I did a redo of my W3 D3 workout last night to make sure I can do it. The worst thing was on Tuesday night I was doing squats and lunges, so running Wednesday was a bit more painfull then I wanted. Walking, sitting, and getting up really hurt this morning.0

So I completed W6D1 yesterday and I have to say, I felt great afterwards. I wasn't hugely out of breath or dying inside like usual. I felt like I could go home and get stuff done before the inevitable nap! I slowed my speed down to about 4.7 for both runs so I'm sure thats why, but I felt great!0

Today is off day.
Most recent was Saturday: 5 min Wup, 10R,5W,10R,5 min Cdown. I'm a bit sore in the glutes and thighs today but some of that is I was at a conference Thurs/Fri/Sat and did a LOT more walking than I typically do on weekdays (I have sedentary cubicle job).0 -
Completed Week 5 Day 2 today. Wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Next workout is the 20 minute run. I'm definitely going to take that one slow and steady. Great job getting your running in everyone!0

Great going again, everyone! Listen to Varda when she says to slow down, it makes all the difference - and as a bonus you might have a tiny bit of extra stuff to give at the end in a final push.
I just did W4D3 and will move on to W5 later this week. Had my period last week and felt oddly "watery" both up in the head and in the nether regions, sorry if it's TMI for someone. So it felt good to be back out there today.0 -
I have finished W8D3, doing C25K in conjunction with a winter running program (long runs were via the program, but I generally used C25K during the week for the 30-40 minute sessions). This is my second round of C25K. (There is a half round prior to these two.) Instead of finishing with a 5K, I will be running my first 10K in May. I am concentrating on finishing, not on racing. If I dare race, it's all over at mile 4.
I found C25K to be easier each time I attempt it. It is a great tool for getting back into training after a short hiatus.0 -

Well done, how are things going now?I have finished W8D3, doing C25K in conjunction with a winter running program (long runs were via the program, but I generally used C25K during the week for the 30-40 minute sessions).

You've been challenged to W5D1! I just came back from those 15 minutes of running.Did W4D30 -
I just finished W1D2 this morning. Endurance-wise it was as easy as the first day. (I did not find the running hard at all, didn't get as winded as I expected... many years ago I couldn't run even 30 seconds without busting a lung). Physically, the first day I had really sore hips afterwards (IT bands) that lasted 2 days, and sore feet that lasted 3. I did better today, and stretched right after the run, and again when I got home (I drive to a dirt packed trail to run- pavement is too hard) then rolled out legs/hips with a foam roller. Hip pain is almost gone, so I will make sure this is my routine every time I run from now on. I feel so accomplished after running that I feel I want to go out and run again!0

I just did W1D2 too. A little faster than W1D1 because I got a decent sports bra today which meant that I wasn't jogging and trying to "hold myself in". It's nice to see everyone at different places in the program.0

I think it's inspirational to read of all the different experiences. Makes me feel like it's one long continuum and all I have to do is focus on staying on the wagon, crawl back up if I fall down, and people will cheer me on no matter where I am.
Feel free to post anytime, I've run as far as week 8 until I twisted my ankle during normal walking. Varda and other graduates seem to pop by every so often, but I'll motivate myself by checking this thread daily from now on.0 -
I graduated c25k in early March ran a 5k then have kind of gotten out of a run schedule. I can run a full mile wiouthout stopping on the treadmill but not outside. Think its mostly mental for me at this point. So this week I went to an outside track Im doing an interval run. Run 1/4 mile walk 1/4 mile interval for 1.5 miles three times a week. Yesterday I felt good so I did 2 miles. Doing it three times a week. This week Im going to attempt to run 1/2 walk 1/2 intervals. My goal is to be able to run a mile in a month.0

It's something that many say; more difficult to run outside. Why do you think that is? I've only ever run on sand roads and pavement.0

For me it's the opposite. I hate the treadmill, I find it so boring and don't like the feel of it beneath me. I've only walked on the treadmill before, but I would much rather go out hiking and climb hills than walk on a steady steep incline on treadmill... And I do that every Friday.. Ugh. So I don't think I will try running on a treadmill any time soon.0
