I am in! I am going to do this on top of Boot Camp! Now I know what I will do... my brain will think "hey you don't need to go to Bootcamp cause you have worked out this morning" I have to overcome that!0

Good Job! Thanks for this Challenge. I forgot how good it felt to run. Such a GREAT workout!0 -
I have downloaded some programs before- 5 k .. thought you should start it gradually- 5k frist. than 10 k.. than 25 k ? Right/ wrong ?
If i'm doing the 5 k- can i still join this group or should i download the 25 k ? Not so familiar with i-tunes etc.. what should i search for on the i-tunes- pod casts ? Any specific one you all are using ?
Today was my 1st run- i started on my own didn't know about this group until now..
Day one was
30 minutes- 1.708 mil, 210 kcl -
walking 3 mph
60 sec intervals 4.5 / 5.5 mph..
following with a 60 min cardion-inferno -dvd from billy blanks0 -

lmk if anyone is interested!
I'm in ! , going to start it again tonight (Tuesday) ! No excuses :happy:0 -
Well I`ve just done W2 D3 which went well, and for the first time, outside instead of on the treadmill at the gym which I found more challenging but much more fun. Decided I deffo need better shoes though and thats now top of my shopping list.
Looking forward to week 3 now0 -
I'd like to join. I won't start until this weekend, but I need to do something to occupy that part of my brain that will want to eat everything in sight from now until christmas. So, I'll be 1/2 a week behind, but I'm fine with that if you are! Happy thanksgiving and I'll see you on Friday!0

1st day completed. Feeling good! Easy0
-
Oooo. I'm going to start tonight!0
-
W1D1 completed! I feel great!
The program I did was 2 minute interval jogs and 3 minute walks. The jogs were 4 times. I find this helps me better than the 8 x 90 sec jogs.
Any thoughts on what I should do about burning shins though? Hoping this gets better over time.0 -
I am just starting 5k1010

Count me in! I've been toying w/ the C25K program since June. Maybe this will give me a boost. I'll start Monday!0
-
I was starting today except this morning I got wacked with a nasty cold! Yuck! So I am going to take a couple days and hopefully will feel up to it. Happy running all, I will join soon!0

I went to the gym last night, was going to attempt the first stage of jogging, but I got too nervous and didn't. *sighs*0

you can do it, angelic! start with a fast walk if you feel more comfortable that way0

week1 day 2 completed this morning.
3.2 90 second intervals
5.0 60 second intervals
31 minutes & 213 cals burned.0 -
week 1 - day one : time : 29.30 - distance 1,708- kcl - 210
week 1 - day two : time 29.30 distance 1,801, kcl 225
I start feeling discomfort in my shins- /ankles.. sometimes even my left knee, it's not " pain " in a really painfull way - but it's more like an tight- discomfort.. how is everyone else doing ? Does this get better with time.. It's hard to tell when you need to toughen it out and keep going - and when you should slow it down and take a break - i don't want to be " whiny " but i don't want to hurt myself and miss out more workouts.
Just wondering if anyone has simillar things going on , any advice ?
Also this is my first time doing this- want to make sure i understand the concept of this- is the goal to finish the whole time of ( in my case the podcast is 29:30 minutes ) jogging/running.. or is the goal to finish and complete 5 k in that time ..
Might sound a little " duuh " .. but.. what are your goals ? Just to finish the whole time - or to complete the 5 k in that time .. hope you can understand my question ..0
