Week 6 Day 3 tonight! I can't run until 8pm tonight though. I never run that late, I hope I have enough energy.0

My first time around I made it to W6 and fell off. I have started over and I am now on WK1 again. Anyone feel free to add me. OP I will send you a request!0

I'm on week 4 day 3, finding it hard but good - I was very breathless after 5 mins running and my legs ached, but I made it. Doubt it was even 12 mph though! For those of you that are further ahead, what's the hardest week do you think?0

There is an active C25K group also0

Week 5, it has 3 different runs and the last one is 20 min straight. The first time I did C25K I did the first 2 runs 3 times ech cause I was scared to do the 20 miin straight. Finally got up the nerve and managed it. I have never had such a big smile on my face as when I hit the 15 min mark and realized I could do this!!!
Just remember you CAN do this, 5 minutes is great. especially because you pushed through with sore legs. Next time it will be easier. If you have to repeat a week or even just a day do so and keep going. Speed comes later ( I hope:laugh: ) just keep running!!!
Good Luck0 -

I'm stuck after week 3 I get through the first 3 minute run OK on week 4 but can't manage even the first 5 minute run all the way through. I spent another week on week 3 but it hasn't gotten any easier and I'm starting to lose motivation to continue...any advice??0

Hi Steve- I went though the C25K program to help me prepare for a 5k that I'm running in in about 5 weeks. Loved it, it really helped me but I'm also stuck at 12 - 12.5 mph. I run/walk outside 3 -4 times a week and love it but think that for me I need to build up my endurance so this week I'm starting a 2 mile walk/run and 1 mile on my treadmill - Devil canyon setting.. it's a killer.. it's actually a hard fast walk as I burn more calories doing that than running. Congrats to you!.. Keep up the good work!..0

Is it your legs being sore or are you completely out of breath?? If you're out of breath try slowing right down ,(so you're still jogging but could probably walk faster) stay at that pace and compete your 5min. If its your legs I really would try to just push through. They feel like spaghetti sometimes but unless there's a sudden sharp pain,its fatique and not an injury.
If you still can't complete it do week 3 again. No shame in that!!. Maybe try to push yourself to 4 min and work up that way. Don't get discouraged, we all hit a point that slows our progress ( mine was week 6 and week, repeated both). You'll get there !!!0 -

I'm going to have a rest day today and then tomorrow I'll attempt it again. I WILL do it tomorrow!!! I'm determined, even if its just a shuffle! Its a mixture of aching legs and I have mild asthma which goes crazy when I exercise so it feels like my lungs are going to explode!0

Hi all
My first post.
Started C25k on Saturday, 1st & 2nd run were hard but OK, did 3run last night and only got half way through it, i got a bad pain in the back of my leg.
Im running on the treadmill at the gym and was wondering if it's any easier on the legs running outside.

I DID IT I DID IT I DID IT!!!!!! I finally completed the week 4 run, both 5 minute jogs and everything!!! The buzz of finally achieving it completely makes my aching legs worth it. I'm back in love with running0 -
