This is awesome! Good for you! I was just looking at the C25K program yesterday debating if I have it in me to run. Are you using the app and if so, how do you like it?0

I am using the app, it was easy to figure out and i just started it up and kept it running on the treadmill so I could see the timer. Day 1 was a 5 min warm up brisk walk then 60 seconds running followed by 90 seconds walking for 20 minutes. The only down side is I have an HTC phone so I had my ipod, cell phone and water jug with me ... lots of cargo for the gym :-)0

Arm straps are the way to go. You'll look a bit cyber-tastic, but it'll keep your hands free lol0 -
Thats a GREAT NSV!! I'm like you in that I havent ran since high school - will be completing week 2 day 1 tonight. I definitely feel a sense of accomplishment when I complete the days.
Great job :happy:0 -

Congrats! You'll be amazed at how fast you become a "runner"!
Also just a word for the future, don't ever be afraid to repeat a day/week I love C25k. Good luck!0 -
I just finished day 3 of week 3 last night and that was a tough, but honestly it gets easier. When I used to be 183 Lbs. I could barely walk one mile without breaking a sweat and almost pass out. Now 31 Lbs. lighter I jog faster, for longer and I enjoy it.
I use the C25k with my RunKeeper app at the same time so I know the time and my pace.0 -
Good for you. I am doing it also and just finished day 1 of week 4.
I used day 1 week 1 for my 5k on Fathers Day weekend and had my best time.
Good luck to you and keep it up.0 -

I do the same thing with C25K and runkeeper. Works great.0 -
Congratulations, what a great NSV! I started the C25K app by zen labs, got into about week 3, had an injury & just started over again. I wasn’t feeling the app again (most likely because it felt like I was going backwards) so, this time I started using the Zombies run c25k trainer, it’s a lot of fun & has me looking forward to the next run day.0

I am week 3 day 1
I am shocked at my ability!
Happy for you!0 -
Congrats on starting! It gets easier from here! I started the C25K program back in November. It was the most empowering thing I've done yet. I was never a runner before and when I finished the program I cried. I now run 3 days a week consistently (among other things for exercise) and it has changed my body and strength immeasurably.0

i tried to search for it on my phone and there were 3-4 of the apps with the same name and different developers .... so exactly which one do i need?0

Zen-Labs is the best one, i think. You can also use the Pandora app in the background while you are doing the C25K app - that's what I do!0 -
Congrats!! The first three days were the hardest for me ....I got done with week 2 and got a massive sinus infection so now I have to start all over when I can breath again! Happy to see so many others doing C25K!0

That's awesome!!! Congrats!!0
