 this morning before work. Weird to think in a few days I'll be completing an exercise plan that once seemed impossible, but it gets easier everyday. I frankly can't believe I can run 28 mins without stopping and will soon be able to run a while 5k. Now to just keep it up and work on lowering my time4

Finished W6D3 yesterday. I'm going by time, and not by distance. Completed the 22 minute run. My calves were hurting towards the end, but I reminded myself that I had completed a 20 minute run before, and this was only two more minutes. I finished without walking.1

I have too. I'm a turtle. It'll take me that hour of running just to complete my 5K. OK, probably not that long. But I'm currently at 1.8-1.9 miles, including warm-up and cool-down.0 -

I did W4D1 yesterday. I'm not sure if all the C25K apps are the same but mine was: warm up walk 5 min, R3W2, R4W3, R4W3, R3W2, cool down walk 5 min. While I do remember running 1 minute being tough, this run was by far the hardest for me yet. My lungs were on fire and mentally I struggled against the "I can't do this". I'm proud I kept going though. Day 2 and 3 this week is the same with the middle two runs being FIVE minutes each.
Anyone else struggle at this week? I'm trying to psych myself up for the dreaded week 5!0
