Who's Starting C25K With Me On Aug 23?!?!

I'm just about done week 5 - just wanted to say you guys can do it, and it will feel great! Best thing I have ever done, hands down!

hey, ill do it with ya. could you send me the details??

I've been wanting to start this program as well, I'm in!!!

I second that. I totally support you. I started the C25K about four weeks ago, but I am taking it easy by repeating every week. I am trying to get ready for the Warrior Dash. Not to win, but to do better if I did not work out.

Here are two things I have done that seem to have really made it easier. 1) I went to a good shoe store (Shoe n Feet) that not only measured my feet but had a sensor pad to see where I place the most pressure. Then they watched me walk in shoes to see if I over pronate (which I did) and find the right running shoes for me. Biggest tip here, buy the most comfortable shoe you can when you first try them on.
2) I bought a Gym Boss (www.gymboss.com) for keeping track of my intervals. I carry it in my hand and have it set to vibrate because I listen to music. So for example, the first week I had it set to, first interval 60 seconds, second interval 90 seconds, for a total of 8 reps which covered the 20 minutes. After my 5 min warm up walk I would hit start and start running. Every time it buzzed I would switch from run to walk or walk to run. When it hits the end it lets you know. Very handy so I did not have to think about counting my intervals and could concentrate on my run/walk.

Hang in there, if you end up like me the pain will come but be manageable.

I'm in too. But, I'm going on vacation next week so I can't technically start until the following Monday (and actually I've already completed week one, but I'm going to repeat it since I will have had a week off.) Are you going to post weekly threads to make sure everyone is doing the work?

I've been looking into doing this program and I have hopes of doing a 5K in December, but I really don't have anywhere to run. I don't have a treadmill at home and I have 2 small kids at home so I can't really go out to do it either. Any suggestions? My mother-in-law does have a treadmill. Maybe I could do it there. It's only about 30 minutes right?

I'm in! My posts will be a bit early due to my Sydney location, but I'm def in! Have the app on my iphone but just a bit intimidated to give it a go.

Im in!

I started it a few months ago but had to give in due to being so exhausted from work. Id love to give it a go again.


and I give you all permission to kick my butt and force me to go for a jog even if I have just come home from work!

Count me in. I wanted to do it before but wasn't motivated enough. But now I have a new frame of mind and would love some running buddies.

Let's get started! I am hoping to get a run in this afternoon!! I am battling a Sinus infection at the moment though!

I did my run this morning..well I tried. I knew I was out of shape but dang. It was bad Here's to hoping it gets better.

I am starting on Week 3 Day 1 today. I am waiting until 7pm...too hot here in Louisiana!

My sister is running her first marathon in San Fransisco October 17th. She has been training for over a year. It's for the Leukemia and Lymphoma benefit.

Here is her link if anyone would like more information or would care to support the foundation.

I also opened a link as well for C25K under Fitness. Is there anyway to link these two?

I'm excited to have more go getters! Woohoo!

Hi Guys well I did mine and the majority of it - I walked. I might have to repeat week 1 I think, just to build up my confidence a bit. Very proud of everyone else who got out there and did it. Well done! we can all do it we just need to be properly motivated!!
