Hello I have a question. I've downloaded an app couch to 5 I but I want to use it on my elliptical. Is that possible ? Are there people here who are doing this? I don't like to walk outside that's the reason.0

Thanks. I read the other discussion. I did it yesterday evening and I loved it. Normally I walking at the same speed but this was different. I want to do this program on my elliptical. It's better for my knees. Maybe I'm going to do this on my stationary bike also.0

The ellipticals I use at the gym have programs that change periodically throughout the workout with different speeds, positions, actions, etc. It is a very good workout. It will not prepare you for running a 5k.
Do whatever you can to keep moving!0 -
I'm staring tomorrow! Excited to get back into running1

Started last week on my own but I also joined a running club that is doing the C25K challenge to prepare for a 5K it is sponsoring in May and the program starts on Tuesday. I figured I'd just repeat the first week since I've never done any distance running in my life. I started the C25K program a couple years ago and stopped at week 4 due to an injury (unrelated to running). My reward for getting through the program is a really nice pair of running shoes. I have good running shoes now (my son who runs distance in the Army recommended them) but I didn't want to throw so much money at something that I might not finish. I have always wanted to be able to run regularly so a nice pair of running shoes is the perfect reward! Send me a friend invite to see my progress, my diary is also open. If I want what healthy people have, I must do what healthy people do!

Look at the "March group?" thread - there's a few of us in there still1 -
Wow great tips and advice. I used to run miles an miles an miles. The tip on going to the doctor is great had a heart attack at 35 an was running 3 to 5 miles a day training for a triathlon. You never know. That was 10 years ago may 9. Had other injuries at same time due to military. Well it was a mind break. I let it win. Being able to set my plate on my gut was like a slap in the face to me at what I became. I tried losing weight a couple years ago on for other ppl an not me I failed. This time it’s for me an I know I will succeed. My motto this time is DON’T QUIT an I won’t. Looking at c2 5k apps at the moment any suggestions. Already started by walking up to 4 miles walking, Afraid to run yet due to knees an bouncing fat. Lol want to lose a few more l bs before I run. I miss the zone you go into when you run, it melts away the stress an worries.1

Glad I found this group! The info is great! I've always wanted to start but I knew I'd be a lot slower! This gave me confidence to go ahead and get started!4

Great information as I get started! Thank you!1

Hi I’m new to this group. I’m getting back in to running after covid slowed me down then a back injury stopped me for a bit. Great tips thank you.2

Is this group still active? I did C25K 10 years ago and loved it. Got to the point where I was running 3-5 miles 4 days a week. Then divorce, death of a parent and Covid led to the decline of running and a 40# weight gain. It's time to start again - Would love the support of a group! Anyone still here??
