c25k starting next week. Anyone with me?

I'm a long time runner who has fallen off the wagon so to speak and I plan on using the c25k program to build up my speed and distance back up in advance of the summer months. Anyone interested in starting with me? I could really use a virtual running buddy or buddies.

    I am going to be starting this tomorrow. Add me if you want. Did two weeks last year then pulled a muscle. Have the fear of how hard it is going to be.

    I will! I've been tossing around the idea of starting for a little while now. I have no prior running experience. Someone last week told me about c25k and today this post came up, maybe it's a sign to start!

    I've just started the Zombies Run 5k app, so I'm definitely up for some fellow running buddies :D (even if we're not doing exactly the same program!)

    Hi! I'm just starting week 2 of C25K. I'm brand new to running. I've tried to start programs in the past but I'm in love with this app! It is so simple and so basic which is exactly what I needed :)

    I'd love to have a running partner, especially an experienced runner ????

    I am just like you! I have run a couple of half marathons and did a marathon last year and pretty much stopped running completely. I just completed W1D1 today.
  • I have the C25K & Zombies Running App.

    I only run every other day though...I could start to do it every day in the mornings...

    Count me in!

    I plan on starting this in 2 weeks. Feel free to add me!
  • I'm interested, but have a couple questions. I don't want to run outside yet as snow, ice isn't always cleared. Can I do this on my treadmill?

    Absolutely. I'm on week 7 and I've done it all on the treadmill. I've done some reading and I may need to repeat the last few weeks once I transition to outside (but based upon the weather here, that won't be for another few months!!)

    Annnnd I stopped today.
    I have a medical issue and thought I'd push it. Now I'm in agony and there is nothing I can do to help it.
    But good luck!!!

    I would love to be in with you guys! I didn't try running until last year-LOVED IT but got off track. Would definitely love to have running buddies to compare notes with. Anyone out from SC-charleston area?

    I hate running, but nothing else gets me/keeps me in shape like running. I had to give it up in the past due to injuries. I actually started back in January, but I'm going really super slow to prevent injuries. I'd love to join. I signed up for a 5k in mid March. Whether or not I run the whole thing is still up in the air. I've been running inside, jogging around the house or running in place thus far. One of my weight loss rewards is a new treadmill which I plan to get this weekend.

    I'm on Week 2 Day 2. I've always hated running, but I really like this prgram!! The time just flies by.

    I've started and stopped this program at least twice but would absolutely LOVE to finish it! Running a 5K has been on my "to-do" list for the last couple of years and I would love to be able to set out for something and accomplish it. I'm hoping to get a gym membership this weekend so that I can stay focused and get it done.
