Great! Do you see the difference between the treadmill and running outside?

I do enjoy running outside just haven't been doing it since its been so nasty here in NJ. I've been itching for the better weather for a while now lol. I can't believe I'm saying this but I can wait for the 20 minute run on Sunday!

Yes, I remember how scared I was of this long run when I did c25k last year. However, I did it. And thousands of others did it too
You'll do fine and will enjoy the feeling after!

Week 3 day 1 today...and could totally have done a couple extra runs
*feeling smug*0 -
Ran my first 7k today. Came in at 45;45 for a time, my goal was 45 mins. If it hadn't been for the ten THOUSAND other people, I would have probably made it. I felt like I was swimming upstream, lol. Still can't believe I did it
If you would have told me back last summer that I would even attempt this, I'd have laughed in your face. So happy!0 -

W3D1 is also due for me this week. I might do it tonight or tomorrow. Fingers crossed

yesterday i completed w1d3. The first day i ran indoors the second and third outside. Yesterday was hard and i'm feeling it today. Big difference from flat to outside with hills. I did two miles for day 2 and 3. they both wasn't within 30 minutes but i completed it in less than 35 minutes.
I'm contemplating repeating week one as i was huffing and puffing during the runs although half the time i'm running up hill. did you guys repeat weeks? I have two days till my next run, but im going to try and go for walks or something over the next couple days to get use to more movement.
I'm not where i want to be but i want to really do this. Ive never been fast prior to this out of shape time and most my 5ks where around the 40ish minute mark a few years ago. However, this time i really want to do it and do it well.
I did complete week 1 and i ran the full minute every time she said it was hard at times but i did it. So i count this week as a success in the exercise world . although my body is feeling it a bit the next day its not a bad feeling but, i feel like i accomplished something feeling.
If you can let me know how your week 1 did and thoughts on repeating weeks. i may feel different on the actually run day, but i'm curious if you guys struggled as well on your first week.

For me there is a lot of difference between the treadmill in the gym and some hills outside, so I hear you Many people repeat weeks, which is fine - do what your body tells you to do 0 -
Im new to MyFitnessPal. I just started my journey 4 days ago. I retired from the Marine Corps and put on a bit of weight. So now the fight is on to get back to my fighting weight. I hope to develop some friendships and a support net as I pursue my goal of losing 30 lbs.0

Welcome! And thank you for your service!
I've only recently starting using the boards and find it a huge help in staying motivated.

Hiya all W3D1 done. I managed to do 3 intervals of 90 seconds, 2 of 3 minutes, and at the end another one of just over 90 seconds. It was raining today and I considered not running. But it didn't rain in about a year here, and it was warm so I decided to go nontheless. Do you go running when it rains? 0

Maaaannnn, I am slow, but I am doing it! I really can't believe I ran for 25 minutes tonight! Week 7 Day 1 done!

1st run after graduation did the 30 min run again. It felt much better than the first one. 0

DONE!!!! I actually completed the program last week, but forgot to post. I am nowhere near the 10 minute mile the app tells me I should be at, but I can run a full 5k and that is all I wanted! Next step....10k! Last night I even ran 3.25 miles on the treadmill (the treadmill kills me; it is so much easier to run outside for me). I seriously love the c25k app!0

Nice run! Yes, I do run when it rains (if it's warm) - I come back all soaked anyway

I needed to slow down the pace....kinda sucks because I don't want to be "slow" but I'd rather be slow and finish than gasping for breath halfway through.
