Hi! My name is Laura. I'm originally from Chicago but live in Zambia, Africa (although in Florida for the most part when I am in the States) for the past 11 years doing missions work in rural villages. I almost completed the full C25K program in March and did a 5k (running and walking) but then stopped. Just started up again this past week and am starting from the beginning. Excited to get to know others who are on the same journey!

Hello. I'm Maggie. I live in Iowa. I am in the middle of week 5. I have been surprised that I made it this far. I am very slow, but proud of my progress.1

I'm interested in trail running and long distance running. I figured this was a good place to start. I just finished week 5 with the active.com app. I am training on a trail that has a somewhat steep (to me) climb for the first half, but then I get to turn around and go back down for the last half.
I repeated the first two workouts, because I was trying to train on a trail that was downhill at the beginning and then I'd have to climb at the end, and that didn't work out at all. Since switching trails, I haven't had to repeat any days, yet.1 -
Hello I'm Alex. I'm from Illinois, and am 28 years old. I've always been overweight and not liked exercise. But I think I've got the running bug, because it's all I think about now! I'm currently taking a break because i'm having some knee pain..and it's so so so hard not to run. Keeping up with some cross training this week, and will start week 7 of c25k next week. I'm planning on running a 5k turkey run in November, and i want to be able to run the whole thing. Right now I'm running like a 15:23 mile. I'm doing most of my running on a treadmill right now but I did go outside last week for the first time and was able to run a little over a mile without stopping. It's a lot harder outside than on the treadmill! So i'll probably start incorporating outside runs more soon. Soo since im not running this week, I want to talk about running because it's alllll i think about. lol I'm crazy. I can't wait till I can run longer distances!1

Hi everyone, Karsten here, from Alexandria, VA, just south of Washington, DC.
I am a big walker, usually walking around 8 miles several times a week. However, I am not a fan of how long those walks take and the amount of calories that are burned. I am hoping to eventually jog those miles in order to reduce the time and double the calories burned. That is when I saw multiple comments in these forums about C25K and decided to give it a try. I am in week 3 at the moment and so far am loving it!
You can find me on MapMy/Walk/Run/Ride/Fitness (search for me using my email "kalex1975gmail.com"). Would love to have more friends on that app for some accountability.2 -
