Starting C25K tomorrow anyone want to join me?

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 have completed the c25k treadmill program, but wanted to give you encouragement!!!!!! it is an awesome program and got me on the treadmill now walking and jogging for 45-60 minutes 5 times a week...you might be a little sore, but push thru the soreness...it is worth it

hi iv never done runnong before but id quite like to have a go .but im not sure how to get started.do i have to run outside or could i do it on the tread mill i usualy cycle but im willing to give running or jogging a go .any advice would be gratefuly excepted:bigsmile:

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 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 finished week 1 day 1 last night. Felt great! Anyone else checking in?

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 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:

I am on week 4 (should be5 but I did week 2 twice). I have never been a runner. I must say that I am really enjoying it. I have not missed a run yet, which for me and my track record for sticking with things is VERY remarkable! Just take it one run at a time. Don't be ashamed if you need to step it back and do some of the weeks more than once. It is a guide to help you start running! My first race will be at the end of July. My goal is to run 90-100% of it.

I just started on Monday. We are going to have bad weather so I did day 1 and 2 without taking a break. I am feeling it in my knees and ankles now but I have always had problems with them. I feel so good when see how far 3 miles really is!

I see a lot of people writing about getting a good pair of running shoes, any advice where to get them? I am not aware of any specialized stores in my area.

Good running shoes really made a difference for me. They can be pretty pricey, but it's a good investment in my eyes. I have a pair of Nike Pegasus shoes that allow me to use the Nike + system in my ipod to track my runs. I got them at ****s Sporting Goods, they had a good sale on running shoes. The best place to get shoes IMO is to find a Nike Outlet if there is one near you, a lot of big outlet malls have one. I found my shoes there (originally $90) for $40 (I paid about $65 at ****s).
