Just noticed that there is a couch to 10k program. I have a couple of more weeks until I'm done with C25k and was wondering if I should start couch to 10k after? Has anyone done that before? Any couch to 10 k users? Thoughts on the program?

    Sorry I can't answer your questions, but I am new and I keep seeing "C25K" etc. talk. Can you explain the details of these programs? Please and thanks.

    C25k is a walking/jogging program to help people become better runners. Here's the site: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/index.shtml. I started a few weeks ago and I love it! & have seen results. I use to hate running (I tried to like it, but just didn't). Now that I'm doing the program, I love running and become a better runner! You should try it if you're interested! =)

    If you're almost done with Couch to 5K, then the next part is called Bridge to 10K. That way, you don't have to start all over from the beginning - you just pick up where you left off with C25K.

    I just finished C25K. Stop giving me ideas... Good luck if you do it, it seems like a good time.

    As far as I know they have 2 different 10K programs. One is for new runners and the Bridge to 10K is specifically for those who have just completed the C25K. I purchased this program and am hoping to start it as soon as the weather here is consistently warm.

    No - couch to 10k is the same as couch to 5k only it's shooting for a 10k in 13 weeks (instead of 5k in 9 weeks). It goes a lot slower, but the workout is twice as long.

    You probably will need to move on to "Bridge to 10k" or One Hour Runner (depending on whether you want to go back to intervals or not).

    Here's a link to a great website - this part is called "Beyond c25k":

    Also, for One Hour Runner: http://mindplunge.com/c25k/one-hour-runner.html

    I started the C210k program on May 3rd. I just finished W5D1 today.

    I started doing C25K, but felt like my workout was getting over just as I was really getting into it. I decided to go with C210k instead because I like the idea of a longer workout. 60ish minutes vs. 30ish minutes.

    I skipped week 1 and have been running 4-5 days a week. So far I'm loving it!
