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:
Congrats on finishing0 -
Took me an extra week because of various chaotic things but I finished week 5! Here's to a more on-pace week 6

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

Last night, 3 minute warm up walk, ran 1:30, walked 4:30, 5 times. No sweat.
Slowly getting back to full running after my knee injury. Man, have I missed running.0 -
Just finished W7D20

W4D2 done!!0

Just did W6D1!0

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 0 -
I am 41. Yesterday, after being congratulated by a coworker for my half marathon, I found myself explaining how, before the November before last, I thought I was genetically unable to run (asthma, no fast twitch muscle fibers, shin splints, I can't remember what else but it was compelling). For the next 9 weeks, I kept waiting for the next run to be the impenetrable barrier that I couldn't pass. I ran as slowly as I could and then slowed down some more. I never found that limit. I haven't found it at 6.2 miles and I haven't found it at 13.1.
Do not sell yourself short. Not only are you capable of a ten minute run - though it might take a couple tries for your body to figure it out - you are capable of so much more. Don't let the picture you have of yourself in your mind hold your body back from what it is equipped to achieve.0 -
I agree. You can do it, I started C25K 7 weeks ago and although I had done a fair amount of walking over the past few years I was convinced I wasn't a runner. I now have a different mindset, today will be W7D3 and it will get it's butt kicked juts like the other days have. Running a 5K on 2/8/14 and I will finish.0

It's great to see everyone's progress!! I just finished Week 5/Day 2 and I'm pretty pleased with myself. Although previous to this run, I had to give myself a couple of days of "self talk" before I got on the treadmill. Thankfully I was successful and will complete Week 5 on the weekend. I'm running at a 4.0 (short legs?!) and walking at a 3.2 - not fast, but I am consistent!! Currently can get through the 5K in 52:10. Keep up the good work everybody!0

W4D3 done! And done in the rain! My husband was mightily impressed when I didn't come back immediately because of the weather, but I told him once my shoes were on and phone strapped to my arm it was too late to turn back 0

I can run for an 45 strait in the treadmill. It's the slowest 45 minutes on earth but I don't give up. I run it though. I still haven't hit the 5k mark in running but I do know I will get it one day. I know most people can walk a mile as fast as I "run" but I am ok with this. I don't let it bug me but I love the fact that I can do it.
Now once this crappy weather lets up, I will be training to run outside. I can't run out side for nothing. I can get about a half mile in before I want to die but I know I will get to a 5k on that too.0 -
Just completed Week 5 Day 1. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be.0
-
I ran a very rainy week 6 day 1 last night and found it really easy after the 20 min run of week 5 day 3! But the thought of a 25 min run at the end of this week is a bit scary

Completed W6D20

W8D1 done today. My last few runs have felt disorganized because of very cold weather and bad set-ups -- this time went with my sister (who I'm doing the program with) to her Y with a great, big, open, indoor running track. Worked out hard last night and my legs were sorrrrre so it was a tough run, but I did it. Looking forward to my next two runs and then heading into 30 minutes.
34 days and counting to my first 5K.0 -
Finished week 6!! Not enjoying the dread mill but it's freezing out and only getting freezinger!
On the upside- by the time I finish 5k and then make it through 10k training it's gotta be nicer out!!0 -
W4D1 with an extra 20 min walk at the end 0

W8D2, I'm almost there0
