Does anyone want to Be c25k buddies? I would like to start the program. It’s cold here, so until it warms up, I’ll most likely use my treadmill. I’m also doing Jillian Michaels 30 day shred- day 16 completed today. I’m still deciding on what to do next.

    @swebb4209 Hi! Did you end up starting? I've been debating doing this for a while but I think I want to get started on it tonight. Which app did you end up going up with?

    I went from not running straight to a 10k, it's definitely doable!

    I’m on week 6. My race is in April. I could use the support as week 6 is much harder for me.

    Keep it slow and believe that you can do it! If needed stick an extra minute if walking in the middle of the long runs until your brain catches up that you can do it?

    I haven’t started yet, but I plan to soon. I’m more than willing to be a support. Message me!

    I haven’t started! Let me know which app you’re using. I’m almost done with Jillian’s 30 day shred!

    I can't do run three today. My legs and feet are sore and I know if I try I'll just be setting myself up for failure....

    Hoping to do it tomorrow morning instead, which means Super early!

    Hi All! I did the first run last Friday the 8th and it went really well! Over the weekend I got a sinus infection which turned into an ear infection and it is kicking my *kitten*!! Will try to start back up later this week. I downloaded some podcasts I found online instead of going the app route...I couldn't find one that I liked.

    Just checked and the ones I downloaded were from Carli Fierce. I don't think it will let me leave a website but just google Carli Fierce C25K and she has them on her site for free.

    I think I’m going to do it along with t25 in a hybrid schedule so I probably won’t begin until I finish 30 day shred next week
