I had a cold so I skipped three days and rest.. Today I was going to attempt a run, ran 2.5km when my left leg went numb :S I don't know if it is because I ran on the road then the sidewalk (I usually run on the sidewalk). Walked for 10 minutes then ran again for another 10. Numbness in the left shin/ankle came back. Kind of feeling discouraged right now.

Your body may still be recuperating. Stretch well, eat well, and see how it goes next run.

Seven weeks ago, I started C25K. It has been a process, with some days of exhilaration, some days of discouragement, some days of pride, some days of frustration. Although I ran yesterday, I decided I wanted to go out again tonight. It was a beautiful run, made all the sweeter because tomorrow is my birthday and being able to run 20 min with relative ease is such a gift to myself.

Finished W8-1. I think I could have kept going, at least a little longer, so I'm hopeful about finishing this week and bumping the time up again next weekSlainte831 wrote: »Seven weeks ago, I started C25K.

That's excellent! And happy birthday 0 -
Great work everyone!
I finished Week 1. No incline today, walks at 3.5 mph, jogs at 5mph. 1.9 miles0 -
Week 3 Day 1 finished. I have to admit, running 3 minutes was hard! BUT, I did it!

w7d3 done. I ran for 6.29 miles straight because of an August challenge. I made the challenge, but more importantly, I ran the farthest I have ever done in one go!0
-
w2d1 done!
The first time I completed w1d1 was August 5 so it's slow going (and I took some time off because I was getting twinges of pain under one foot), but the advice (from here) to slow down had really helped.0 -

W8D1 completed first time doing it on a treadmill.. i like running outside better but it was nice to see my pace not just a close guess0

w7d1 completed today. It's amazing what a difference the surface your running on makes to your workout. Over the last 2 weeks, I have run over hilly roads, through a wood on a fairly level track and along my canal which is a nice level hardcore surface. The latter is definitely the easier running surface, but its nice to shake it up occasionally :-)0

W9D1 & 2 done! The first couple intervals felt tough, and my fastest run interval is always in the middle, but they feel good! I've worked up to running 4 minutes at a time, and that amazes me.

Checking in today is my no run day so is eliptical ok to do? Or just walking. I have been walking 2-4 miles give or take for about 5-6 weeks at a pretty good pace. Yesterday was my first day on the program. Just wondering if I can do other cardio.0

Yep you can do other cardio (elliptical, walking, cycling) but while you're adjusting to the program it's best if the other cardio is done gently. Not to say you can't work up a sweat, but you don't want to be busting your butt on your recovery days. Just try and make sure you get 1 full rest day a week at this point too.0 -
W8-2 down! Felt a little bit better this time, which is always nice 0

Slow down if you need to. Keep telling yourself you can do it.0 -
w2d2 done!

I just keep telling myself "I can do ANYTHING for 3 minutes" or 2 or 1. And, I know how disappointed I would be in myself if I didn't finish, especially if I am able and am just being lazy. Just remember it is a process, just follow the plan. I have actually done this before. At one time I could run an hour without stopping. I could kick myself for quitting. And as Just_Ceci said, slow down if you have to and just do your best.@joy4strength Awesome job!! I start W3D1 on Friday, and am a bit nervous about the 3-minute run sessions...any tips?0 -

I did this today (my last post I got ahead of myself, that was W2D3) and I was surprised that it wasn't as bad as I thought. I ran for 3 minutes without wanting to die! Woo hoo! Agree with the slow and steady. You can do it.0 -
W9D3 today!
It was the 12 minute fit test. The last time I did the fit test it was a month ago, and it was on a mostly flat sidewalk, and I had to take several walk breaks. My distance was 1.13 miles.
Today, I ran for the entire 12 minutes in a hilly neighborhood!!! My distance was 1.19 miles. Not technically a huge difference, but my goals were to keep running and not look at the clock. I've never run 12 minutes straight IN MY LIFE!!!!! I think I've finally gotten the hang of taking it easy and not going too fast. So, needless to say, I'm pretty pleased with myself. 0 -
It's always so exciting to check this thread and see all the progress! It is especially heartening to read the posts from people who have been worried about a stage and then find they blast through it!
I completed my w6d3 today. It was run 3:00, w 3:00, r 18:00. It was a bit of a struggle the last couple of minutes, but I finished!
Keep up the good work, everyone!
