Hi.
I'm looking for people who plan to start the C25K running program in the new year. I've talked about starting for ages and made some half-hearted attempts at the treadmill. Time to get serious.

Anyone interested?

    I'll join you!!! I started it a while back and made it to week 3. I haven't managed to make it to the gym in a few weeks now. I'm thinking of just starting over. I'm hoping that if I join a group I'll stick with it this time. I need someone to make me accountable!!!!

    :happy: I'll give it a shot. I just looked at the site and it appears to be doable for me (old leg injuries--and just a "bit" older than you!). I just started the 30 Day Shred and want something to do on the days in between.
    I'll be doing my running inside, though, for now. I don't want to get too far from a surface I can collapse on! :laugh:
    When do we start?

    I'm in! I've done a couple of trial days and I think it's totally doable (at least week 1 :laugh: ). I've never run or jogged but love to walk... so let's give it a shot!! :flowerforyou:

    I'm in, too. I've started already but I took a week off around the holidays and had to move back to Week 3 when I started again yesterday. I just consider myself 3 weeks ahead of my own schedule because originally in September I had planned starting in January. You guys will catch up to me in no time, I'm sure because I've been struggling to get past week 4 for a couple weeks now.

    I'd like to do this as well. Have started it a couple different times, but never made it past week 3. I do a lot of the walk/jog intervals, so being able to complete a 5K would be a good goal. When are we starting?

    I'm in too! I've already downloaded it all and was going to make it my new years goal. I've never ran a day in my life, but soon will be a runner!

    Did a trial run :wink: yesterday and think I can do this. I may find myself staying at the different weeks longer than it says but that's okay, too. :smile:

    I've downloaded a podcast and now have to figure out how to get it on my new phone! :tongue:

    I do a lot of walking but haven't run in YEARS so I'm going to take it slow. I don't want to give up on this. :happy:

    I'm in as well! I plan to start tomorrow (January 1st). If we all start within 2 or 3 days of eachother that should be good. Are we tracking measurements and weight? I plan to measure and weigh tomorrow...

    Me, me, me!! I was planning on starting the C25k program next week, and I would be sooo happy to have a group of people to run with and be accountable to...

    Long story short, I did a C25k-type program in 2003 and then ran in two 5 mile races that summer (=8k for the metric folks), so I can guarantee you that it works, if you stick to it!! I had never run before I started, and although I never did get excited about doing the actual workouts beforehand, I was always thrilled with my accomplishments afterward. But then, I got complacent after the wedding, and then there were a few pregnancies... lots of "excuses" not to run.

    I'm done with the excuses, and ready to roll! Or should I say, ready to run?!

    Let's be real... it's new years day and too much good football on to start. Saturday seems more realistic... even God took a day to rest! And I actually did my Shred video before going out last night! That counts for something right??
