I'm looking for friends that are doing this program, or have done it.
I just started it today and would like to kind of compare notes with people who are doing it and kind of be like a small motivation group.
:)

    Lol I've been slacking too. I bought this program probably 2-3 months ago and just started :p
    Hope day 3 goes well!

    I just did W3D3 today. I'm loving this program so far. I'm signed up to do a 5K on June 4 so I'm fully committed!

    I'm confused, you 'bought' this program? It is a guide on a website as far as I know. It is totally free to read the instructions and go outside and follow them.

    I'm just ultra curious and hoping that you didn't get ripped off somehow :(

    I am on W3D3 but am taking a break. I am not doing well jogging for a long time all at once :(

    I bought it for like 3 bucks in the app store for my iPhone. That way it plays on my phone as I'm doing the program and lets me know when to run/walk, etc

    I just did week one, day one tonight. Didn't go as well as I had hoped but I am going to keep working at it. Good luck to everyone here that is doing the program! :smile:

    Keep with it girls, it will certainly make you into runners.

    I couldn't run more than half a mile straight when I started the program on February 7th. Now, 20 lbs lighter, graduated from the program, I can run a full 5k without any walking.

    Before the program, I did a test 5k, just to see how fast I could walk/run one, and got 40 minutes. My best now is 33. So I went from half a mile of running at a time to a full 5k and shed 7 minutes off my time.

    Good stuff. Stick with it.

    I am doing W8D2 tomorrow. I never thought I could get to week 3 much less week 8. Incredible program.

    I am on W2D1....
    So far, so good.
    Downloaded mp3's with music and someone telling you when you walk and run.... it's just perfect for me.

    Hope to work up to a 5K this summer. Ran/walked 2 last fall but couldn't run the whole 5K. Hopefully this will train me to run the whole way without pooping out.

    Ah, ok! I am not technologically advanced, and these so called cell phones are far beyond my grasp of understanding :wink:

    I just started yesterday :) I'm a little behind, as it's really hard to jog for a whole minute after only walking 90seconds inbetween

    I just started yesterday! I made it through pretty well, but I've been working on the elliptical for a solid 4 months so I've built at least some strength in my legs.

    @sunsetwest it's always good to have built up endurance for cardio!

    I started last week and repeating week 1 starting tomorrow.I was still struggling even after I after a fourth day to week 1.I just bought the Iphone app too. I like that it plays music from your playlist and the voice prompts make it easier to get through.

    I am just getting ready to start this. I have tried this before and it was going really well but then life happened and I had to take w week off and never really got into it after that. So this time I am going to sign up for a 5k in july which will force me to stay on track. Hopefully that will work.
