    that beats mine! I did 2.5 miles in 30 minutes the other day. I am working on sustaining faster speeds. I did 1.8 miles tonight at 5.5 mph. I hope to do a half marathon next year sometime

    Yep, I'm a runner. I actually just did a 5k last weekend and am currently working on bettering my time. I came in at 34 minutes, but would ultimately like to get to something in the 20 something minute range.

    My best friend and I just started doing the c25k. We actually finished c25k tonight. I'm not sure if everyone does it outside or not, but we are. We are actually training for a 10K that we are doing the end of January. =) We haven't really timed ourselves yet, but we will see. I actually love running (I actually job, but to me its the same thing). I feel like I'd still be at my plateau had I not started running again.

    Nice! I am working on speed too. I have never been a distance runner. I rather run sprints all day instead of distance but i have set out to concur distance running and I will do it. I had to do 1.5 miles for a physical agility recently and was working on my time for that I have that down to 14:23, I want to get it into the 13 min range. But I also want to run a 5k and do one of those warrior dashes too. Almost at 3 miles any tips??? Still havent gotten to the point of loving distance running but I am at the point now where I dont mind it!

    i'm a runner too, but i go for endurance over speed. i started doing c25k, and 2 weeks ago ran my 1st half marathon. looks like i'll be doing full marathons next year too!
    c25k is great.

    I've been running off and on since 1999. Recently I've been running constantly at least 2x per week the past 10 months. Currently realizing I need to incorporate more "goal" runs into my plans.

    yeah I had to set a goal for myself, when i first started running my 1.5 miles i was at like 17 mins...my goal was to get it down to 15 mins now I am working on getting it down to a 13 min run.

    Then I want to work on distance i am working on 3 miles right now then after that i will try to get to 5 miles.

    I've been running (well crawling) on and off for about 2 years now, but haven't been for a couple of weeks. I've just come across the C25k plan so I am going to start this today. Hopefully this will get me back into it!

    Does any-one have problems with their calf muscles during / after a run? Mine get really tight and sore no matter how much I stretch beforehand.
