How is doing c25k? Lets support each other

I am finishing up week 4 today! I am really enjoying it! I am planning to do a 5k on May 25th!

I just SPANKED W5D2 which I have been putting off for 2 weeks. I even did an extra minute for good measure. I'm not terribly fast but I am SO PROUD that I banged out 21 minutes of uninterrupted jogging tonight. So pumped!!!

I'm anxious to finish up Week 1 here, but the rain is not cooperating. Ugh! If it doesn't clear up later, I'll do a Jillian workout and shift my running till tomorrow, but I'm anxious to get out today. I bought a second pair of running shoes, since I found a kind I really like, and even got some runners' gel to protect my feet from blisters since I had a couple trying to come up.

I really enjoy seeing everyone's progress here. I know it is tough, but it's really quite motivating. I nearly gave up W1D1 when I pushed myself too hard and nearly passed out. But I kept pushing and have really surprised myself. So to those that struggle one week but refuse to give up--Kudos! And to those that thought they couldn't last 20 minutes straight only to surprise themselves---Congratulations! Keep it up!

I just finished W6D2 and logged myself a big ol' frowny face for how I felt. Lately, I have been finding the program pretty easy and haven't had any issues with endurance or exhaustion. However, it has been raining pretty consistently since yesterday, and the temperature just keeps dropping. Add some decent winds into that equation...yeah, not so much fun. However, I did managed to get out while it was just slightly raining even though it was still cold! I'm leaving on vacation in 2 weeks, and I want to finish the program by the time I leave, so I am determined to push out 4 days of running a week to finish up--rain, sleet, or shine...Okay, not so much with the sleet (hopefully we are past that finally!). If they weather clears up, then it should be smooth sailing.

Thats Week 8 Completed....roll on Week 9...might start that tomorrow or I will be doing the cooper test.....anyway only 3 more days to go and thats me finished this fantastic programme....

I just finished week 3, day 1 of the c25k app and I'm actually enjoying it more than I thought I would. Love the feeling when I'm finished.

Your app must be different than mine, I did w5d2 tonight & it was 2 8 minute runs, my 20 minute run isnt until w5d3. Thats so awesome that you did it! I had to redo tonights run, I tried it earlier in the week and had to walk a bit through the 2nd 8 min run but tonight I nailed it!! I still struggled though, but this time I had no pain in feet,ankles or legs which is a first. My breathing is still an issue but its improving slowly. I have a feeling I'll be redoing the w5d3 (20 min run) a few times. I barely make the 8 minutes.

My next C25K day isn't until Tues., when I start week 2. Today was technically my rest day, but I ate at Perkins and couldn't resist the strawberry rhubarb pie, so I did a 5K walk. it was actually a little over, and I finished it in 55 mins. It felt goodmtomget out, even though I didn't run. Looking forward to Tues.

I'm finishing up Week 1 today. My knee started popping on stairs now, but there's no pain so I'm going to keep going. I've been doing the workouts on a local trail, so the hills and the sand definitely add to the difficulty.

Just started on Week 1. I'm making my week Sunday to Saturday, so I did W1D1 today. I get cramps while running, so I try to drink enough water to alleviate that, but it's still a challenge. Had to stop to get my breath a couple times...apparently my weight loss to date has still given me no endurance? Argh. Oh well...I have plans tomorrow right after work, so Day 2 will be Tuesday!

Have you been doing any cardio prior to starting C25K? I'm doing Jillian Michaels Body Revolution. I did it for a month before C25K, and it really helped build me up.
