Hello everyone!

I just started my C25K journey today and felt great afterwards! I must admit there were a few hills where I was hoping the app wouldn't tell me to start running, but otherwise I came out great!

I can't wait until Tuesday to do the second run!

If you are participating and would like to be friends, just look me up.

Robert

    Well done!

    I know what you mean about hills! The route I run is full of them. :-) I hope you have a great run on Tuesday! This program is awesome. :)

    Well done to you, and everyone else on here doing C25K :-)

    I've just completed W1 of 5K to 10K, and its great, a few months back I couldnt run for 30 seconds!

    I know what you mean about the hills - My town is full of them and they're awful! But I do find them much easier now - keep at it :-) xx

    Thanks everyone! I did W1D2 on Tuesday and my wife joined in, it was great! I chose a flatter route this time and it was much easier, but I didn't feel as accomplished.. :) This evening will be W1D3, I'm so eager to go or to do more, but I don't want to mess up a good thing.

    That is my current plan after completing the C25K. I want to keep going and see what comes of it..

    Thank you everyone for your encouragement!

    W1D3 is in the books, still loving it. Running is something I never thought I would enjoy, so I'm quite surprised.

    I got my shoes swapped out today. Now that I am working on the 2 minute run sections I have noticed some pain in my arch from the shoes and also some knee pain.

    They swapped out my other shoes for a pair of Brooks Beast a full size larger. It appears my other shoes were also too small. I am looking forward to taking them for a run tomorrow.
