Just finished W1D3 yesterday and I'm determined to graduate this time around.
Stick with it. I've started 5 times and finished twice. Go slow and get in a groove.1 -
W9 D1 done! Do I keep posting here for the 10K trainer or is there a separate group?0

W7D1 is done! 25 min straight!1

I also plan to increase the distance to 5 km, but then I am going for 10k training. Speed will come with distance...1 -
I'm going to a six week 5210k program from my RunDouble app one I finish week 8. I got all of the programs one time for a great deal, so I use those. They have a 10 k and half marathon event program, but I'm not sure what my next step is after the 10k.
Zenlabs do a 10K, half marathon and then full marathon app, and I'm pretty sure they're all free
I think I've decided to do the half marathon training plan from Hal Higdon. I can program the lengths or intervals into the custom run feature on my RunDouble app. I'm not going to worry about it until I get up to running 10k pretty comfortably though. The 5 intervals of 8 minutes this morning were a pretty big jump up.
Awesome! When do you plan to do the half?0 -
Repeating week 4 this week. I am feeling a little more ready for week 5 now. It is getting a little easier to focus when I run.1

To be perfectly honest, I do it out of laziness! Because I'm well off the pace of a 10 minute mile, I don't want to finish the program then have to work up to running the 5K. So, although it's a bit tougher at the moment, when I finish, I should be good to go and run 5K whenever I want (I suspect it won't be that easy though!)0 -
I've got a garmin activity tracker with GPS for that. I'm actually looking forward to being able to leave the phone indoors and just use the watch when the walking stages are over, one less thing to lug around with me0 -

W6D3 complete.
Actually did:
0.25 mile walk warm-up
2.5 miles jog
0.42 miles walking back
Didn't realise until I got back I'd actually done 5K total distance!
It was only supposed to be 2.25 mile running, but I did the bit extra for the hell of it as at got me back to the road and seemed a logical stopping point.
Probably the furthest distance I've run in my entire life, feeling quite proud5 -

Yes, that is what I have heard. I am still quite heavy (but have lost 25lbs!) and have platar fascitis, which is decreasing in severity as I improve my stretches, my shoes, and lose weight. However too much distance at this time will likely aggravate the injury. So I will keep my runs to 40mins max and vary speed and incline to increase the challenge until I lose another 25 lbs or so.1 -

This is the one I post in. It's not real active, but a few of us follow along.3 -
W9,D1 complete! 3.55 miles and I did the full 30 minutes of jogging! By the cool down walk, I was dead. By God, I did it though! Woot!6

@woodwardtm -- WTG! You might have felt dead, but I imagine quite exhilarated at the same time!

You can't go wrong with slowly building your base. A let less chance of injury that way.0 -
