Hi,

Last year I was regularly on it, but then lost touch. Last week, I downloaded again, this time to make it more serious.

One thing I wanted to know is, is anyone doing this program daily or just 3 days/week as mentioned?

Since, I'm in Obese category, I wanted to know, if running daily, would cause any injury to legs or not?

Thanks,
Kris

If you are fairly new to running I definitely wouldn't suggest doing it every day. The way I've been doing it is every other day. (Except today because i did 2 days in a row due to schedule). And I was dragging butt today.

Congrats to all of you! I just completed W7D3, and I am pumped. I'm curious as to how running more will increase my time, but I'll just have to wait and see.

Kris, welcome! I'm not a running expert, but everything I've read suggest NOT running more frequently when you are new at it. Apparently, you can experience injuries. A fitness instructor recommended lifting weights to help lose the weight. I try to do weight training on the days I don't run. Wishing you all the best!

Thanks a lot. In fact, back in India (few months ago) I was regularly doing heavy cardio (on treadmill for 45-60 mins) but then, the time I moved to Paris, i just stopped it. Became a bit lazy.. :-)

You're right. I'll take it bit slowly initially, but then, now I started directly with W5D1 and it was good. I didnt feel any difficulty at all. So, tomorrow would be my W5D2. For me the prblem here in Paris is, difficulty in going to gym. Its hard to find a good gym with a reasonable price. So, i'm unable to do strength training and only resting on "Calorie deficit" & "Cardio" for fat loss.

Thank you. I got a gap of few months in between, before which, I used to do good cardio, with treadmill running and jumping jacks. But then, its been around 4 months, i didnt do anything and just started couple of days before.

So, i will take it slowly (not to injure myself) and then may be increase.

Finished W6D3 today. Glad I got it in before the rain (expected later today).
Have a great weekend everyone!

W1D3 tomorrow. I am really slow, keep wondering if I will ever get faster.

I wouldn't worry about being slow. Personally I think there are far more slow runners than fast ones. Concentrate on having fun, being "in the moment" and proud of your accomplishments. Great job!

week 6 day 3 done! :happy: and the next 2 weeks no more walking intervals :grumble: ...congratulations to all of you, let's finish this program!!!

Yesterday I completed W6D2. That was my last one with any walking intervals. I am almost glad though, because I felt like the 3 min walk between the 10 min runs was more annoying than helpful. Let's finish this program!!!!

I am feeling very confident about this! Yay!

Completed W7D1 today; can't believe there's only two more weeks left.
It seriously flew by! Anyone else think so?
I don't want it to end!

I'm only in week 3 but also think it's home fast. Don't let it end, go right into couch to 10 k

This morning was W7D1 and yes, I do not want it to end LOL I enjoyed the walking/jogging weeks and now it is all running but it's amazing how the body can adjust!
Good job everyone!!
