So, I am doing C25K and today was week 6, day 3.
A 25 minute run with no walking/stopping.
I DID IT! and I owned it today!
I can't believe when I started this (almost) seven weeks ago, I struggled to fiished the 90 second run and today I did 25 minutes (on a trail, with hills)
I found myself getting a littleemotional when I finished today. It was bubbling up from inside.
What a great feeling!
Thankful to be alive!

Those "bubbles" you felt in your soul are runner's high, and very addictive. Nature's own drug, those endorphins. Congrats to you, I wish more ppl would put their balls to the wall and do C25k. great program and gets you hooked!0

This makes my heart smile.
Best thing about running? Those moments never stop happening.
When I started running, I would run for 20 sweaty seconds at a time. This past Tuesday I ran 20 miles. Running never fails to make me feel whole.
Big huge congratulations on your accomplishment!! And cheers to many more victories to come.0 -
Congrats! You did great! 0

Awesome! I started it a week ago and pushed too hard and now I'm sidelined with a leg injury. I was doing it two times through because it seemed too easy. The running intervals were long enough but the whole workout was too short. Now I know that although endurance wise I was ok with it, my body wasn't ready to run that much. Overtraining injury. Duh! Looking forward to starting again after a recovery period.
Great job. I can't wait to be able to run that far without stopping!0 -
Its a great feeling wait till you can do 30min you will be cloud nine :bigsmile:0

I got the one by Felt Tip Inc. I love it. It was really good for the first 6 weeks with the intervals so I didn't have to keep looking at my iPod. Although, now I just look at my time and use my HRM so I can track my distance too.
Good Luck, I am amazed by this program and thrilled with the results.
My advice is to stick to it. And don't think "This is too easy, I'll do it everyday." Slow and steady is what your body needs esp. when literally going from Couch to 5K.
Good Luck!0 -
Congratulations!!!!! isn't it an awesome feeling! i just did my first 5km run last week. part of what helped me keep going was imagining myself at home putting it on my status!0

I started running about a year and a half ago and it's the best feeling ever just to be able to run. Are you planning on completing a 5K race? If so, you will love the feeling of crossing the finish line. Even if you don't win, or you come in last, you still completed a feat that many people never do. A great running quote for you "No matter how fast or slow you're going, you're still lapping all of the people sitting on the couch." 0

Great job I got my 3 min run coming this gives me motivation to push thru it I am little nervous about it0
-
Way to go! What an awesome feeling that is!0
-
Awesome!! I liken doing C25K as doing a magic trick. You start thinking it's impossible then before you know it you're running non stop for the amount of time it would take to watch an episode of the Big Bang Theory!0
-
Isn't c25k fantastic :bigsmile: Congratulations on your achievement, sounds like you are having a great time, and it just gets better and better!! Keep running everyone 0

I felt the exact same way you did. Congrats. Wait until you cross the finish line of your first 5k race 0
