Hi everyone! Completed W1D1 yesterday on the treadmill. 4.16 miles (with the warm up/cool down) at a speed of 5.0 and zero incline. I had a little pain in the inside of my heal during the first run, but it went away during the first walk and never came back (thankfully). Felt great overall. Eventually I'll make it outside again, I usually do once I get too bored with the treadmill. Anyone else on the treadmill?

I tried the treadmill but ended up injuring myself, now I am a dedicated outdoors runner. The worst day was last week, I did my run at -25C, not such a great idea,lol. But otherwise, anything warmer than -10C is fine for running. You need to stick to what works best for you, keep on going:)

A month later than originally planned but I FINALLY made it here! I completed C25K on Friday with a 40 minute 5k, so I wasn't anticipating any problem with Week 1, and Day 1 was incident free. I knocked the speed back to 4.5mph to be on the safe side but I'll pick that up a bit next time.

All of my running has been done on the treadmill so far - it doesn't seem to suit everyone but I'm happy with the progress I'm making

WTF ive done c25k and have done 7 k on the treadmill then i picked up 2 injuries so have had 2 weeks off which included copious amounts of beer ................................but ive committed to a 10 k in June so downloaded an app/podcast so there i am amongst athletes either side going hell for leather on their treadmills so decide to up my speed by 1.0k i thought yea i can do this for 10 min with a break and then some more .............................................................what happens there's no break im running for 30 min eventually gave in at 20min .........................................................i have to review the blooody podcast it was meant to be 4x10min runs which i think i could have done ...........................................never mind back to the drawing board :bigsmile:


I WILL DO THIS I WILL RUN/JOG A 10K THIS IS A PROMMISE I MAKE TO ALL MY MFP FRIENDS

Hi everyone - done C25K and did my first race on Sunday in 30.37. I am signing up for a 10km on 2nd September in Glasgow, Scotland and started Bridge to 10km today. Looking forward to being part of this group!

Hello B210K ers
Made it through my first run session today (W1D1) and even added 5 minutes to the end of the run... WooHoo... Great run this morning. I am kinda glad I challenged myself to go for 50 minutes on my last C25K run (and I am really glad my body was able to put up with it... LOL) b/c it helped with my merging into this program. I am still quite amazed at how far I have come with the running with my 12 weeks of C25K and then today. Great stuff. Looking forward to my Thursday run. Keep it comin'. Great job to all here staying Active. Keep it up everyone.

Hi all!!! This evening I completed B210K WEEK 1 DAY 1.

Here are the details:
- Ran outdoors and it felt GREAT! I normally run inside on the treadmill and thought I preferred this but I think outdoor running may be growing on me.
- Did the 5 minute warm up beforehand.
- 44 minutes per the program directions - 353 cal burned/Avg HR 78%.
- Intentionally was working on keeping my HR low. Try to get stronger base. I'll work on speed as the weeks progress.
- No idea how much distance I covered. That's okay.
- When I need to start paying attn to distance, I will measure it on the treadmill.

Anyone who's serious about the B210K training, please friend me. I'd love for us to cheer each other on! :flowerforyou:

Either I woke up crazy this morning or just really energized :happy: b/c on my session this morning (W1 D3) I added (1) 10 minute interval to the run instead of doing (4) like the program sugests. I did the 5 minute warmup and a 10 minute cooldown which was sooo needed. I made it through without to much trouble. My legs did feel like jello when I was complete but I am glad I went the extra mile (literally)... LOL Now I am ready for Week 2 and those 15 minute intervals. Looking forward to my next dose of running on Monday.

P.S. I remembered to stretch before and after the session. Sooo important. And plenty of water... I hope.. before...during... and after the run.

Great job helloothercup!! Way to get your run in today. I found those 1 minute rests helped me get some water without bouncin' up and down during the jog...LOL. Looking forward to my run W6D2 session tomorrow. Not looking forward to the 35 degrees I will get to run in though...brrrr.

Finished Week 1! Didn't hit 4.2 miles this time because it was suuuuper windy and I took it realllly slow. No regrets. At least now I know that I can still run in winds gusting up to 33 mph. Not sure I'll do that again. -_- Bring it on, Week 2!

I'm here to join you guys - W1D1 of B210K complete and I'm excited about the rest of the programme

Good to see a revival of this thread. I completed C25K mid March and I've just been meandering along since then without any real structure to my runs, so following this programme over the next few weeks will be great. I'm considering registering for a 10K event in July but before that I'm doing a 5K on 5 May.

WK1, D1 begins tomorrow.

W1D1 was a success! I finished C25k in Oct. but got injured in Jan. I just now got to the point where I feel comfortable adding distance. Today went really well, I ran further than I've ever run before, over 4 miles! Excited to continue with the program.

That's similar to liking lunges. Admirable but wow. Of course, I like hills (except when I hate them).

Completed day 2, week 1 yesterday evening :happy:

Hi Mamakira,

After successfully completing my first 5K on 5th May, I've decided to register for an evening 10K run in July. In October there's the Munich half marathon but I don't think I'll be ready for this. I may just do a further 10K, which may be my limit (for now anyway).

What about yourself, have you any events in the near future?
