W1D1 completed tonight with my wife.
We didn't cover much ground, 1.7 miles including the warm up. We are going slow like recommended. is this about normal?... And I kind of felt like dying, but if I did it once, I can do it again, I will probably do it again before I move on. I feel like I'm back on track now.W8D3 done & dusted, 30 minutes running @ 6:02min/km, just missed the 5km in 30min by like 30m. A little pissed, but happy considering the last km I did I had a stitch the entire way.0 -
w3d3 tonight, went for a slower pace tonight but wasnt expecting to be as slow as i was. wanted to slow it down cos w4 starts the serious running times.0

8wk program Don't get me wrong I was/am happy I made 30 minutes, would have just been nice to knock over 3 of my running goals in one go, especially when I came soooo close.0 -
I DID IT! W9D1 for me. My previous best was 2.25 miles in 32 minutes. Tonight, I wanted to go for it and see what I could do.
Neighborhood run. Slightly hilly but nothing obnoxious.
3.1 miles in 41 minutes 26 seconds!
Not only did I beat my best distance, but I beat my best time as well! I was sprinting at the end I was so ecstatic!
My first official 5K is in less than two weeks, so I plan on keeping up with the runs.
Man, it feels good. I RAN 5K!!!!0 -

Congrats!!!! That's a great accomplishment!!! I'm hoping to get my actual 3.1 done in the next week - I'm working my way up to it!0 -
Forgot to check in on Saturday - but I did 2.4 miles in 30 minutes - 12:23 and 12:35 splits. It was a bad run - out of breath, had to walk twice, all while trying not to swallow the hoard of gnats in my face!
I was never so happy to hear time up! But then I was shocked when I looked at my mile times. A big improvement for me!
Going to stop at the park on the way home from work today and try for a 35 minute run. It's been a few weeks since I've been to the park - very excited to run the trail again!0 -

This morning I sorta completed W6/D2 but in reality it was my third straight 2 mile run, and I increased my speed from 5.0 to 5.3 (yup, treadmill). Shaved a minute off my time compared to Sunday. Thurs (aka W6/D3) going for 2.25miles, or maybe 2.5 if I'm feeling good..0

Due to Boyscouts this last weekend, I'm a bit behind in the schedule but I just finished Day 2 of Week 2. In the cold.0

Last night I went out for my week 1 day 2 run, it was first time running outside in a year. It was great but I'm sore (I biked 20km today too)! My pace was slow but I am excited to work up my running skills again. Went 1.92 miles in 28:30. Tomorrow I'm planning to do day 3.0

No need to feel awkward - it's more for C25K graduates rather than a strictly 10K programme board anyway so just join in
Anyway, if you're running 5miles this weekend you're already running further than me lol0 -

That's not slow, don't be hard on yourself! The aches and pains ease the more you run so don't let them put you off; I think our bodies just need to adjust to the whole concept of running and after a while you'll run 2miles and think nothing off it the next day0 -
thanks for the kind words yam!0

W6D3 tonight. 22 minute run here I come!0

Pretty disappointed in myself again today. I was able to talk myself out of running my entire W7D3
I'm not sure if I should try again tonight, or do it in the morning. Feeling lazy. I try to remember how great I feel when I'm done.0 -

I almost backed out of doing my W1D3 run last night because "my body is too tired". Once I forced myself out the door, I felt great and was glad to have gone. Get out there and run!0
