W7D2 today and it was 91 degrees...I didn't make it. I am so disappointed. I think I started too fast even though it was unintended. It felt like an easy pace but I guess at 91 degrees with 50% humidity, it was just too much. The worst part is, I had to do W7D1 on a treadmill and went past my 25 minutes. Today I only made it 20 so I have to repeat it. Ugh, I don't like failing.0

if i could be up at 6am i would be running then. still dreading going out tonight, it is supposed to cool down as the week goes on.
I know I can run 5 minutes but i still can not imagine running 30 minutes...I am very excited to see if i can though:)
I didn't think I'd be able to run 5 mins let alone 30 but I'm doing it. This program is awesome! I was NOT a runner at all. Now, I'm actually enjoying it. You can do it!!0 -
I'm doing C25K with my husband; we're repeating week 4 right now. This is the first time I've had to repeat, and I'm not sure how much the excess heat and humidity have to do with it. I want to run outside as long as possible, but once the heat gets unbearable, I may try moving inside to the elliptical. I know its not the same, and I am worried about how much progress I will lose. Last night we didn't get back until 9:45 trying to escape the heat (unseasonally hot right now)
I am running better now than I have in my whole adult life (sad!). I never could run more than a few minutes straight, even in high school, and I want to keep the progress going!!! I'm loving this program, and am very glad that the hubby has been joining me
Good luck everyone!0 -
Yesterday I did w2d1 and it was hard for me! I did finishbut it was a challenge. My next day will be tomorrow and hopefully it will prove to be a little easier as i progress.0

W8D2 is in the books! Did 2.8 miles in 31 mins. I think that's pretty good.
Queta -Iit will get easier as you progress. During those beginning weeks just the 90 secs/2 mins of running felt like forever!! The walking break couldn't come soon enough. Just keep at it and I'm sure you'll be amazed at your progress/results!
Keep it up & good luck everyone!!0 -
hey everyone!
I just started with c25k today (it was actually quite fun) and hope to stick to this program. I'll try c210k once I finish with 5k. posting here so I won't 'forget'
Good luck to us all0 -
Week 8 is complete!!! I'm feeling really good. Can't believe next week is the last week of this and I'll be running 3 miles! Talk about having a sense of accomplishment! I remember the 1st few weeks, wasn't sure I'd make it to 3 miles cuz I couldn't wait for the walking intervals, but what a difference. Such an awesome program. Love it!!!
Hope everyone else is doing just as good!!0 -

CONGRATULATIONS! You are almost a GRADUATE! :bigsmile:0 -
W9D1 of C25K is done! I ran the full 3 miles!! I'm so happy I actually made it the entire distance without having to stop!! Never did I think I'd be able to, especially in the 1st couple of weeks of the program when I couldn't wait to get to the walking intervals! My time was 33:17. A little over an 11 min mile. I'll take it! :happy:0

Hi all
I am on week 5 of C25K and completed run 2 this morning. (8 minutes running, 5 mins walking, 8 mins running).
But, I don't get why the 3rd run of week 5 takes you up to 20 minutes straight running - but then run 1 of Week 6 goes back to a block of running followed by walking-running-walking-running??
Does it do this for a reason? Just seems bit odd to leap suddenly from an 8 minute run up to 20 minutes, and then back to 3, 5 or 8 minutes again...?0 -
hi guys!
im week 6 now! doing a modified version as i can only manage a run once or twice a week due to work/family etc etc. I went straight for the run as the walks i feel have been holding me back! and i was sooo pleased i managed it! i think i will now only be running unless i start to struggled. im so pleased with this as i could barely run 3 mins on week 3!!!0 -
Yay - I've graduated! It's w9d3 and I've just run the 5k, or 3.1 miles, in 34.52, at 5.4 mph. Really pleased with myself, as I had already decided to repeat week 9 before I tried for the full 5k!
Now to work on the speed, and may be a few hills ...0 -

Hi Everyone,
I just started C210K today. I actually finished C25K a few months ago and have been running around 30 minutes a few times a week. But have been getting frustrated trying to move on from there. I have a couple of reasons for wanting to try C210K now, rather than one hour runner or bridge to 10k. One reason is because I did the entire C25K program on the treadmill and when I run outside in my neighborhood there are a lot of hills. So I'm hoping if I do the whole program outside I can conquer those hills slowly and build up the endurance to continue doing them. My second reason for doing this program is to try to work on my speed.
I did really well with C25K, so I'm hoping for the same success with this one. I didn't start at the beginning because I have been running, so I decided to start with week 4. I completed W4D1 tonight, total of 62 minutes, according to runkeeper, most of my runs were around 5.4mph.
Happy running!0 -
I just did W1D1 today. I like the concept of c25k since (15 years and 120 pounds ago) I used to run 3 miles per day, and because I have a personal goal of running a 5k in November. That being said, I am a little concerned that at my current weight (328 pounds), I might injure myself be jogging. Any advice?0
