    I've officially finished the C25K program! I ran a 5K this morning, and I'll begin the 10K trainer on Wednesday! If I can do this, anybody can! What a great program :drinker:

    Finished W1D2 (though technically it's day 4, but who's counting...). I'm feeling frustrated because I've actually put on 2 pounds since starting! I've been watching what I eat and staying hydrated, so I doubt it's actual weight gain, maybe just water retention, or swelling? Anyway, it's pretty discouraging, gut I'm going to keep at it <3

    I am stuck on W5D3....Even getting through that 8R is hard enough -I do have to stop and take a breathing break for about 20secs after 5mins..but then can carry on..I have no clue how I am ever going to get myself to W6D1 which 10MIN RUN in 1 go....I get bored at around 5-6mins..anyone any recommendations? much appreciated

    thanks...already done that....moved down from 7.8 to 7.4.....7.4 feels "weird" - my legs "want to go a tiny bit faster"...If I go down to 7 I am power walking instead of jogging :(

    I managed to do W5D3 as 8R, 5W, 3R, 1W, 4R

    I dont think I will make it through W6D1 next week - I was not born a runner...running 10mins nonstop is hard...let alone TWICE! but I will give it a try..
    I am already running WAY BETTER than I used to...I remember running 500metres nonstop for the 1st time in my life in October! and now I can do 1000m in 7mins...I am happy :)
