Ok it is week 2...many of you already know the plan but just in case here is what we need to do three times this week. Skip a day in between runs and STRETCH!!!
Brisk five-minute warmup walk. Then alternate 90 seconds of jogging and two minutes of walking for a total of 20 minutes....
we can do this, it is windy as heck here but I hope it dies down so I can do this, or I can have the wind at my back the whole time, but then how do I get home?? LOL
Good luck all!!!

you can do it. I am on week 4 of C25k, and i have found that week 3 and 4 is easier (for me) than week 2. Even though the intervals are longer, there is less of them- so for me personally it is easier. Congrats on week 2, keep up the dedication.0

Quick question...I've seen in previous topics of the C25K people were logging distance but then equaling over 30 minutes..I know you can do both, distance or time, but I want to make sure I'm not doing it wrong...is anyone else doing time (meaning 20 minutes plus 5 for warmup totaling 25 minutes?)0

I've completed week 1 and have been doing just time: 5 minute warmup + 20 minutes = 25 minutes total. I was curious to see how far I was going, so I clocked the whole thing with the car and it ended up being 1.7 miles.0

I am starting week 2 today!! I am SO SO excited! I have really grown to love my runs!0

I'm doing it on the treadmill at the moment until it gets lighter in the evenings, and i just clock time. It would be interesting to see how far I have actually gone, but I think until I am actually up to running continually for a length of time, it won't work for me to do distance - else I'll just walk the lot.0 -

this is how I am doing it also, and depending on how far I have traveled, I do a 5 to 10 minute cool down walk just to get back home.0 -
I use my the RunKeeper app to mark how far I have gone. For week 1 I was going about 2.2 miles. That includes my 5min cool down walk as well.0

I'm doing C25K with the treadmill plan and I seem to average about 2.2 miles each time I run. That includes 5 minute warm up and 5 minute cool down. I'm doing an actual 5k next week, so here's to hoping the training this go around helps!0

I am doing timed- I do it on the treadmill (it's kind of annoying switching between walking and running speeds but worth it for me- keeps my pace going strong).0 -
Just wanted to wish everyone a great week! Keep stretching, don't forget to breathe and most of all know that you're one step closer to running that 5k!!0

Couldn't get to the gym or run outside tonight, but I rode the stationary bike instead. Hoping to do W2D2 on Wednesday night.0
-
