I am in. I started W1D1 last night, so I guess I will do Sun, Tues and Thursday, and see if I need to do any repeats on the weekend to stay on track. I have started this program a couple of times before but never made it past week 1. With all of you "watching" I am sure that I will be able to finish it. I used to run quite well, and for some reason about 3 years ago, I just stopped. I am sure I had all of the proper excuses, though. :-)

My goal is to run a 5K all the way through by June and then move on to a 10K and so on. I took one of my dogs with me last night, but he is definitely not my workout partner. He is a shih-tzu and the poor thing got tired. So, I am going to bring my German Shepherd mix with me. The good thing about him is he only does "his business" in his own yard so there are no stops along the way. :-)

I am 45 years old and have four grown children and one grandchild, two dogs, one cat and one very wonderfuld boyfriend/life partner/SO. He is also overweight and I am trying to get him out walking with me at the least. Both of our jobs put us in a chair all day, then we both go home and are on the computer and watching TV. Trying to make a change.

Well, I guess that is enough rambling about me. Soooo, after completing W1D1 last night, I was really tired and really sore. I didn't know how sore until after I went to bed and realized I still had my contacts on, I got up to remove them and hobbled to the bathroom. Ouch. But, took some Advil and went to bed. I am only slightly sore this morning and am looking forward to the next workout.

Hi,

I'm only looking to lose 20, have already lost 6lbs. I completed the C25K seven months ago when I got to my goal weight of 160lbs. I stopped running after that, stop exercising and put the 20 lbs back on. I tried out Week 6 D2 (I believe it's 10 mins run, 3 minutes walk, 10 mins run plus w/u and cool down) and completed it. It was challenging but I wasn't huffing or on the floor

If you are doing weight lifting on off days, this program is a great addition and I noticed a lot of my fat loss came from my ab area (more so than different cardio programs I did in the past)

I really love this program because last year for the first time in my life, I could run for 30 minutes no problem. Stick with it guys

Hi Stefanie here,

Live in Minnesota and just purchased a treadmill and ready to get started. Completely sedentary job for the past 4 years so I am extremely out of shape. I will be starting tomorrow 2/19/2014 in hopes of sticking with this, my weight goal is 30lb loss but I just want to feel better and not so out of shape and breath to keep up with my active 10 & 8 year old I'm 5'2"; 37 yrs old and am not a runner in anyway, but I'd love to get the endurance and exercise! Would love to have the motivation of others. Tomorrow it is!!! Just downloaded the C25K app for android on my phone...

Hi everyone! I just started the c25k program this week and was happy to see others in the same boat. I signed up for a color run on June 21st and am looking for support and guidance. I have done the c25k program in the past but had to stop due to an injury. My advise is to listen to the instructions and run every other day. I was a little overzealous and was running everyday and ended up with an "overuse" injury. I can't say I like running but I do love how I feel afterward!

hi all
I'm Queeny, Age 25, live in maryland. I started C25K on Feb 3. i finished week 1 but then got side-tracked which easy for me to do. I am picking up where i left off. I've never like running; mostly because i couldn't. Or at least i thought i couldn't. I want to challenge myself to run a 5k... prove that i can do it.

Issues: No treadmill. No gym. No way in hell am i attempting this in the freezing cold.
Solution: I do it at home in place (better than nothing). then outside when warmer weather comes.
