That's incredible! That makes me want to try it... but anytime I try running on a hard surface, it absolutely kills my knees. Anyone out there with knee problems that have found success with c25K? Maybe I should start a new thread for this, lol. Congrats on your success, that is totally amazing! I would be sooo happy to be able to run for even ONE mile!!!0

Congrats!!!! Working on Week 7 and never imagined that I would be running for 25 minutes!!0

That's awesome. congrats.
I do have a question though. I just completed week 8/ started week 9. I ran for 30 min straight. How long have you been doing it where you got to the mileage? In my 30 minutes I did 2 miles. I am thinking it would take like another 3 weeks if I add 5 minutes a week. Is that how you did it, or were you running distance each time?
I was just wondering (before I saw this post) if I did the time but couldn't quite get the distance if that counted too.0 -

When I first started, I was running in my Nike Shox and my knees hurt, a lot! So, I got fitted for some running shoes and purchased them online (Brooks Adrenaline GTS) and once I started using the correct shoes for my running style, my knee pain went away. I still have a little pain every now and again, but it is not a big deal (to me).
But, I am not a doctor, so I don't want to tell you to go run a marathon with bad knees, but getting the right shoes really helped me, personally.0 -

Honestly, this whole time I had just been running for time, not distance. But on the very last day of the program, I mapped out 3 miles and just told myself I was going to run it no matter how long it took me. So, that was the first time I actually ran for distance. So, doing it for time only definitely counts because doing it that way prepared me to be able to run for as long as I did.0 -
Congratulations on finishing C25K!!! You must be sooo proud. I'll be starting week 8 on Wednesday. I still can't believe that just a few short weeks ago I could barely keep going for 1 minute and now I'm going for 25+ minutes. Exciting. The program truly does work. You've just got to believe in yourself.0

Awesome! Way to go! I started C25K almost 2 months ago, and then used this as an onramp into training for a longer period of time ... I found a free resource at Runnersworld.com called the Smart Coach that lets you either maintain or aim for a specific event. It will give you distances, ideal mile paces, etc. I have 5K's this month and next ... and 10K's in May and July.
You're awesome!0 -
Great job!!!! I totally know the feeling! I just finally ran a 5k on Monday, also using the C25K plan! I have my first 5k event this weekend, so just in time!
It's amazing knowing that a minute was too much to begin with and now ALMOST AN HOUR is doable!!! :-)0 -
That is brilliant. Just what I needed to hear. I'm only at W2D2 and you just gave me hope.0

Congrats!!! That's an amazing achievement!
I was running (sort of) until I had foot op in November. Big toe joint fusion - not sure if, or when, I'll start again. Have to learn to walk properly again first.....:ohwell:
