    Can I join in to? I did c25k 3 years ago and got as far as week 7...then found out I was pregnant and quit running. I want to complete it this time! I'll be running T, Th, and Sat. :)

    W1 D2 done here, definitely easier than the first session and I actually really enjoyed it. I used the podcast from runningintoshape which was really helpful and kept me going, looking forward to another run on Friday using the rock podcast this time! I'm so determined to do this, and I love that I can get out and enjoy the countryside around me at the same time.

    I did the first day yesterday. Well I attempted. Its clear I'm going to be stuck on week one for a while. I couldn't run the whole time it told me to but I tried to keep walking at a faster pace when I just couldn't anymore. Oh well, a little discouraged but I knew I wasn't a runner when I started. But I WILL be when I finish this! Maybe tomorrow will be better. Today, I'm gonna a nice walk at my own (read as "slow") pace. :-)

    hey just came across this post and funnily enough i completed week 1 day 1 already today! can you add me to the list please?? I have to say the jogging was fine, the last two runs i started to get tired but i think thats because i had already walked 2 miles at 4mph immediately before starting...probably not my wisest decision.
    Will do c25k first and then 2 mile walk from now on i think.
    can feel the stiffness in the front of my thighs already but stretched, had some protein/water and had a hot shower so hope its not too bad tomorrow!

    ill be doing it on tuesdays, thursdays and saturdays :) good luck everyone!

    That's what I did... ATTEMPTED. Some people's walks are faster than my runs. I jogged some on the runs but ended up mostly walking as fast as I could which wasn't much. At least we are trying and we will get better as we go!

    Good morning. I have been seeing this C25K on here and had no idea what it was. I just looked it up and am intrigued. I just downloaded the app for my iPhone and I am going to start day one this afternoon. Please add me to your list. Thank you.

    There is an app for the iPhone? Yay what do I look for?

    C25K (Bluefin Software, LLLC...it's the Top App for and for an extra .99 you can get a gps for it, which I did purchase! Love it so far:) A little voice tells me when to walk and when to run and when I'm half way there! You can even share it on Facebook and Twitter.

    Just completed W2 D1..it was harder but was a good push. It was a lot easier to completed W1 D3 then I expected so I was up to the challenge of starting week 2. Idk if this is happening to anyone else but my shins cramp up a bit while walking but are completely fine during the jogging parts. Ive been stretching before/after and invested in a good pair of trainers...Any ideas?

    Week 1 Day 2 done. Calves ached in first run but OK after that.


    Now TMI - my tummy has been very "irritable" since Monday(first run), wondered if I should have taken toilet paper with me Anybody know if this settles as you go on??

    Thanks

    I've had the same kind of troubles, might be "runner's diahrrea" :sick: Hate to tell ya, but I think that only gets worse... You might want to watch what you eat beforehand (if you eat anything before it at all)...
