This had me rollin'! Besides the pretty girl aspect (because it's just any girl skinnier than me. Psh, look at me run sista! Watch and learn...) this all sounds 100% like what is going on EVERY time I use this app.

awesome, do you get a runners high after running to the ladyvoice's directions, or feel like your lungs have stretched slightly (in a good way)

Both

The three hardest things about running:
A. Getting started;
B. The first half mile (first km);
C. Having to stop because you're done.

I'm on Week 1 day one and could only run 2 out of the 8 running sessions, although I did brisk walk the rest. I will repeat it until I get to 8 running but this made me laugh!

That was awesome! Exactly the way I feel while using that app.

lol - my knees reject running - but I have experienced the warp in the space time continuum.. it hits at about the 25 minute mark on the elliptical machine... Thanks for a good laugh.

Love, love, LOVE it!

I know how you feel as well. First time I started C25K, I was almost done when family visiting, laziness, and the heat of summer got in the way. It wasn't quite as hard to get back at it this time, and I discovered it's a lot easier to run with someone else. I haven't started the program again because I have a 4 year old and he is just way too big to push in a stroller for an extended period of time. He has just figured out his bike with no training wheels though, so as soon as he gets to be a "pro" at it, we will be using the Zombies 5K app this time. He loves to run away from zombies, so he will be peddling away from them while I'm running from them. I give it another week or so before we start.

Lol omg, I smiled and laughed as I was reading this. You should write a book on your weight loss. It would be a hit!!! Great job!!!!

I LOVE this post. I swear, this is me during exercise in general haha.

This was so me lol!! I recently just ran 20 minutes straight on week 5 when I couldn't even run 1 minute when I began! This app is amazing and awful all at the same time!

amusedmonkey · July 2016

Well done! I know EXACTLY what you are talking about! you should consider writing a book, I would definitely buy it.

Edit: just noticed this is an old post, but hey, this is a good one to necro. Put a smile on my face.

I remember reading this post my first day of my couch to 5K March 2016. I laughed so hard because I felt that same way only after running30 seconds- "how am I ever going to do this" but I did it- so I got 5K to 10K app- while the whole time doing this new app I'm thinking "how am I ever going to do this"-
i'm now halfway through 10 K to 21K app- still looking ahead & reading what's to come and still "thinking "how am I ever going to do this!" - one foot Infront of the other- and my brain still tells me " you're not a runner, you're too fat or old -(I'm 54 in January) my pace is super slow 13 minute mile I can run 7 miles right now and I am still surprised that I ever got off the couch and did this! I had to go back and read this post again and it's still hilarious and helped me continue on my journey- so thank you

Nicely written.

I am on week 8 of C25K and every week I have been surprised at my ability to meet the challenges presented to me by the program. It really does work and can work for anyone in reasonable health.

I'm completing week 5 day 3 of C25K today (2nd time around only got to week 5)!! I'm loving it and I can tell I'm not SO out of breath like I was and each time it seems to go by faster as far as the minutes. I know when I did week 1 I thought running for 60 seconds was like an eternity! I want to be a runner for life!! I just want to be able to increase my speed over time right now I'm trying to maintain my breathing so I can go the distance!
