Couch to 5K (start 4/4/11)

I just restarted week 4 after completing it a week and a half ago. I had surgery on my head and wasn't able to work out. I feel absolutely horrible after completing w4d1. I will try not to have any breaks in my workout. I wasn't able to complete the full run of week 4.

I'm back and running again just finished w2D1. I started over

Congrats... Yea it appears everyone has left. Well we can still support each other.

I had a bad run a couple of weeks ago where I couldn't complete it. I just saved it and did it the next time. I did some research on better ways to breath and what speed I should be running at. I actually had a run that felt good. Important thing is, if you can't complete a run, don't give up. Just save it and do it again the next time. You'll get there!!! Week 4 has some 5 minute runs I believe. Just think about where you were 2 months ago. I know 2 months ago, the idea of running 2 minutes was horrible. Perseverence is the key to success. Give your body a rest, give it another try, and you will be surprised by the results.

Nice run I'm proud of you. I just completed w2 d3 again and I add a week1 run after the cool down. So my wife and I are completing two runs a day. Now this won't continue when we do week 3 next week, I felt that I needed to run a little more because I really wasn't winded. I started the program over because I felt I had to much of a break from my surgery and vacation. I can't wait to get where you are again.

I'm still here, but I've kind of let the podcasts slide with doing it with my daughter and the weather being rubbish. We've got our 5k run for cancer research on the 3rd July, so we're going out once a week training but that's all we seem to be able to fit in round school, work etc. Once the race is done and I can go out without her in tow I think I'll do a bit better!

So we've not been using the podcasts, just walking for 5 mins to warm up then jogging for as long as we can, recovering by walking a minute or two and then jogging aggain. The time before last we did a 10 min jog then another 4 minute one, and I'm pretty pleased with that. Hayfever and astma haven't really been helping either of us either.

Now I've posted this I'm going to make a point of fitting in another run on my own and see how much I can actually do when I don't have to wait for her! Maybe pick up at week 4 as I think that's where we were up to - the one with the 2 x 8 min and 2 x 5 min anyway. Going to zumba a couple of times a week seems to have helped my stamina too.

Im on week 3 and Love it!!

I completed the C25k in April, but had an injury so haven't run since 15th May (my 5K race, which I did in 29.36 so very pleased with myself).

Anyway, I'm doing the 30DS at the moment as a get back into exercise and I'll be rejoining C25K at week 5 (which I think is the week with 2 8 minute runs and a 20 minute run if I remember properly).

Hope everyone is still enjoying it.

Just finished w3d1 on hills. The first 3 minutes was straight up hill before a slight leveling out. I was almost completely spent but I pushed through. The second three minutes was a breeze on level ground. I feel good because after running my wife and I walked about another 15 minutes back to our home. Afterward we did the nike ab workout on our iphones for 15 minutes. I can tell you that I feel an ab poking out from beneath the flab....lol.

(ALW65) Great work... I'm so happy for you but yet so jealous. I only hope I can achieve that type of run. I'm now down from 304 to 287 so this C25k and MFP really works. I just need you to help me stay motivated.
