4 more weeks to go! I signed up for my first 5k of 2015. It's on May 9 in the town I teach in - it's actually a fundraiser for the PTO! Since it's on the coast it'll be mostly flat ground but I've heard that the wind is the real challenge.
I'm hoping that by the end of C25k I can get down to at 11:30 or under pace. That's my new goal.
Cool! I am doing my 5k on the 16th!0 -
I'm planning to run my second 5k in May. First one was a year ago in November. I didn't train or plan for it but was in better shape at that time. Wasn't prepared for running in the cold!! Time was 41:48..... Only goal this time is to do better!!! So I'm with ya!!0

Week 6
Day 1: 2.38 miles/29:00 minutes (12:11 pace)
Day 2: 2.35 miles/28:00 minutes (11:55 pace)
Day 3: 2.51 miles/31:00 minutes (11:57 pace)
Woohoo! 3 weeks to go. I'm feeling stronger. Anyone else still out there?
I've run a total of 39.88 miles in 6 weeks (18 runs). I'm glad I've been keeping track - it really shows how much work I've put in.0 -
Week 7 is done. 2.6 miles in 26 min plus another mile during the warmup and the cooldown Last week to do!
I take my phone with me every time I run outside and have MapMyRun to measure the distance and it shows 56.2 miles since I started to do c25k, but I did some runs on treadmill and I have no records of them.

Week 7
Day 1: 2.52 miles/30:00 minutes (11:54 pace)
Day 2: 2.48 miles/30:00 minutes (12:06 pace)
Day 3: 2.48 miles/30:00 minutes (12:06 pace)
I'm going to be repeating Week 7. I'm disappointed because I didn't want to have to repeat any weeks but I think it will be best for me if I do. I'd like to get to a 11:45 pace before I move on.0 -
Great job to all you who started this earlier! I just started last week (I'm on W1D3 tonight).
I forgot to record the distance for my Day 1 but I think it was around 1.5 miles. Day 2 was 1.74 but I did a little extra because I paused half way.
I got signed up for a Warrior Dash 5k in about a month & I feel SO unprepared! It's not really for competition, more for charity & fun but I think others who are on my team are probably in much better shape.
Any tips are appreciated! Message me or add me as a friend0 -

My biggest tip is to stretch after you run. It helps. A lot!0 -

I lost my motivation after kinda failing Week 7. I'm re-starting tomorrow at Week 3. This time I'll be following the program with distance instead of time. I'm aiming to run 4 times a week.0
