I did day1 week 9 of c25k today. I run (well jogged - 5.6mph) for 30 mins strait. When I started on Feb 1 if someone would have told me that I would be able to do so, I would have thought they are crazy!!!! I barely could run for 30 secs.

    Yes, I am going to register for a 5k for April 27. I hope I can improve my speed though

    I love C25K! Because of it, I was able to run my first 5K last January. I now am working on my first 10K for June and I'm using the 10K app -- you should give it a try!

    Great job!

    I absolutely LOVE this app! :smooched:

    I feel so good when I complete a day, and I never thought I would be jogging such a distance UNTIL my friend asked me to run a 5K with her last October. I didn't quite run that one much, but I jogged almost the entire 5K we did together this past January. I wasn't fast by ANY means, but it was amazing to know that I only had to walk the extreme uphill section, and the rest I slow jogged (what I call a wog = walking/jogging). I think with this app I have been able to lose these past 35 pounds.

    Great job you for sticking to it and loving your own success! :happy:

    CONGRATS! I feel the same way ~ I'm doing a similar program (mine is called :Get Running" but same concept. And I just said the same thing to my husband... I went from being so out of breath after a minute, yet yesterday I ran for 25 min straight :) (I'm on week 7) Congrats again! I feel so empowered and so proud of myself I want to sign up for a color run! or something fun like it!

    Ugh. I hate to spend even 1.57. I'm too poor and cheap. But maybe I will try the 2 week trial and see how I like it, then decide. I know it shouldn't be a big deal to spend that.

    I just completed W4D1 tonight. Had to really push through that last 5 min jog but I did it! I agree that if you would have told me I could do this a month ago, I wouldn't have believed you!! I'm only at 4.3 mph...what speed are you all jogging at? Just wondering if I should speed it up a little bit.

    I did it at 5.6mph, but I am 5'10" and have long legs :)

    Woohoo! I love seeing posts like this. I'm currently just done W4D3 (after a few tries - I was going too fast on my treadmill at 6.0 so finishing it was always a bit too hard, so I have been here for a couple weeks just to feel comfortable, then I realized I'd set my speed too high - first I need to work at being able to run, next I work on speeding up! After bumping it down to 5.5 I found it challenging but do-able). Way to go with completing the program. You're a runner! ;)

    I can't say I am a runner yet, I am always hard on myself. When I will be able to run 30mins at 6mph - then I will be a runner :)
