Just downloaded C25K...
Pretty excited to start this program!!!
I'm not totally new to running, but never could seem to build up much endurance (1 mile is all I could ever do:sad: )

Just wondering if anyone esle is just starting this program?? Maybe we could support each other :bigsmile:

Or if anyone is well into the program or has finished and has any tips or info to share?
:flowerforyou: Thanks!

    I just downloaded this app too and I'm going to start on Monday (I have this thing about starting new things at the beginning of the week...lol). I am totally new to running but I've been wanting to start for awhile. I just didn't know how to start, so this app is going to be a huge help. I'd be glad to have a friend so that we help motivate each other.

    I'm getting ready to do my first 5K race. (I've run 5K + four times in the last week....)

    My advice would be :

    1) Take it steady. There's no disgrace in repeating week if you need to.
    2) Make sure you have good running shoes.
    3) Try to walk a bit on your "off days" to keep from stiffening up, but don't push too hard.
    4) Believe in yourself. :happy: You CAN do it. :happy: It may seem tough at times - but after a few weeks it gets easier. :smile:
