I see the Day 1 thread for the kick off. How about a thread where we can post the results each day or time you've done your workout.

I'll start it with my results from yesterday.

- 549 calories burned
- 65 minutes
- 3.75 miles
- Various inclines from 2% - 13%

Was planning on today being a rest day but if I change my mind and get on mine today, will post those results afterwards.

    This is a great idea. I haven't run on the treadmill yet as the weather is still okay outside but I will be on the treadmill soon. I hope this group is active. It'll be a lot of fun over the winter and very encouraging for all of us.

    Not sure if my treadmill calorie counter is lying to me. I have it on the highest incline and did 4k but said I only burnt off 120 calories. I was jogging for a lot of this? Not sure but it always seems low...

    I've been away from the treadmill for a few days, and ate a dominos in the week, ready to get back on tomorrow morning!

    Does the heart rate monitor tell you how many calories you are burning? I might invest in one? I know nothing about them! Your routine was similar to what I ran but the "computer" on my treadmill said only 120 cal burnt

    Did you enter your weight and height into the treadmill? 120 calories is too low, for sure, but perhaps not for someone 2 ft tall, weighing 50 lbs (as an extreme, silly example)?

    It does not give me the option to input my weight and height, it's not an overly expensive treadmill but it was not cheap either. I am going to look at one of them heart rate monitors on amazon.

    the heart rate monitor does give you your calorie burn. I have a polar fit I don't remember the model . It was around $70 and works really well

    I had my first treadmill workout of the season today. It's blustering with really heavy winds and sheets of driving rain.

    443 calories burned
    Ran 7Km (4.375 miles) in 56:20 at speeds between 7.5-8.5 Km/hr (4.7-5.3 miles/hr)
    Walked 1.3K in 14:40, which includes a 2-minute (0.18Km) warm-up walk to start off and a 12:40 (1.12Km) cool-down walk at the end.
    Total time on the treadmill: 71 minutes

    Hello All,

    Today I repeated Week 1 Day 3 of C25K.

    - Walked at 3.5 mph and ran at 5.0 mph.

    Once I completed that 30 min routine, I walked for another 15 mins at 3.5. I burned a total of 309 calories.

    Hey Nikon, GREAT JOB on your increase!!

    Good Night All!! :)

    Great work all!! I also did the C25K on the treadmill. Was a great program. Just decided I'm better off walking than running. Easier on my body.

    Yesterday's work out was
    629 calories burned
    4.15 miles
    70 minutes
    1%-13% incline.

    Hello All,

    Today I repeated the C25K W1D3 routine. I'm feeling comfortable with week 1 so maybe moving on to week 2 won't feel as challenging as before. I also decided to workout longer after my 30 min C25K routine and walked for another 32 mins.

    401 Calories
    3.011 Miles
    62.17 minutes
    2% incline
    first 30 mins rotated between 3.0 and 5.0 speed.
    last 30 mins, I walked between 2.0 and 3.0

    3% incline
    Run intervals 6 mph

    Thanks addiec1! I'm still at it...Yesterday I repeated W1D3 with a constant 2% incline. I'm finding that it's getting much easier. By the time I'm at my last run, it feels like I've done just enough before I feel like giving up. I think I'll keep repeating until it's much easier before going to another week. I'm also trying to do this routine more than 3 times a week.

    Walking, 3.0 mph, mod. pace - 40 minutes - twice - once in the morning & once at night; Calories burned 496 per MFP.

    For the heck of it, I tried 3 other calculators using weight, height, speed/distance and age -- those came out at 522, 528 & 598... I am sticking with MFP numbers.

    I went back to W2D1 of C25K, it wasn't too bad! I'll probably stick with week 2 for two weeks like I did with week 1.

    5 min warm up walk at a brisk pace, then alternate 90 seconds of jogging and two mins of walking for total of 20 mins and then 5 min cool down.

    walk 3.0, jog 5.0 2% incline, lowered two 0% a couple of times
    2.028 dist
    264 calories burned.

    I'm excited!

    455kcal burnt - 30 minute session - I got a heart watch thingy, so I am assuming this is accurate data, my treadmill said less than 70cal burnt. Very suspicious, the watch I got had a strap around the heart and said I was at 170 beats when most active and around 110 went walking normally (albeit grabbing my water bottle from the garage)..

    I don't track calories burned on my treadmill time - use a TDEE method with my Fitbit. (That, and my treadmill does not allow to enter user settings so the burn is for some fictional person I've never met. He burns a LOT of calories when I'm on the treadmill though.)

    55 minute session, 4.271 miles total. Ran a mile @ 5.0mph, 3x, with walking in between. My best yet!
