    Gemma - this is a 9 Week running program - you start off running small intervals and work up to running a complete 5K

    Good luck to all of you!!!!!!! You'll really be happy with yourself doing this program!!

    I'm currently in week 6. Just finished W6D1 today! If anyone would have told me at the beginning of C25K that I'd be able to run for 20 minutes straight I woulda laughed in their face! I've never been a runner and this program makes it easy!

    :) Kudos to you all for starting this and feel free to add me if you'd like for motivation/support from someone who was there!!!
    Don't give up, it does start out tough!! :)

    I can't wait to say I can run for 20 minutes straight...I just finished Week 3 for the 2nd time because I struggled the first time around...about to start week 4 tomorrow...4 weeks ago running was not in my vocab...anyone who starts this program will feel great and accomplished! When it says ANYONE can run with this program, they mean it!

    For those about to begin...don't give up when it feels like you can't do it...in the very beginning, there were a few times I had to quit running, but I walked it out and I didn't stop at all...its okay, don't get too tough on yourself! There are no rules that say you HAVE to finish it exactly in that time frame...its all about actually getting out there and doing it!

    You are ALL awesome and you can do it!

    Just did W1D1 of C25K!!! It was a challenge, but I am glad that I actually made it through. This is my first time attempting this program.

    Good Luck to everyone!!!

    I am glad that I found this! I started C25K today!! I am so excited to finally be starting this. My sister and I are going to run a 5K together in the spring. We live 3 hours apart so we are not able to train together so this motivational group will be great!!! I am going to try to run M-W-F but may do some saturdays instead of Fridays! Friend me if you would like more support! I have never been a runner, but I will be in 9 weeks!!

    Yay Week 1 Day 1 - Done!

    It wasn't all that bad and the time went by very quickly.. I found that the last run was the hardest, not sure why.. but it just was for me. Maybe at that point I was tired, IDK.

    Also how far are you guys going during Week 1? Just curious if I should be upping my speed?

    I'm with you Elly, towards the latter part of the session, I was getting tired so the last run was a little bit more difficult. No worries, by Day 3 we'll be champing at the bit to move onto Week 2 :)
