    HI Lee, I was on week 4, and moving to week 5 but I've pulled the ligaments in my ankle and have been told by the doc to hold off for a couple of weeks, but will be right back at it as soon as I can. When I started it was hard to believe I'd be able to run for more than a minute, but week 4 has you doing 5 mins. And I can do 5 mins. :happy:

    There are lots of C25K folks on this site. I am one!! Overweight my entire life; never a runner....until now! I'm on week 8 and can run (or jog) for 30 mins straight. For me, the trick was not giving up. Sometimes I was just barely jogging, but i kept going. C25K changes your body. For me, it also changes how I looked at myself! Have fun!

    I started C25K late 2011 - prior to that I was never a runner.

    On May 5th of this year I completed my first half marathon.

    It's a great program!

    Yes, I am doing it! I am on week 3 (for the second time..hehe). Great program and very self paced. I love it. Each week I feel more and more like a runner.
    Feel free to add me. I'd love to support you during your journey :)

    I'm doing it! I'm currently on Week 3 Day 2. I really like this program! I hope to finish it the first go around and then possibly do it again to see if I can get my times down. Good luck to you! :smile:

    I'm on week "3" of the program, but I've only been at it a week, I did week 1 & 2 in the same week because running 3 times a week isn't enough for me.

    I'm hoping to start June 1, getting my endurance up on the elliptical. My goal is to run in the Detroit Free Press 5K in October. I know that's a ways out but I want to give myself enough training time to complete it successfully.

    Slainte! :drinker:

    It's intended to be done 3 days per week because your body needs the rest days for recovery. The rest days can still be used for exercise like cross-training or strength training, but it's not good for your body to run everyday without allowing it time to recover, especially if you're new to it.
