    You can absolutely run more than 3 days a week. Make sure you have one or two rest days, but I did about 5 days per week the whole time, and I had no problem. In fact, I felt great.

    Thanks for all of the information!! Did my last night of the training. IT WAS HARD!! Running a 5K Saturday. I'm going to keep it up as I don't want to start over......it can only get easier, right?

    Kick some bootie in your race!

    Easier? I'm not sure. I think we become slightly sadistic and keep adding more and more challenges so that it stays just as hard or harder. Like adding distance or speed or hills or different terrain. :happy:

    UPDATE--did not run the scheduled 5K on Saturday. After no rain all summer it was a downpour all day Saturday. I didn't know if 5Ks get cancelled due to rain or not--but the 5K was 40 minutes from my home and I didn't want to drive there and risk it. I did run 40 minutes on the treadmill though in place of the "race". Back to running outside today and looking for another 5K to sign up for.
    AGAIN...thanks for all the support . My plan now that I finished the couch to 5K is to keep running 30--35 minutes every other day outside always trying to get further on the path (thus faster). The running outside is the "thing" I want to conquer. :bigsmile:
