W4D1 is 2 X 3min intervals of running & 2 X5min intervals of running. I was a little scared with the 5 min runs, but I did ok.0

I am doing this again. Before I got sick in november I got to week 6 (it took me a few months, I was doing it outside). But I started again earlier this month and am on week 4 for the second week in a row. I redid week 4 because I am breaking in new shoes.0

Morning! Just did W4D3. Added in 2 extra minutes of jogging. Went for 18 mins jog / 7 mins walk for 2.0 miles. I'm okay with 12.5min/mile for now.0

When I started C25K I was trying to do aerobics on the days I wasn't running but it made my knees hurt. Now I'm running 3 days a week and doing yoga after my run. Then I'm doing pilates and strength training for my arms 2 days a week. I just did my 1st day of week 3 yesterday and I was able to do it (2 times running 3 minutes straight). I was huffing and puffing by the end and felt like I needed a nap but I felt better after a hot bath and lunch. I'm hoping week 3 gets easier for me because week 4 is going to be tough. I'm just going to see how I do with this and do an extra day if I feel like I need it.0

Yesterday i did week 3 day one didn't get thur the first 3 min. run but made it thur the 2nd one. Made it thur both 90 sec to. so i would say that is a good run. I was also my first time running on a treadmill and find it kinda wider to run on it even to walk on it.0

Starting week 4 today. A little nervous about it because it's the first time running more than walking. I did pretty well on week 3 the other day. I was able to run 3 minutes with no problem so I hope I can do this. More worried about week 5 to be honest. I couldn't do the work out dvds (aerobics) on my off days because my calves got really swollen and miserable. So now I do the c25k monday, wed, and friday. I do a yoga dvd the same day I run. Then on Tuesday and Thursday I do Pilates, pushups, and weights for my arms.0

Did W5D2 yesterday and added in another minute of jogging. So did 17 mins jogging & 8 mins walking for 2.0 miles. Tomorrow is D3....hopefully I do the full 20 mins running!0

Just noticed this thread and wanted to add my encouragement: well done all of you! I started two years ago this July with the C25K program. It kicked my bum, but I stuck to it! Now I've done three half marathons and am training for my first marathon this July. Stick with the plan because it works!
Run on!0 -
Be careful not to work your legs too hard in addition to the running. I was getting some killer leg cramps when trying to do aerobics on my off days from running. My calves were rock hard and swollen. I work other muscle groups on the days I don't run.0
-
I usely do elliptical on my off days of running and yoga one day a week I also work my abs every other day to. Like I said before I don't care how slow I run I can work on speed latter or if a week takes longer I just want to run my first 5 k. As far as more well see about that after I get done with my 1 st one.0
-
I ran my 5k on Saturday, and I was not dead at the end of it! It was really fun, and I already signed up for another one. The program definitely works. Anyone else getting close?0
-
Noelle way to go on your 5k was it easier then the last time you ran a 5k? When is your next 5k? Today I did week 4 day one and it went good made it threw all 3 5 mint runs Wednesday will be my 2 8 mint runs and we will see how it goes I am a little nervous.
How is every one doing?0 -
Okay I am nervous about today work out I have been doing the c25k program and well tomorrow is my first 20 min run and my first run where I don't have walking time during the run. Maybe I am making it out to be a much bigger deal in my
mind then it is. I just can't believe I am running for any amount of time never would have image that I could do this at all. Well talk with you all latter.0 -
I did it ran 20 min stright not the fastest started out with an incline but that didn't last and like I said it was slow only a 3.3 at the end. But I ran it.0
