    I really needed to read this because I completed week 8 day 1 on a gym treadmill and then struggled and failed miserably and aborted my week 8 day 2 during an outside run this morning- for whatever reason I could not get past 8 minutes and kept stopping and trying to restart. I do not want to give up now when I am so close to graduation....:-) Thank for the encouraging posts.

    Sounds corny but I feel like I've found something I've been missing all my life. I feel so balanced.

    I can tell I'm going to be annoying all my friends by constantly trying to recruit them! Although one person I recommended C25K to is on week 6 and loving it so maybe my work is done :bigsmile:

    Yay, Glitter Magpie. I love it when it happens like this!

    Great job Asp214. Do you have a 5k in your sights?

    Congratulations! Speed will come with time. When you start running longer runs your speed will slow initially but you will soon notice a difference in your 5k time.

    Had never run before in my life and could hardly get through the 60 seconds of running I was expected to get through in week 1, but now I am a graduate. I GRADUATED LAST WEEK THURSDAY AND ACTUALLY STARTED THE BRIDGE TO 10K TODAY! Failed miserably this morning at my first attempt at B210K (could only get through 2 intervals of 8 min runs with 1 minute walking in between); not sure why since I just ran 30 minutes straight a few days ago. However, after C25K, I have much more confidence in my ablity to get through this program.

    I am yet to run a 5K:-) but I have one scheduled on the 29th of this month. I am a little anxious that I won't make it through since I graduated c25k running at a pace of 12:17 min mile, for a total of 2:44 miles in 30 minutes, but that is what is giving me the fuel to keep training and increasing my distance.

    Great job to all the graduates and those who will be graduating C25K soon. You can do it!!!!

    Congratulations! That is a pretty average pace for finishing c25k so I am sure you won't have any problems with your race. The b210k training will help your stamina.

    I graduated this morning!! My first official 5K is September 22. I did the timed version so I haven't actually run the full distance yet. I'm going to do that on Saturday and then start the B210K program next week.
