Hi

Starting C25K tomorrow June14th. Was wondering if anyone wanted to do it with me?! Downloading the first week of podcasts now! Add me as a friend and we can support each other through it!! I have never really done any running but its something I want to be able to do!

    hey I'm on week 5 of the c25km but we can support each other as sometimes I find it hard to get out for the run.

    I dont think it matters, if you google C25K you can get podcast downloads and sites explaining everything. (Not sure if im allowed to post the website here) I plan on doing it both outside and on a treadmill as i live in ireland and it rains ALOT!!!! :)

    Yea! You will love it! This is coming from a non-runner. I just did my first 5K last month, only after starting the C25K.

    I just started last week. I'm on Day 3 now. So far, I've been happy with it! It'd be great to have [virtual] company. :) OH - and there's an Android App that I've been using (I don't pay for many apps, but this one was worth it.)

    I was doing the C25K last year but had to quit because my knees started acting up. I'd like to try it again and maybe not push myself so hard this time, see if that helps. So I'm in. I've already had my son download the Christian version of C25K on my I-pod again since I don't know what happened to the other one. Good luck. :flowerforyou:

    I just started the C25K today. It was a good work out for a short period of time. I was working on the treadmill at the gym and got to watch the second half of the price is right. Was a good 1/2 hour!!! Sent friend request


    Good luck with your journey!

    I'm in C25K W3 right now and just wanted to say that I've really enjoyed it so good luck and have fun! Also for anyone doing it on the treadmill without the podcasts or anything like that if you Google C25K treadmill it will pull up a page that has all the times you switch for walking and running, its really helped keep me on track :)

    I actually looked up C25K last night! I think I am going to give it a go as well. This time last year I was running 3 miles a day 5 days a week (now I probably couldn't run 1/4 of a mile, what a difference a year makes!) So maybe we could support each other, hold each other accountable as well?!? Best of luck to those who are starting or have started already!

    I did a quarter of the C210K one and ended up getting shin splints, so I started to lift weights and cycle. I think i'm ready to start running again though! I'm a few days behind you guys, but it will be nice to have this thread for some support and motivation. Ran my first 5K at the end of May with the shin splints, but the feeling of crossing the finish line at the end made all the pain worth it! Gotta get ready for my next one.

    I skipped a few days so I decided to start day 1 of week 1 again today. I bought some knees braces so hopefully that will help my poor old knees. I don't want the same thing to happen that happened last year. :noway: I'm not giving up. Good luck everyone. We can do this. :flowerforyou:
