I finished my C25k program today with 30 min jog at a 3.8 pace and 2.06 miles, will continue to develop my endurance until I can run mu first 5k in the spring.

I did it! Today, I finally did it! I started this in June, repeated a few of the early weeks and was definatly getting better when injury struck - Tennis Elbow caused by running with a large water bottle, Started again in Sepember on the treadmill this time (shelf for my water!), repeated a few, got a cold, did a few more weeks, told my friends, watched them catch me and then graduate while I plodded on - But today I Graduated!! I did 5.06K in my 40mins.
Going to move on to C210K now - and I am moving it outside!!
Going to start on Week 5 day 1 as very worried about the transition to outside :ohwell:

BOOM!

Finished today, ran the whole thing at 6 mph which is fast for me (I have posted in a different thread about my attempts to increase speed from my base 5 - 5.2 mph speed)

Not sure what is next. There is a 10km road race in late April that looks super fun since the entire run is down the biggest street in Toronto but so far all the work I have been doing is on a treadmill. Will perhaps train for that or just do 5 km jogs on the treadmill for cardio fitness.

Congrats to all the recent graduates and please add me to the list!!!!!!! Finished W9D3 this morning!

WOW Congratulations on your 5K! Thats an awesome time! Hope you heal up quickly!

Did W9D3 today - my fastest/furthest run yet...2.6 miles in 30 minutes. 11:30/mile. I was 'well impressed' with myself : )

I've downloaded the next set of NHS podcasts which will hopefully keep me movin' on.

Congrats to all of us who have gotten this far and to all who are working their way on up. This is a great program and I love all of the support from the boards here.

Yeah!!!! Congratulations!!! I hope to join you on this board next week:)

I've just found a 5k for the end of February, so I'm thinking of signing up for it!

I finished!!! Today I completed my couch to 5 k. 9 weeks. I finished 2.6 miles in 34 minutes. I still have a little more to go before I actually complete my 3.1 miles, hopefully before my first 5k in April. So, I now feel qualified to share all I've learned, ready:

1. I'm pretty sure that runner's high is really just oxygen deprivation:)
2. I can do more than I've ever thought possible
3. After a morning dusting of snow on our linear trail, the sunrise melts the snow honoring the shadows cast by the split rail fence, leaving perfect "show shadows" of fencing along the trail path. Most of us took care to walk/run around it, leaving the patterns in tact for the next passerby.
4. I need a massage!

I graduated today!!! Week 9 Day 3 complete What a great app. I never thought I could run 3 miles without stopping!!! My first 5k is March 9th so I have over a month to improve my speed. My goal is under 30 mins. Today my run was 11:24 per mile and I didn't try too hard so I think I will easily complete my goal!!! I also have a 10k May 4th and I'm just planning on adding .25 miles each week to my training.

Congrats JessieKanga and Clarkeje1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
