Week 5 day 1 completed. Walked 15 miles the same day. Today I gave it a rest, my legs are in pain.
Did you say 15 miles in one day? This is like 24 km:noway: Wow this is a lot0 -
I got running again today. 40 mins 2.83 miles. I hope to be able to do 3.1 miles in 40 mins by the end of February, then I have a month to build up some speed before my 5K in April.
Glad I met my goal for the week!!0 -

Yes, I was devastated and slept like a baby. I had so many errands to run and kids to pick up that made my day. Having three kids is a god workout. 15 of those km were done pushing a stroller. My fitbit does not account for that. I probably burned an extra 1500 calories. 0 -
Amazing job gnocolla!
I have rested my knees for more than 3 weeks now. My knee pain has gone now, thank God. I hope it never comes back. So the question is when should I start jogging again and HOW do I do that?
I jogged very slowly today for 5 minutes. I think if I do 5 min run 2 to 3 times a week and do elliptical that should be okay. What do you guys think?0 -

I think that sounds like a great start - ease back into it and hopefully you'll be golden. If it comes back though, I'd seek some medical advice.0 -

I agree with the previous comment. Knee pain is not ok when running, you can damage your legs badly. I would definitely consult a sport medicine doctor and see what he/she suggests.0 -
Update on the c25k.
I finished it at about week 7. I can run 25 minutes continuously.
So, I started again from w1d1. This time I am going for speed.
I used to run at 5 MPH, now I increased to 6 MPH. Let see if it works. My heart rate today was 165 and above in the 1-minute runs. I need some training, my heart was exploding.0 -
I am starting on March 1. Depending on how week one goes, I am going to sign up for my first 5k in May.0

Well done guys, killing it!0

I just finished Week 8, Day 1 - I "ran" for 28 minutes. I covered 2 miles in 32:30. I know that is not fast by any stretch - but it is my personal best. My goal is to run my entire 5K on April 7th. I'll be glad when I can get outside - damn weather in the midwest!!0

You still have more than a month to work on the 5K. But for me you ran for 28 minutes, that is a great achievement:flowerforyou: Well done.
Back in January I could jog for 18 minutes but since then I am not running because I had knee pain and every now and then I run for 5 minutes on treadmill but it is still little iffi....0 -

Still hurts? Sorry to hear that.0 -
Finished up week 8...one more week in the training and then I will start to work on speed. Thanks to all of your for the encouragement!0

Have you run for 5 kms straight? How long it took you?Finished up week 8...one more week in the training and then I will start to work on speed. Thanks to all of your for the encouragement!0 -
Nope - haven't ran the entire 5k yet....I've only made it about 3.3k so far....I'm hoping to change that this week!!0

For those of you doing the c25k on a treadmill, what is the incline that you are using?0
-
I haven't used an incline. I have heard people suggest putting it on 1. I may try that after this week which is tecnhically my last week.0

Depending on the source, people recommend an incline of anywhere from 1-3.5
I'm currently doing it on 2.5. I know when I was doing it at just a 1, running outside after being entirely on a treadmill totally kicked my butt.0 -
Yesterday I got back on the treadmill! Was able to "run" 25 mins, walked 5 mins, average speed 4.5 mph (I run really slow), made it 2.27 miles. But I was excited that I could still go for so long without stopping. When I run on the treadmill, I put it at a 1.5 incline.
I still have about a month to my 5K and I'm sure I will be able to run the whole thing, might even pick up my speed a bit by then.0 -
Well...tonight I officially "finished" the C25K program. I actually ran outside. I ended up going about 3.7 miles running all but the last block (which is uphill to my house). I'm going to keep at it, increase my speed and be ready for my first offical 5K on April 7th! (And will reward myself with the Bon Jovi concert on April 8th :bigsmile:)0
