Yes! I did day 1 week 3 yesterday and at first I thought there's no way I can run 3 minutes straight but I did and can't wait to do it again!0
-
YAY!!! Me too!!! I struggled two weeks ago with 60 seconds and now 3 minutes.... I didn't kill it, but I finished it without stopping!!! I didn't think i was going to be able to lick the 2nd 3 minute interval, but then all of a sudden she says, that's it you're done... start your cool down walk!! I was like YES!!!! I can't wait to go out again on Wednesday!!
How did yours feel?? Have you ever run before?0 -
lol yes I was surprised at how good I felt even after the second bout...no I haven't really ran before, I have been doing intervals off and on for awhile but now I'm getting serious and want to be an endurance runner!!0

I was supposed to start Week 3 today, but I wussed out during my warmup walk and did a repeat day of Week 2, Day 3 instead. I'm trying to get myself together to try it tomorrow. 3 minutes just feels so long!0
-
viennad I was freaked out a little bit too and thought there was no way, but I just went slow... I actually added a minute per mile back onto my pace because I was plodding, but I finished running.... you can do it!!!!! just give it a go tomorrow or wednesday. You'll do great!!!
alypri it feels amazing doesn't it??!!?? The 5 minutes freaks me out but we all have another week before we have to tackle that, right?? LOL0 -

LOL! I don't want to think about it yet....haha actually at 5 weeks it's 20 minutes now that freaks me out!!0 -
I did day 1 week 2 yesturday. Trying to get back into it. I've never liked running, but I think it's because I've always been so bad at it. I hope that once I improve, that will be motivation to keep running.0
-
I'll be starting week three tomorrow. I'm a little nervous about it, like I was with weeks one and two, but I'll get through it I'm sure.0
-
Okay! I'll hold myself accountable to you guys, and I'll try it! I mean, worst case scenario, I just have to walk some of the run, right? No big deal!
But I'm going to post here tomorrow when I do it, so I'll deff attempt it.0 -

That's how I feel too.... I am hoping once I get past this being able to run for 30 minutes then I can start to semi enjoy it since I have a good base LOL0 -

Bethany, I think you'll surprise yourself... I didn't think I'd make it either, but I did and it felt exhausting but awesome!!! We can do anything for 3 minutes right?? 0 -
Going out for W3D2 this morning..... how is everyone else doing??0
-
Just got back from doing W3D2, feeling good! Thanks for the warm welcome!0
-
My W3D2 was not fun!!! Felt like I was going to toss cookies toward the end of the last run segment, but I finished. My pace was up by a minute, but I was reading about pace and heat and humidity and it was funny because when I matched the temperature and the % humidity it was almost exactly how much my pace had increased to that day. I was pushing it way to hard I guess or maybe I'm just a weanie LOL... but I finished it and will finish up the last segement Saturday morning before heading to the VA State Fair!!!! Can't wait for that... get some running and loads of walking in. Just have to make sure I don't blow the cals on fried twinkies and corndogs... oh my goodness YUM!!!0

Jolee that's awesome!!!! So glad it's feeling good!!! Such a feeling of accomplishment every time that box gets colored in or checked off!!! Way to Go!!!0 -
I'm just finishing up the last week of B210k (after C25k) and you guys can all do it! Everyone has doubts but you can do it! Oh and most people repeat a week or a workout here and there, no big deal! Great that there are so many people getting out there!0

Just did day two. Three minutes is a long time, but I did it. And it wasn't as horrible this time as it was on Tuesday!0 -
Just finished week 3 this morning! Will start week 4 Monday. It is getting easier, and I never thought I'd say that! 0
-
Hi guys! First day of Week 4 this morning! I made it, and am feeling pretty good. How is everyone else doing???0
-
I am staring Week 4 tomorrow morning. I have a question... are you running time or have you considered transitioning to distance at this point? I am really thinking about changing to distance to make sure that I am completing 3.1 by the time I am done, but not sure how I feel about doing strictly track work at this point.
How did you feel while you were doing week 4? And WTG btw

KitKatty,
Thanks so much for the encouragment!!! I start Week 4 tomorrow. I was going to head out this morning but I ended up getting caught up in housework and pulling my lunch together for work. It'll have to be in the am tomorrow. How did week 4 go for you? Do you recall?0 -

I am running time for now. Was at my mom's this morning for a funeral so I ran on the track up there. In the 16 mins of running I did, I ran about 1.3 miles. I am shooting for running a 5k Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning, and am scheduled to be done with C25k with 2 weeks to spare. I am planning (for now!) to take that extra 2 weeks and make up the difference between running 30 mins and running a full 5k. I felt really good this morning! Good luck, you CAN do it! 0 -
Just finished W4D1 and I spanked that baby!!!! Took 2 full minutes off my pace!!! I know it's because we're running longer and walking shorter but that feels soooo good... I am starting to feel like a runner again!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVED it!!!
WTG Jolee!!!!! I am doing the Surfn Santa which is the next weekend... and at this point I should have about the same to spare.... maybe an additional week??? Mine is December 3rd!! We're going to do great!! We all are!!! 0 -
I am a week behind you guys, but I know I will enjoy watching this thread. There's nothing like seeing someone who has "been there, done that" and survived. Tomorrow I hope to accomplish W3 D2. The second 3 minute run seemed hard so I am trying not to look at those longer runs in the weeks ahead. Thanks for your optimism and enthusiasm!0

Hey Guys, I am thinking about starting the c25k, have been kinda playing on the track and on the treadmill. Which way are you doing it and do you have an app that is telling you when to start and stop?. Please tell me how you all got started. Do you do it first thing in the day or later in the afternoon. I want to but am so afraid of failing or hurting myself. You all seem to be doing great. Oh and I am about 60lbs over weigh. Should I wait till I have lost more or start now. Suggestions please:flowerforyou:0

Best of luck to you all, I graduate this week, my next run will be Week 9 Day 3! I was in the exact same boat as your guys Week 3 seemed like a serious step up for me from Week 2 when i did it. and really struggled however, now im running for 36 Minutes straight! (best 5K time) as well as loosing well over a 20 pounds. Never before had i ever thought id be able to run continuously for more than 3 miles.
From here on im going to get faster a 5K and then more on to B210K. All because of this program, that i saw one day and thought "oh ill have a blast of that!" lol0
