Tips for C25K
Replies

I have a really great album i am loving at the moment. I only allow myself to listen to it when i am running, and because i want to listen to it i have to go for a run
as a song is about three mins long it worked perfect for week 3.... now i run for two songs and walk for one and i am NOT allowed to stop running until that song has stopped. I think by having that rule when i want to stop i cant as that song is still going.
Its all a mental thing, if your thinking "i may stop running" you will. fact. if you just say you wont stop, mentally your a bit better prepared.
I accidently ran for ten mins straight the other day as i was enjoying the music. I was SO proud after as i struggled for 3 mins a few weeks ago!0 -
I do have an android phone Does Pandora have the run/walk noise or something of that sort?
I tried tons of the C25K apps on the android market and ended up buying the legit one.. it was like 2.99 but I like it best, and it integrates your music into it.0 -
Find a breathing pattern and breathe to the beat! I am on week 3 day 2 and I had the repeat of that same one today on a tredmill bc of the heat wave we are having! But I breathed in 4 times and out 4 tines to a Lamaze type rhythm and I made it through the entire session! When I tried it last time I was so off with my breathing it was all I can think about and it was psyching me out! If you wanna add me as a friend for more rips and motivation, please add me and together we can do this!!!!!!!!0

From the sign at my running club
" Run slower then you think you should
Run shorter then you think you should
Run more often then you think you should"0 -
Thanks so much guys. Today I ran slower and took more steps and made it through the 3 minutes, I probably could have went longer too. My legs don't hurt either.
I REALLY appreciate the advice, it DEFINITELY helped.0 -
