Week 1, Day 3 done. On to Week 2!

W9 D2

Really good feeling!

Bit off schedule this week. Normally run Mon, Wed, Fri but ended up running Wed, and today with 3rd session still to get in this week. Have just done Week 5, Day 2 and am so pleased with myself. I am loving this C25K programme. I am doing it on the treadmill and at the beginning I would have really struggled doing 30 seconds and today have done 2 sets of 8min runs. Weird but I am looking forward to the next session. I see each session as a personal challenge and love the buzz when I've completed a new one. Not sure whether to try to do session three tomorrow evening, then move my days to Tues, Thurs and Sat for next week or do Session 3 Mon then my next three sessions Wed, Fri, Sunday.

Regardless, I am totally in to this programme and I WILL do it!

c210k W10D2 done!

Ran in a 5k with my son this morning! He got off to a ridiculously fast pace ( I couldn't even see him in the crowd). Finally caught up to him at the first mile marker and he was ready to go home. So the next two miles were a combo of walk and slow jog, but we made it in 43 minutes. Which was honestly what I expected, even if we had jogged the whole way.

Today was W1D1 for me. It was hot and humid and not the most comfortable time of day...but I was determined and I was going to stop using Florida heat as an excuse.

Well done! Getting started is the first hurdle.

W7D1 done this morning. I didn't feel as springy as I did on W6D3 (also 25min run) but when I uploaded from my Garmin I was surprised to see my pace was actually a bit faster so just goes to show you can't judge it purely on 'feel'.

All in all, feeling quite chuffed with myself and pretty confident I'll see this through to the end and beyond :bigsmile:

Got in my w9d2 today, almost a week after injuring my foot during w9d1.. I took it slow and easy today, did not get as much distance in, and I did it on a treadmill to keep the surface level. But I did it an an incline 1-2% and managed to finish with not much complaining from my foot.

Today will be W4D1...trying to not let myself get psyched out abount the jump from 3 minutes to 5 minutes. It has helped to read about everyines experiences before I have to face the challenges. Glad to see that my lack of focus on speed is shared. I had double partial klnee replacement 2 1/2 years ago...so for me it is all about finishing!
Keep up the great work everyone!

I ran my PB at both 5k and 10k today - just under 32 mins for 5k and 1hr4 min for 10k :drinker:

Now I know I can do the distance I need to try and up the pace! :bigsmile:

Hey everyone! I got out there and did W8D2 today. I decided to try running to a new park because I was getting bored with running around the nearest park by my house. I took on a hill today as well. I overdid it today, and now I pulled a muscle in my calf. Smh! Oh well. I'm still proud of myself for today. Ice, rest, and relaxation should take care of my poor calf.

One more day in the Zen labs app!

Week 1 Day 1
COMPLETE!

Haven't run in a month - I've been busy moving and relocating across the country. I restarted W1D1 today (I got to W4D2 last time I did this) only outside and with my 15yo son. We had fun and I didn't find it that challenging, so I guess I didn't get as out of shape as I thought

week 3,day 1..out at 530 am and got to watch the sun rising as I was running..the last 30 secs of the last 3 mins was hard but got there in the end,happy to have finished it as I didn't want to go this morning!

Did a 3.5 mile run this morning in preparation for my first race on Saturday. It seems weird to not use the C25K app since I graduated last week but the Nike+ app is great for telling me the pace each mile. I will have to explore the app to see if there is a way to get reminders each half mile so I can make sure I am running a consistent pace.

I'm not sure about Nike+, but I use MapMyRun, and I can set it to tell me my split pace, overall time, and total distance each 1/4 mi, 1/2 mi, 1 mi, etc.
