    Been a few days since I checked in. not a great weekend. But I did Week 4 Day 2 Thursday night. No issues. Sunday I went running with a couple guys from church and didn't follow C25K. I did a total of 45 minutes starting with a 15 minute run, with several other 5 minute runs.. Gonna do Week 5 Day 1 tomorrow. I am running with these same guys next Sunday, So my goal is to do 20 minutes, then run walk.

    So cool how many people are doing C25K! I'm on week 2 day 3 today. I may do one more day of week 2 before hitting week 3. I've done it before and never finished. This time, I will finish! Feel free to add me!
  • I'm sorry, but what is C25K?

    Couch to 5k

    way for people new to (or long time away from) running to start running again with a short term goal of getting you ready to run a 5k in 8 - 9 weeks.

    Basic idea is run a little, walk a little until you get to longer and longer stretches of running and shorter and shorter stretches of walking until you can run 30 minutes without walking.
  • I just started :) I want to run a 5k before the end of summer! Feel free to add me :)

    Hello all! I was not a runner when I started and completed the C25K last year and completed some 5K races, I followed that with the 10K and did the same completed a few races here and there. In December of last year I did the 13.1 for pink by Zen labs ap and in March I completed my first half marathon. The applications are great and have greatly helped me in my weight loss journey!

    Awesome!!! How do you feel about D3? I feel silly for worrying about D2 in hindsight of last night's run but D3 is VERY scary. I was purple and about 1000 degrees after the 10 minute experiment I did on my last interval yesterday lol

    I ran for 15 minutes to start week 4 day 3. I was running with some guys from church who can do 10 milers easy. I am going to run with them again this Sunday and am confident I can do it. I think now it is just breaking through the mental barriers. We will see.
