Yesterday I completed W9D2 and I got injured :frown: I really want to cry...
Aw man! I twisted my ankle in a sidewalk pothole on W9D1 : ( It's so frustrating. How did you hurt yourself?0 -
Well done everyone! We are doing so well. W7 D2 done today.
Stuggled a bit today, got a stich so slowed up a bit. Going to do day 3 tomorrow and then going to stop and re-start after my holiday next week
. Will have started a new job so no more gym at lunch time. Going to move my running to the park, so I think I will go back to W4 or 5 and start again from there 0 -

Congratulations on graduating
My achilles tendon felt a bit funny, but it wasn't painful so I ran anyway. When I was done and I started walking it began to hurt a lot and I realised it was very swollen. Went to the doctor today and it turns out I have achilles tendonitis.![:\](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")

Completed W5D2 this morning. A slower pace and focus on keeping my posture vertical but no pain in the hind quarters.
Dreading the big W5D3 on Saturday, but.... it's got to be done!0 -

W8D1 for me today!0 -
Joining this thread again as I work through C25K after a broken fibula.
Finished W2D3 today. For some reason, the early intervals felt REALLY tough today, but the later ones got easier. I think I may need to do a longer warm up walk. I'm still fighting the urge to jump ahead a couple more weeks since I know I could run a whole 5k in November, but I'm letting my ankle get used to it gradually, and I know that's the way to go.0 -
W4D2 complete!0
-
While I graduated :happy: over the weekend, I'm still running! I went a solid 30 earlier this week and an effortless 15 tonight. Wanted to keep going (despite some crazy cold wind) but I'm tapering off leading up to my first ever 5k on Sunday. I went up to the course over the weekend and, uh, there are some pretty seriously massive, insane hills. It's intimidating for sure but I'm just going to go with the flow and do the best I can do!0

W5D3 completed! I can't believe how easy it was!
It has been hard to keep up with it this winter, but am so excited to have gotten this far!0 -

W8D1 completed! This is my last week on the programme......0

Restarted C25K today. I have done through week 3 about 4X over the last year but then something comes up and I stop. But I am hoping to get through this time. The run today felt really good.0

W3D1 complete and I loved it! Even though I got caught in a hail storm and my first 3 min run fell on the steepest incline of my route.
I felt genuinely disappointed when that voice in my earphones told me to 'cool down'. I wanted to run again!0 -
Wow, the switch from treadmill to outdoors is going to be tough! I gave week 8 day 2 a go outside, but wasn't able to run for more than 4 1/2 min at a time (which was partially due to my lungs). Think I will restart the c25k about half way through and go for distance when doing outside runs. Headed back in to the treadmill tonight--still haven't been able to do more than 25 minutes, so trying again for 28 today.0

Just finished W4D1.. I can't wait for this cold weather to go away, I'm tired of running in the cold haha (NJ here). Can't believe I actually made it to week 4 and completed it without an issue, I even wanted to keep going, who whould've thunk it.0

I am also new here (well, newly active, been a member for a year, but only finally started logging my food a couple of weeks ago) and I completed Week 1 Day 1 this morning! I'm doing it on the roads around my house, so it was a 1.5 mile loop. Instead of sticking religiously to the 60 secs/90 secs X 8 pattern, I just alternated jogging from one electric pole to the next, then walking for two electric poles. Only got six repeats in, but that brought me the full 1.5 miles and took about 25 minutes (including warm up /cool down). Getting out of the house was hard, but the actual process was not as terrible as I'd feared!0

I'm new here and just started the c25k yesterday, but after serving jury duty alllllll day today now I'm finally out it's raining like crazy sooo I may repeat day 1 week 1 tomorrow just as a refresher and continue..... but I will be working out which I am about to do now :-)0

Repeated Week 1 Day 1 on the treadmill. I may be slow and look ridiculous, but I’m doing it! 0

W8D2 completed today. Just one more day left! Had to run 28 minutes today but kept going as I felt good and wanted to see If I could reach 5k before needing to stop. And I DID!! Took me 38 minutes in total to run 5K but I did it....feeling happy. Will work on my speed over the next few months.0

Right on! Keep at it, and you will totally surprise yourself. :flowerforyou:
W9D1 tomorrow! My last run was supposed to be 5minWU, 28minRUN, 5minCD.... but I may have run for 30 mins anyway. :devil: Bring it on, Week 9!!0 -

Great job for getting started! I completed W2 D1 yesterday, and the biggest take-a-way that I have is the difference between running on the treadmill and terrain. The treadmill is a lot easier. I am not a huge outdoors person, but I will be training at least once a week on "mother earth!":laugh:0 -
I did not want to go run this morning. I talked myself into it, and I felt wonderful when I was finished. I was dreading the W2 D1. It was a little harder than last week, but not nearly as bad as I had let myself believe it to be. Now I just looked at next week, and seeing a full three minute run, when 90 seconds feel so difficult is scaring me to death! I guess I will be having some long talks with myself ... again!0

Week 6 Day 2 complete.
It's weird to think that from now on, there are no walking breaks.
It's a little milestone. By the end of March I'll be running the 30 mins! Hard to believe.0 -
For everybody who's graduating and wants to work on speed: all you need to do at this point is keep running. You will notice yourself running faster over the next few months as your body continues to adapt to running.
My best advice to you is to keep getting out there, keep running and keep adding a mile a week until you hit at least 15 miles a week. You don't need to kill yourself trying to go fast. The conversational pace you've been using will get you there just as quickly.
Starting to work on a 10k program is an efficient way to get faster. If you do a program that focuses on the 5k distance, which is also fine, you'll find yourself running 6 miles for your long run in about three months anyway. Your body needs miles to continue growing as a runner at this point. Just keep running 0 -

Thanks for this advice, yesterday I ran my 1st 5k complete in 38 mins 16 seconds. Not fast I know but im going to stick at the same pace for now and just try to increase my mileage each week as you suggest. Is it better to do 5k 4 times a week or try and run 3 times a week but a longer distance? I have been doing 2 miles or so 5 times a week for last 2wks whilst going through the C25k.....Any other advice is much appreciated.0 -
Finished W6D2. It was harder for me than the 20 min run. I don't understand why, unless I was trying to run at a faster pace. (That may also explain why I've a little pain in my leg when I move today -- am hoping it's not shin splits.)0
