Completed week 5, exercise 2 yesterday. Looking forward for my first 20 minutes run without walking tomorrow afternoon.
Greetings from Germany!1 -
Hey! Yesterday I completed w5d2. Tomorrow I will be doing the dreaded w5d3...a 20 minute straight jog! I am aiming for running a 5k on August 23. We can do this!
C25k is a great program. What app do you all use? I use the ZenLabs app myself.0 -
Wow some of you are really having great success...makes me hopeful0

I am starting the app this week. I wanted to start it a few weeks ago but found D1W1 was too much for me. I think saying it starts from the couch may apply for some people... but NOT ME! LOL
I think I've build up enough to try to start again.
I want to do this so badly! I've a friend that has lost 150 pounds and this was his inspiration to start running. And now he is my inspiration.
I've never been a runner so this is completely new to me. Any suggestions that anyone has are greatly appreciated.0 -
I am starting tomorrow, Tuesday. I completed the program about 3 years ago but didn't stick with running so now I'm starting over. My only concern is the heat and humidity!
Good luck everyone! Feel free to add me!0 -
I started the program last week. And I have the same goal. August 23rd, I will be running/walking/completing the 5K Color Run!!!!0

I just completed Week 1 of the Running Mate 5K101. For those of you who are having trouble with the C25K program, give this one a try as it starts slower with only a 2 min jog followed by walking on Week 1. I did this program at the beginning of the year and completed a 5K in March and it was awesome. unfortunately I then did not run for 5 weeks and lost my training progress. So I am starting over again.0

I'm new to this group. I will be starting C25K tonight and have already signed up for a 5k walk run in September (ready or not).
Good Luck Everyone!!!0 -

Went well. Excited to get through the program and attempt my first 5k!

Started C25K day one yesterday. Wasn't able to run yet, but I did walk briskly the entire time. Hoping I can jog some of the time today. I'm using the C25K app.
Good Luck Everyone!!!0 -
Hey! I just finished Week 2 yesterday. I've been alternating Couch to 5k with gym days. I just got new running shoes and I signed up for a race on August 30. It's so awesome that there's a group for this0
