C25k start 08/29

i just finished it. good luck!!

I finished it too. it's an awesome program. Good luck and enjoy running.

I am starting (again) tonight. I have done it before, but haven't done it for a while and would like to build up my endurance. I have been lifting weights and other things, but not running. Anyway, since it has been a while since I ran regularly I decided to start Wk 1 Day 1. I would be happy to have a cohort.

i am on wk 2 day 1, never felt like a runner on my life, but I seem to be coping with it, even at times enjoying it!!!!!! Dig in a lot of people have done it on the site and swear by it

I'm in! This should be interesting, since I'm pretty close to the "couch" stage right now.

i started on saturday. i ll be doing w1d2 2morw...

I just did day one this morning! Count me in.

I started last week, and would be happy to have a support group. [Hi, Chans!]

count me in!! is there a way for all of us to have a message board to come to and give updates? not quite sure how all that works... or I have noticed some people are on teams? but again, I am not quite sure how that works either..

maybe we can have a c25k team together!

I got W1D1 knocked out earlier on my treadmill. I felt pretty good during, and decided to throw in a couple extra cycles of run 1 min, walk 1.5. I'm proud of myself for getting it all in, but daaaaaaamn I should have stretched first. My hip is killing me tonight! Gonna yoga it up tonight and do Pilates and walking on Tuesday/Thursday. For someone that just started running (seriously...two minutes yesterday was the first time I had run in YEARS) I'm pretty stoked I got this done.

I started yesterday. Count me in!!

I started today too! I was pretty amazed at myself since I have never been a runner and I thought my knees would hurt. They didn't, so I have a different question now.

I thought it would be harder than it was. I even went against the advice not to do more than your plan calls for. I started doing alternating laps of jogging and walking. The training plan says to go for 20 minutes. But I didn't feel tired and I really wanted to accomplish something. So I kept going until I had done a total of 50 laps. That means 2 miles, one jogging and one walking! I walked a bit longer for a cool down and I would have stayed for Zumba afterward if my son hadn't been crying.

Now I need to figure out how to space these new workouts. Jogging/walking 30 minutes doesn't feel like enough for me. I didn't burn as many calories as I would like. Should I do other stuff on the same day that I run? Or workout differently on opposite days? Both? (That may seem crazy but I've been doing 90-120 minutes of exercise 6 days a week for two months, so it makes sense to me.) Or could I safely skip through a few weeks of C25k considering that I am not really starting at "couch"?

I always tell people that it depends on their goals. My goals are: first, and most importantly, weightloss. Secondly, being able to run as my son grows up.

keep it up girl!! doesn't that feel like such an accomplishment after finishing the cycle of run/walk!?! cause I sure know it made me feel GREAT after! I absolutely despise running so I am very proud of myself for doing it! hopefully we can actually LIKE running after this

I've been meaning to start this for a couple of weeks now. I will try and start tonight! I've never been a runner so this should be interesting!!

Sweet I Started this yesterday!
