Have just done W7 D1 and I'm sooo pleased. :happy: Have done it before but had to stop for a little while so took it slow and before I knew it I was up to week 7. Looking forward to doing the last week and then maybe working towards 10k.0

!!!!!
My last run was crappy and before that I didn't run for almost a week bc of a cold/injury/snowstorm. Tonight I just wanted to get my full 30 minutes in.
For the past few weeks, after 20 minutes I've been taking a couple minutes walking break to catch my breath. I was fine with it -- knew it wasn't ideal but preferred being able to finish strong.
Walked for 5 minutes tonight to warm up and then just... kept going. I didn't stop once.
For 35 minutes straight.
When my app told me the 30 was up and to cool down with 5 minutes of walking, I decided to just... keep... going. I felt great. My breathing was calm, my body wasn't sore or tired or dead, everything just clicked, so I ran right through the warm-up.
And.. I went 3.2 miles : )
I could cry with happiness right now. When I was in middle school we were doing fitness testing and I was humiliated because I chose the half mile for the running portion of it and I couldn't do it at all. Since then, I've always avoided running because obviously I couldn't do it. But I can! And I did! I just did it!!!!
My first ever 5K is next Sunday, March 2nd. I can't wait.
Awesome!0 -
Just finished Week 2... I can't wait to start Week 3 on Monday.. Signing up for a 5K somewhere in the mid-to-late April range, still need to check. I like that added accountability.0

I've been mostly lurking in this group (there is tons to read) but thought I would poke my head in and say I just finished wk5 day 2. Exhilarating! But I am shaking in my boots at what lies ahead.0

Just ran for 30 minutes (aka W9) no problem! Feeling amazing given I just started running after seven months off. :smooched:0

Done W8D1 today running for 30 minutes !!!
I'm still incredibly slow and the weight loss has slowed right down but happy with where I am
Well done everyone ....
Quick question .... Are there different versions of C25K? I see people on week 9 & 10 but my program finishes with a 40 minute run in W8D3 ... any thoughts ?0 -

Yes, there are different versions of the program. I think the original is the one that ends week 9 with 30 minute runs.0 -
Been poking my nose around this thread for a little while. Thought I'd check in Finished W3D1 of C210K yesterday, W3D2 is tomorrow. I graduated C25K back in May 2013... So glad I decided to start running again.0

W7/D1 completed. So pleased to have gotten this far.0
-
W4D3 is tomorrow - and I'm getting my jogging stroller in the mail today, woohoo! Taking the wee one with me is going to make this a helluva lot easier.
Am I the only one who has made it this far in the program without any weight loss or change in measurements? :P0 -
Congrats everyone! I love reading these updates. Great motivation and perseverance!
W7D3 for me tomorrow (today is a rest day). Ready to rock it!!0 -
I graduated from the C25K in October 2013 and ran my first 5K right after, but I've taken a break from running since then as the weather grew cold and snowy and I couldn't run at the park anymore. I've missed it a lot, though, so last week I got an indoor track membership and restarted the program - I finished Week 2, Day 1 today! I'm looking forward to having my endurance back and running some more 5Ks when the weather gets nicer.0

Congratulations! Awesome job.
I finished week 1, then had to take a week off because the kids were home sick, so I was a little leery about starting week 2 this morning. I considered redoing week 1, but in the end I went for w2d1 and I'm glad I did. I did it! Yay!0 -
Got off track for a couple of weeks but am getting in gear. My first 5K (I'll do run-walk) is in 11 days.0
