    I would like to join. I hope it's not too late since it started in June.
  • My friend just showed me this site, and I'd like to join as well if it's not to late. I just finished the 1st week of Couch to 5k, really liking it. I am curious as to what everyone else is doing on your non running days?? Thx! :happy:

    Of course you can join. Welcome! Congrats on already finishing the first week. I'm going to alternate between strength days and C25K days. So strength for me on non running days.

    We'll be continuing the chat on here, since the other threads almost full. Once it reaches 500 posts, it won't let you post anymore.

    just completed W2D3. It felt really good that instead of going right into my cool down I ran for an extra 1 1/2 minutes. Excited to start W3!

    Today is a "rest" day for c25k, so I decided to change it up a bit. Did 5 min walk/5 min run intervals for 45 minutes. I can't lie, the last 5 minute run was rough, but at least I got through it!

    Is anyone on week 4? I have to finish up w3d3 tomorrow, then I'm a little nervous for what's ahead...but now I KNOW I can run for a full 5 minutes.

  • This morning I start my 2nd week of Couch To 5K, hoping I can do it with the increased running time. Sounds like people on here were nervous about that too and did ok, so I'm hopeful. Good job everyone, keep up the hard work!!

    I just finished w3d3 also.

    I'm very nervous about the jogging do. In one of the off days I did a couple of 5 minute jogs...they weren't fast...but made it through. Good luck starting week 4. I think we'll need it!! :)

    Just realized it's week 5 I'm starting with the 5 minute jog...I'll have to plan this when the energy levels are high

    Honestly, I thought it would be worse than it was. If you can do 3 minutes, you can do 5. You got this..don't worry!

    I agree. Not bad. Now I need to work on my speed... Any suggestions? I'm thinking about picking op the pace the last 30 secs of each jogging session. Then lengthening that each week. Not sure if that will be enough??

    This is a great program! I'm taking more than a week to do each of the C25K training weeks, but I'm going to get there. I put the Exertime App on my Droid phone, turn on Pandora, and off I go. And I am so NOT a runner.

    Count me in!
  • Hello everyone! I got off track for the past week (stupid work getting in the way of my gym time) but Im heading off to the gym now to see where I am at. Good luck to everyone and have a great day!
