Good job especially when you had already done zumba:) Next run will be Saturday then?0 -
Hey, I'm new to fitness pal and c25k, I started last Thursday, totally unfit... I am struggling with week one, I can't run so I dont know if my attempt at jogging is good enough. I've done it six nights out of the eight and my pace according to the app is averaging between 12 - 13 minutes per mile (with maximum effort) Does anyone know if this is way too slow? I don't mind repeating the week as many times as I need to get up to pace, would just be nice to have a vague idea of where I should be at.
Thanks for setting up the group....

I am no guru on running but my advise will be go slow as it is only the first week. You must have fatigue here and there. Take gaps as the program suggests and try to do it 3-4 times maximum. Once the soreness is gone then c25k will be increasing the jogging time anyway as the weeks pass. The actual 5k that you will do in the beginning will be of 40 min and then slowly you will be improving your time. At this stage dont push yourself too hard. May be more experienced users might suggest something different. But thats my view on it and i will be doing it slowly because running is not my thing either:)0

Unfortunately I did NOT start yesterday like I had hoped. We had to deal with Teen Angst Meltdown. Which left me with a migraine and going to bed before I did something illegal that involved hiding the body *grin*. Hopefully today will be better. Can we do the C25K thing in the house if we don't have a treadmill? It's raining cats and dogs outside and I would really rather not stand out in the rain in January LOL!!0

C25K in the house? It depends on the size of your house. I think it does not matter as long as you manage to do it. May be you do it tomorrow. Good luck!0 -
I am going to give this a try! I printed out the treadmill version - hopefully by the end of the training, it will be nice enough to run outside!0

What is the treadmill version?0

Well I wound up using my hallways. Luckily they go in a straight line so I ran from the front bathroom back to our bedroom, back and forth. Maybe not completely the best way to do it but I did it and burned almost 400 cals for it and thought I was going to collapse...I'd call that a win! Woot!!0

Thank you for starting this thread. I had never heard of c25k until tonight.
I've checked out the website and I'm in. Will start in the next week.0 -
Way to go! You did it! 0

Did not run at all this week.
I have guests leaving tomorrow and after that I'll be back to my gym routine. I need to finish week 3, but I might have to start it again.0 -

I did my first 5k on January 6th (Biggest Loser Run/Walk) and my second one on January 13th. I am not able to run due to a bad knee that has already had 3 surgeries on (and will eventually need replacement), so I walk it. I am averaging an 18 min mile and bettered my time in the second one by 9 seconds. I am looking for a 3rd one in February. I found one that is an off-road one with "optional' obstacles (another Biggest Loser one just south of where I live). I am working on training a bit more specifically for that one.
I encourage anyone who is not able to run to consider walking it...there are quite a few that are run/walk type of events. My only goals.... 1- finish without injury and 2- try to get in under an hour. I succeeded with both 0 -

What is the treadmill version?
I googled the couch to 5k and found a website that showed how many minutes to walk/job on the treadmill. I started my 2nd week today. I'm going pretty slow right now. I've never ever been a runner and by never ever I mean NEVER! Not even when I was younger. With week one, I did the work out 3 times (every other day, Fr/Su/Tu). The two days between the first week and the second week (W/Th), I did the week one workout, only I increased the speed of my running by .2. I went from 3.5 to 3.7. Again, I know I'm not a speed demon, but it is working for me! Hopefully by the time I can actually run outside (when it is warmer and it is actually daylight after work) I will be able to "run"!

I did day 3 on Monday but then got really sick and haven't been able to pick it up again since then. I hope to be able to start again soon, I think this cold is finally starting to go away.0

Hope you can start again. It is very motivating program!0

I think so that my speed is quite slow for now. But I am quite okay with it. It is the couch potato who is running not Mr Bolt:)0
