    Week 1, day 2 completed. Managed to do more of the running this time, only missed 1 run section which was better. Think I might repeat week 1 next week so I can have a stronger basis before moving up the programme. Will see how the 3rd day goes on Thursday.

    Has anyone paid for the app? I just bought the upgraded version of Rundouble. Otherwise there is only a free 2 week trial. It looks like it won't let me progress so I have to start from day one again. Does that sound right? I have already done 3 or 4 runs but I am only on my first week so its no big deal.

    I completed c25k last June and ran 3 5k's last year. I thought they were so much fun! Took a few months off from running, as it got cold, but got a treadmill for christmas. I restarted in the middle of c25k. I will do week 5 day 1 on Thursday. This year I want to do some 5k obstacle runs. I'm signed up for 5k foam fest, and I'm probably going to sign up for SHAPE Diva Dash (women's run/obstacle). Anyone can add me!

    I really enjoyed the NHS C25K plan. http://www.nhs.uk/LiveWell/c25k/Pages/couch-to-5k.aspx

    You can download the podcasts from the site above or from iTunes. Have fun!!!

    Hello,

    I just decided today that I wanted to set myself a challenge and get back into running sooner rather than later so decided to give the couch to 5k a go. I have literally just started today and did the first workout this morning. Thought it might be more fun with a bit of motivation from others who are planning to start or just starting out so we can cheer each other along.

    I have about 23 lbs to lose and at the moment my fitness is absolutely terrible at the moment but I could run for 30 mins not too long ago so I don't see why I can't do it again. I'm based in the UK so if anyone is just starting the C25K and wants some company too then add me :)

    Hello UK! I am restarting in a couple of days. I am listening to Chubby Jones podcasts off and on and depending on my mood I either do treadmill at the gym or outdoor walk/run C25K programs. I really enjoy this challenge and happy to send you a friend request too :glasses:

    Count me in! I am on week 5 of C25K, but it has taken me longer than 5 weeks to get here. It will be good to have others to help me stay motivated, and keep me on the right track. I am sort of beginning again with the new year, I haven't been good at logging everything. So this is just the support I need, thanks and let's get running!!! :smile:

    I am restarting C25K soon. I completed it a year and a half ago and a knee injury stopped my running for awhile. I will probably start with week 2. Best wishes.

    Hey I used to absolutely hate running. I did the "get running" app the summer before last with my best friend and we both loved it. I am doing it again this year but I also need some running buddies to keep me motivated and accountable. Add me as a friend! I am a slow and sweaty runner but hey even walking is still lapping everyone on the couch right!?

    if you are a nerd like me and like listening to podcasts while running, I love to listen to "Two Gomers Run a Half Marathon" they are hilarious and good motivation, especially season 1 in the beginning when they run their first few miles.

    you should be able to start at any point you want

    i just bought rundouble pro aswell. the only free one that had the whole program didnt have inbuilt gps, and there is no point in a c25k app if you cant track the distance you are running.

    ill be starting at week 1 day 2 cos i want to start week 2 on sunday.

    It seems that I keep downloading and deleting the app, but this time I'm sticking to it. I did Week 1 Day 1 on New Year's Eve but I felt that it could have gone better. So later today (1.2.13) I plan on repeating day 1 instead of progressing to day 2. During the run sessions I seem to stop just a few seconds before the time is up. Good luck to you!
