W8D2 complete! One more to go before "graduation"0
-
W3D3 done! Feels great0
-
just did week 5 day 2- can't wait for a long running stretch next!0
-
Been struggling. Finished W5D3 long run for 20 minutes last week, very tired, but did it. Did W6 Days 1 and 2 pretty well but cant seem to make the jump to finish the 25 minute run. Tried it twice and seem to poop out around 18 minutes. Part of it is mental-- fear that I won't be able to complete the run since I didn't do the 20 minute run last week as easily as I had hoped. Any advice for this struggling gal? I really want to do this! I don't know what my pace is but I am going slow.0

You may need to slow down even more. Just keep reminding yourself you can do it!0 -
I did W5D3 -again...:) running that 8mins is still challenging for me..I dont dare to move onto W6D1 which 10mins continuous jogging until I have this one under control..
any tips on how to make this leap of faith? 0 -
W3D2 complete this morning.
That session really kicked my *kitten*...............job done though!0 -
W6D2 yesterday, worked me over but I made it.0
-
Finished W7D3 yesterday. W8D1 is on schedule for tomorrow. I did realize that I can either walk really fast or run really slow at my current pace. When I started 8 weeks ago, this pace was exhausting and I considered bumping it down another notch. Yay for progress!!!
Side note: Yesterday during my run on the treadmill, I was fantasizing about doing the Hot Chocolate 5k in October. 1) I am starting to fantasize about running a race! 2) I am psyching myself up to be able to change my race to a 15k by October!
Happy Day!0 -
Finished W4D2 on Sunday
Finished W4D3 on Tuesday0 -
W8D3 on my version of C25K: 28 minute run.
Forced onto the treamill due to heat (I'm in Australia). I HATE treadmills: it's so boring.
Anyway - it's done. I'm starting to ponder on "what's next" after I finish C25K. I don't think I want to enter actual races (the main reason I am doing this is to be able to get off and run alongside a horse on endurance rides) so I think I want to build speed and/or endurance. Might spend some time improving my 5K time (at the moment my running is REALLY slow). Will some intervals help?0 -
Finished W5D1.0

I missed a run last week, so I added an extra one in this week. I ran back-to-back Tuesday and Wednesday and now my legs are soooooore. I'm glad I'm caught up, but I will be sure to only run every second day from now on!0

Just finished W6D3 , modified , warmed up 5 , jogged 30, cool done 4 = 3.1 miles0

W3D3 finished, a week late due to a head cold, but I didn't want to start over, so just finished the day of the week I was on.
Looking forward to week 4 (I think!). 0 -

I've officially finished the C25K program! I ran a 5K this morning, and I'll begin the 10K trainer on Wednesday! If I can do this, anybody can! What a great program :drinker:0

Finished W1D2 (though technically it's day 4, but who's counting...). I'm feeling frustrated because I've actually put on 2 pounds since starting! I've been watching what I eat and staying hydrated, so I doubt it's actual weight gain, maybe just water retention, or swelling? Anyway, it's pretty discouraging, gut I'm going to keep at it
