    I am on week 4 of couch to 5k. more running now than walking. i like it but my problem is that i feel so hungry right after. But I must learn to be more wise in my food intake.

    After being out of the running game for two years I completed the couch to 5k program in March. Since then I have completed 2 5ks and yesterday I completed a 10k. The hardest part for me was the middle of the training program. Stick with it- you will do great!

    I'll do it with you hun, we're got to stick together if we're going to nip this thing in the butt. I think we are finally on the right path to healthy, happy lives. Good luck to us both.:love:

    I want to start it however I am away quite a lot so that is stopping me and have now decided will start anyway and keep going as best as I can when I am away as long as I start otherwise will keep putting it off. Thanks for the motivation.

    I'm doing the c210k program (it's runs are shorter, walks are longer but the workout is twice as long). I just started week 5.

    I've been hearing about this. i just did my first 5k on April 2nd. However, I mostly walked with some jogging. I want to be able to jog/run the whole thing next time. So I'm in.

    I just started yesterday...I have never jogged a day in my life...and I have to admit it sucked. By the time I got home it was snowing...I managed to run 4 minutes and walk 25...it wasn't an epic fail, but hard on my ego...tomorrow I will do day 2 of week 1. My hips are definitely screaming at me lol, I have a lot of butt to haul around

    I have done w1d2 and am doing day 3 tomorrow. the second day was much harder than the first and I must remember to stretch afterwards as I was a bit stiff and sore in the legs yesterday. I'm loving it and am looking forward to tomorrow. Keep at it!!
