    For some, it is too hard to start. I suggest two things to make sure you are ready.

    -1 Walk the distance you will run/walk.
    -2 Do some leg training including squats, lunges, leg lifts and crunches - may as well throw in a few push ups while you are at it. You can do this 2 days a week with a 1 or 2 miles walk, and run your C25K the other three.


    I am p,anning idling the 30 day shred on my c25k off days...you think that would help?

    I'm supposed to start week 4 today, but I am still having a hard time with the 3 minute running... so I think I'm going to repeat week 3

    I also do 30DS on the days I don't run lol I can't do them on the same day now that I've started the 3 minute running... the 1.5 minute running is a piece of cake to me now lol

    I know it's been posted before and often, but I think about this every time I head out running in the daylight:

    Got through week 3, due to work and life took 2 weeks off and just restarted week 2 last night. I felt SO STRONG! Just stick with it- you are getting more fit even if you don't feel like you are!
