I did w7d2 this morning. Wasn't sure if I was going to make it, but I did and I ran 26 minutes instead of 25, just because I felt good and wanted to see if I could do it. I am looking forward to week 8. When I woke up this morning I had a headache and didn't feel well. Once I drank some coffee and started my warmup walk, I felt much better.

Funny, I ran same day today and ran longer too.

Haha that is funny.

Hello everyone,

I finished W1R3 last night. I found it quite easy. I am not going to be home tomorrow so will be a day behind. I will have to make up for it on Saturday.

Hope everyone else is having a good week.

I just finished W6D3. Was aggravating as all get out because my phone completely shut down twice mid run. (Ahhhh can't wait for my new phone!!!!!)

BUT I ended up running 25 min instead of 22. I got further from my starting point than I thought I would get so I figured I'd practice and run a little bit more to prep for 5k.

I've been running with my littlest and jogging stroller this week. Seems like my running is slower as a result. Has anyone else had this happen?

Great running everyone! Just keep going, it is worth it!

I just did W8D1 and was shocked at my performance once the cooling down began, because I ran both farther and with the worst side stitch yet. I just can't believe that I'm almost done! And when Laura said that there is only one minute left, I told myself two more minutes won't kill me in week 9. So I'm practically done already LOL

W6D3 done... that is the 20min run on my program.. I don't think I have ever run for 20 minutes in my life until 30 minutes ago WHOOOOOOOO

4.83km in 35:52 including WU/CD Average pace 7:75min/km
Run Pace 6:42min/km
Walk pace 8:30min/km

I didn't feel like I was going to die by the time I got the cool down ding, I felt it earlier, but that's from the hill I was running up LOL
Honestly felt like I could have kept going for some time yet, though I went into my cool down. I don't want to do too much too soon and considering I have a 10-20km walk/hike/jog every weekend at the moment on top of the C25K I do what the program says and nothing more.

Can't wait for Saturday - C25K GRADUATION DAY!!!! I'm going to run in my tutu

We want pictures!!

I did W7D3 this morning. I actually ran for 30 minutes. I just felt like going further since I have 2 days between runs instead of 1. I run on MWF. I think I had a good week. I did increase my speed a little too. I do 5 minutes of stretching before and after I run in addition to the wu/cd walks. At my age I am afraid of injuries, so I am taking precautions.

I hope everyone is doing great.

today was a good day. did a 35 minute run. wow. MashAllah

good job working through the cramps, Putcake! Hope that goes away for you...


Wk 9D2 DONE! I still struggle to get my arms and legs in rhythm for the first mile, but then it's golden after that. Even increased my 1st mile time slightly! Can't wait for Saturday - C25K GRADUATION DAY!!!! I'm going to run in my tutu

Congrats in advance! I have to work this weekend so I won't be able to congratulate you properly.

Awesome, we're on the same schedule!

I'm also working on strength training and spent an hour with a personal trainer last night. My run wasn't nearly as enjoyable and I was glad when the 25 minutes were up.

W7D3 is complete.

I'm working on strength training 2-3 times a week and the increased intensity of that and my increasing run length are combining to make it less enjoyable.

Today on my run I was telling myself terrible things like "maybe you should focus on strength training" "remember why you hate cardio?" "how much longer?" My legs were sore from the training I worked on last night. I talked sense into myself and realized that I am strong enough to do this and nothing worthwhile is easy. I wasn't in any pain, just having an off day.

Once I was about 15 minutes into the run I was better.

I'm proud of myself for pushing through, the old me would not have held myself accountable to complete my run; I would have said, you worked hard last night, you can walk now.

I feel so good now, bring on Week 8!
