    That's great!!! Congrats! 

    I'm training for a half marathon and my pace is on average between 9:00-9:30/mile. Which I am extremely proud of! Keep up the good work, put on some good music and let the pavement take u away. It gets easier! . The mre and more I train for this half marathon, the more I see it's a mind thing, adding on the additional mikes each week.

    Once again, way to go. Feel free to add me if u want some support on ur running journeys!!

    Good job, I am on W2D1 and I have only ran when in school and was forced to run (over 25 years ago), not sure how far I'll get so kudo's on 20 min non stop.

    That's awesome! So happy for you. I had the same reaction last week when I completed W5D3! Your time is impressive! Congrats!

    This morning I ran 20 minutes without stopping. I know that for some of you that might not seem like a big deal, but it's *huge* deal for me. The last time I ran so long was more than 8 years ago, when I weighed almost 20 pounds less than I do right now. Because this was the first day on C25K with uninterrupted running, I finally got to figure out my pace - 9:40 a mile, which I'm quite pleased with. Anyway, just wanted to brag a little :bigsmile:

    That is kickass!!!! And 9:40 is pretty damn good for anyone. Well done

    Great Job! I'm at W2D1 of my C25K and am sucking wind after running 90 seconds. Not sure if I am dreading the week 5 run or am looking forward to it.

    First off, well done to the original poster for the 20 minute run - I can't wait to get there! And in response to THIS individual reply, I just completed day 3 of week 2, but I had a break of TWO WEEKS between days 2 and 3, for a number of reasons. I was dreading going back to it today, thought it would be murder because I found day 2 to be quite hard. Today's run was actually more manageable than the others had been. I can't WAIT to be able to run for 20 minutes!

    That's awesome!! I'm repeating W4 this week, cause I'm trying to move from the treadmill to outside so I'm running under actual 5k conditions. Turns out I go faster on pavement, and I managed a 15:00 mile! Not amazing for most, but huge for me! I haven't run in like... 15 years!

    Thanks for all the congratulations!

    For all the people struggling with the early weeks, I'm cheering you on! I had to repeat Week 2 because I just felt like I couldn't keep up if I'd moved to Week 3. Don't worry about repeating - anything is faster than sitting on the couch!!

    I'm only on W1D3 but I was impressed with the noticible difference between the first two days. Day 1 I was gassed about halfway through, jogging fairly slow, and my walking breaks were not much more than a crawl. On day 2 (first day with my new Running shoes) I was jogging faster and more consistent, my walking breaks were much faster, and I sailed through it without much difficulty. Now, I know this is only the start of it but after day 1 I was convinced I wouldn't be able to do it. Now I think I might stand a pretty decent chance and am looking forward to my run days!

    Woo hoo! I can't even imagine running that long at this point. I just started the C25K yesterday and was dying doing one minute at a time. :blushing: I've never been a runner, even when I was at my lowest weight, but I want to change that. I can't wait until I can say I ran for 20 minutes straight! You go girl!
