Hi, everyone! I just joined today and I'm looking for others who are doing C25K and can help keep me motivated. I'm in week 2 and so far it's going great!

    I'm also on W3D3.

    I started the program in May and had to restart it after taking a few weeks off. After just 4 weeks I found myself running faster and longer than ever before! And I felt so good about myself too :D Don't Stop! Do your best to keep with the program or your body will detrain. You can do it!!!

    There is a C25k iphone/ipod app that's amazing, and I love it! It let's you listen to your own music with audio cues that alert you when to run/walk. It was $2.99 I believe, but so worth it.

    Good luck!

    I forgot....I know the program is to do it 3 days a week, but do you think its ok if I do it 5 days a week just to help make it a little easier on me? (Only log 3 days for the week)

    Hey Staceyo-

    Just make sure that you don't overwork yourself, especially if you have to run outside in this heat wave the US has been having recently. Generally, cardiovascular adaptations to running benefit from "rest and recovery" periods, so make sure to give yourself one day at minimum during the week for rest, if not two.

    Staceyo.. Just don't burn yourself out! I love how C25K eases you into running in a way so that you won't get discouraged. 5 days may be a bit much to start out with, but whatever works for you!

    Please add me as well. I'm on Week 4, Day 3 which I'll complete tomorrow.

    Week 4 is tough, but then again every week has been tough. However the feeling you get when you've done it is incredible.

    This program really is incredible! :)
