You guys are doing great!!! And still more people joining, awesome!!! W1D2 in the books. Had a little more energy this morning so i continued after and ended up going 4 miles. I'm sure I'll pay for that tomorrow though. Hummm... maybe a little more stretching this evening. Keep kicking butt!0

Week 2 complete. Starting Week 3 tomorrow.

Just did Week 4 Day 1 last night. The jump from 3 min to 5 min is TOUGH for me. I stopped about 40 seconds short for a 3 second walk before realizing I wasn't done. Trying not to get discouraged and just keep on keeping on

Week 2 Day 3 done! Found it pretty tough today but I hadn't had a rest day since my last run and I was also getting distracted by trying to figure out how my new trainers felt! I think I need proper socks rather than trainer liners, to stop them rubbing... I won't get to start Week 3 until Tuesday evening probably. Running for three minutes - scary!0
-
W3 D3 done here too... I feel good about it and tried to push a bit harder by keeping on the second half of the training session to a 9kmph on the running bits. After it, nice sauna and steam room, now dinner.
I have put 2lbs back on and kind of panicking. I think I should know it is muscles and I have to keep eating rather than cutting to 1000cals, but gosh if it's hard.
Anyway, quite excited about starting on W4 on Sunday.0 -
Week 6 Day 3 here. After not being sure that my friend would do Week 5 day 3 on Tuesday, she blasted it and still felt that she had some gas in her tank so today she wanted to try Week 6 Day 3. Completed! I am so proud of her and looking forward to week 7 now.0

W6D3 complete. I am so amazed my body is doing this. I am slow and it's ugly but dang it I'm doing it..... I'm actually doing this!!! OH yeah... and I'm having a blast too.

I must be crazy. We're supposed to be getting a Tropical Storm up here sometime tomorrow, possibly when I normally run, but I'm going to do it anyways even if it's pouring rain. Why? Because I know if I take a day off I will get in the habit of that and lose my focus and not be able to get where I want and to what I want. It'll technically be W2D3 for me, but since I am repeating W1, it's really W1D3.0

Week 5, Day 1 complete. I'm pretty nervous about the rest of this week, but it feels good to have D1 over with anyway!0

Week 8 Day 1 for me at 5am this morning with my doggy. It was a horrible run- I tripped over some fresh air and landed flat on my face, checked my phone was okay then bounced back up and carried on, took a different route and got lost so ended up practically hopping through long grass trying to avoid rabbit holes but I did it! Looking forward to completing week 9 before I go on my holidays as I plan to take my running kit and run along the sea front early in the morning while I'm away.0

Week 2 Day 1 done and new running trainers broken in 0

Just got done with my repeat of W1D3 (which technically was W2D3) and I did so in steady rain from Tropical Storm Andrea. Did the full 30 minutes for the 2nd time. Rain actually helped me stay cooler during the run portions.0

Week 3 Day 1 in the books.0

The heat officially kicked my butt today. I got in 5K but it took 49 minutes. I just couldn't rally at the end. I'm glad I finished the distance though. I'm strongly thinking of signing up for a July run, so that will be even hotter. In the meantime, I signed up for thenChristmas Story House 5k in December. I'm doing the virtual option where you run in your own location. You still get the leg lamp finisher medal.0

I like to run in the rain.
I failed w4d1 for the 4th time last night. Gave up and walked with 2:30 left in the last run....exactly the same as every time before. But I am determined to complete all of the runs before moving on to w5.
Will try again tomorrow - hopefully this weekend will bring success.0 -
Today I completed W4D3. I had a harder time this morning than I did on day 2, not sure why. Looking forward to W5D1, if it doesn't kick my butt. I only walk/run outdoors, I don't have access to a treadmill but when I do I find it very boring.0

Best of luck. If you're having trouble maybe take a day or 2 off and then give it another go? I know that rest days help me recover.0 -
Just Week 9 left to go for me! I can't believe it.
Keep up the good work, everyone! You're doing great!0 -

Have you tried slowing down? Week 4 is hard. I think it's meant to get you to slow down your pace so you can make it through the rest of the program. My husband was WALKING beside me pushing my son in the stroller last night while I was jogging. That's how slow I go.0 -
This morning I competed w6d3 and I cannot believe it! But I can never believe it, it is like someone else is making these (albeit small) achievements, it is so unlike me. I ran for 2.25 miles without stopping and with my best time. This was preceded by an awful week of lack of motivation, so it is a real breakthrough in that regard as well.0

Awesome! I can't wait to be that far along. I finished W1D2 last night and tomorrow morning comes W1D3. I plan to run it outside before it gets ridiculously hot. I live in Arizona! :ohwell:0 -
Got W4D3 in today. Yay! It's been pouring rain all day and finally stopped at 6:30 pm. I got it done before it got dark. I will never do this in my neighborhood again though. The huge puddles of water everywhere, in addition to the low hanging trees, and broken pavement, made this run as much an obstacle course as a straight run. Taking the time to go to the bike path first makes a lot more sense.0

I finished W4D3 last night, and my HRM came in the mail today so I'm really looking forward to starting W5 this weekend! :happy:0

Having a HRM makes such a big difference. I love seeing my actual burn and how high I can boost my heart rate.I finished W4D3 last night, and my HRM came in the mail today so I'm really looking forward to starting W5 this weekend! :happy:0 -
About to go to W4 D1 today, quite nervous and excited...0

Slow down. You need to slow down until you are capable of finishing all the runs. If you can run slowly enough, you will make it through week 5 with no problems.0 -

That's exactly how slowly you should be going.0 -
