W1D2. Working on the treadmill due to time and weather constraints. It's odd looking at the log and seeing I completed 0.2 total miles

Congrats everyone on their progress!!! I was about to skip today and get W2D1 done tomorrow, but I went to the gym and run on the treadmill. Feeling tired but accomplished. HR up to 180 =O6

Congratulations graduate!
I probably asked this exact question last year, but what do you all do when you're sick? Run anyway as long as you feel remotely up for it? Wait until you're completely better? Somewhere in between? some background-I have asthma and am on an inhaled corticosteroid, so I'm more likely to catch whatever's going around. I also have two boys, one in elementary and one in preschool, and they're about as good at hygiene as you'd expect. They're at two different schools, and I work one day/week at my youngest's preschool, so we're all bringing home germs constantly. I've pretty much had colds continuously since February, and the one I have now is really kicking my butt.0 -
Today I walked around to warm up and then started my way mapmyrun. I ran until it told me 3 miles!
Whoop! Whoop!6 -

When I was doing C25K, I tried to run anyway, depending on how sick I was. I'd likely give it a shot. You can always stop if you start running and decide it's too much.
Hope you feel better soon!0 -
Finished W1D3 yesterday! Didn't really want to do it but pushed myself out the door and felt great after

I've finished! W8D3 complete and ran 5.5k on my final 35 minute run. I genuinely couldn't run for a minute at the beginning of this programme, DO NOT GIVE UP! Now... what next?7

Sign up for a 5k?
Move on to a 5 to 10k plan?
Keep running 3 to 4 times a week until you decide what's next.
Congrats on finishing!2 -

Start the 5K to 10K plan? We can always use more people to post in the Bridge to 10K forum! LOL
Just keep running so that you don't have to start over again in a year. It is amazing to think how difficult it was when we all started, isn't it? Congrats on graduating!4 -
That's amazing!! Congratulations!!I've finished! W8D3 complete and ran 5.5k on my final 35 minute run. I genuinely couldn't run for a minute at the beginning of this programme, DO NOT GIVE UP! Now... what next?
I'm almost halfway done; workout 15 of 28 done. Plus, it was a 2.5 mile run, and we ran 2.75 before stopping! Our pace was just under 13 min/mi. Tomorrow, we have interval runs; 13-1 minute fast runs with 1 minute slow periods between. Those are killer! Definitely helping our pace though. I fully believe that we aren't going to have any problems completing the 5K next month, and even contemplating signing is up for a second one that I just found out is the week before. My mini says he's up for it. I think it would be awesome to see how much our pace could change in a week. Plus, we run 3-4 times a week anyways, and by then 5K should be the norm anyways.

Yep there's no way I'm giving up or stopping. I will definitely miss the structure though so think ill have to go with another app. I think I'll go with the 10k option rather than the faster 5k. What app would you recommend for the 10k? Is the fitness22 one any good? I notice it starts at "Couch", but I'd obviously be joining at the 5k stage.

Hmm on second thoughts, I think I'll try and better my time by using the 5k pacer app first and go from there! Then hopefully when I go to a 10k I'll be ready to run a little quicker!1

I used the original Couch to 5K for my first set, then transitioned to the app from the same company. It is by Active and is a 5K to 10K app. I really like it. I think the diversity in the runs helps keep things interesting. Each week you have a shorter, easier run, then a speed work type run, then a long run. I think it was only $1.99 and you can connect with other runners who use the app. I used it because I had friends that were planning to do it.0 -

The 10K app will increase your 5K speed as well due to the speed work runs and the diversity in the plan.1 -

I personally really like Fitness22's app.0 -

Congrats on completing the program! I agree with @woodwardtm in that moving to running the 10K program will help your speed for the 5K... I took off 2:30 min off my 5K time in a month after finishing the program for my 1st race and another 1:30 min off my time about a month later for my 2nd race.
For the C25K I used the Zen Labs app, but moved to the Rundouble app for the 10K because it uses GPS and you can choose to either run for time or for distance. For the C25K, that was one of the things that I didn't like... not knowing if after I completed if I could actually run a full 5K. I stuck with the program and it ended up not being a problem, but I did the distance version of the 10K program instead. Good luck!2
