It's tough but don't give up. You will get there!2 -
W4D3 complete... eventually. I gave up the other day with just 90 seconds of jogging left and before the 90 seconds was up I realised what a dumb *kitten* decision that was - just 90 seconds meant doing the whole 31 minutes again.2

Just slow down and push through!2 -
I switched to a the distance version for w3d2 yesterday- run 200 yds, walk 200, run 400 yds, walk 400, repeat. It was good!1

Does your app tell you when you've gone far enough? The Zenlabs one has distance goals as well as time goals from week 6 onwards, but I don't know how I'm supposed to know if I've jogged for 1/2 mile or whatever0 -

@savannahs21 how did you get on?1 -
I didn't try yesterday or today but i am going to redo Week 4 again Monday. @TheMrWobbly1

@savannah21 I got you. Happy to repeat week 4. I am going with Sat early, Sun late and one day mid week. They have a Pride event in 8 days in the park right outside my office so post work runs are definitely out as the area is being fenced off as we speak.2

W5D3 done - 20m running. It wasn't pretty, or very fast, but I did it!7

RunDouble uses my phone's gps to measure the distance.1 -

Got up at 5:30 to redo week 4, it has been teeming down for the last two hours. Revising the plan then...2

Did W6D1 yesterday, it was hard!! But I made sure that I kept going to finish it5
-
Did W5D3 again so the husband could catch up - slightly easier, but still had a face like a beetroot by the end of it!6

Week 5 is a massive challenge! Well done!1 -
Hi, everyone! I'm a serial starter of C25K. I finished once, a couple years ago, and really came to LOVE running, so I'm trying to rekindle that again.
I have a base level of fitness this time that I haven't had before (from doing a fitness class and weight training for the last couple of months), so I began with week 4 yesterday. It was a lot better than I was fearing! I'm running on a track at one of the local schools, as the hills here are just too steep and challenging for me at this point.
Going to do week 4 day 2 tomorrow morning--wish me luck!7 -
I headed out to my local park to run this morning and was 4 minutes into the warm-up when a thunderstorm hit. I will run in the rain, but not when there is lightning. I will try again after work. I'm on week 4- run 1/4 mile, walk 1/8, run 1/2, walk 1/4, repeat.2

I finished week 4 on Friday. Actually talked my son in to going with me. He walked most of the time and just jogged to catch up during my my recovery walks. I told him I'll eventually be faster! Got up yesterday and decided to give W5D1 a shot. I figured if I couldn't do all 3 of the 5 minute runs I'd just go back to week 4 next time. My Fitbit died halfway through but I made it through the whole thing! I'm still not sure if I'm ready for W5D3 but I guess I'll find out by the end of the week!5
-
I got it done last night. It was hot and steamy, and it was dark by the time I finished, but I did it!3

I must confess I set of a little late and if anyone had been up for going into the hot tub I might not have made it at all!!!
As my C25K app doesn't sync with MFP I use MapMyWalk at the same time. Do I really need to download MapMyRun or will the give the same results?0 -

Same results, I think. I've used MapMyRide in the past to also track runs.1 -

I use mapmyrun as my C25K app won't tell me distances (despite paying for the Zenlabs one) - it tells you your route and distance, and pace for each km - not sure how this compares with mapmywalk as I haven't used that app.
W6D1 done! Easier than the 20m run of W5D3, not sure why... softening us up for what's to come perhaps? 🙂1 -
I just use my Fitbit to calculate distances and calorie burns.0
-
W3D1 done Was thinking I had W2D3 to do yet so was a little thrown when I realized I had to run for 3 min..... I did it but it was proverbial uphill for both runs
Happy Tuesday!

I ran this morning, w4d2. Feeling pretty good about my results!
Week 4, day 23 -
I appear to have lost my training partner. If you are out there @savannahs21 I am still good to redo week 4 with you?
For now plodding on (literally) with week 5. I really wanted to give up on day 2 at the end and remember that mistake in the last 90 seconds from week 4 so carried on. Was so tired eventually gave in and realised the volume on my phone had switched off and I have jalked 90 seconds longer than the 8 minutes.3 -
@TheMrWobbly, I'm still here just really struggling. I think I'm going to have to redo week 4 again. The 5 minutes is what messes me up.2
