    Fantastic!!! When I started C25K, I remember looking at the charts and thinking, "20 minutes??!?!? That's for RUNNERS".

    So, congrats, you runner, you :)

    Congratulations!

    The first "long" run in C25K is scary. But, now you know you CAN do it.

    what is C25k?

    I'm a new runner..

    Couch to 5K - I haven't tried the program myself, but have heard great things about it.

    Hehe, we're getting there, aren't we? I have found running to become addictive. I take 1-2 days off per week, and I am sad on my days off, in that I feel kind of lazy!


    LOL, Oh yeah, you're a runner! The addiction has just begun. Enjoy!

    Congratulations!!! I'm on Wk4 right now and very nervous about next week's 20 minute run. So happy for you! I've thought all along that the 20 minute run is when you truly become a runner.

    That is so awesome!! Great job!
    I am on week 5, day 1, and so far I think my best bet has been to just follow the voice on my app. LOL I never know in advance how long I'm going to be running for, and that's a good thing. I'm backtracking, and moved back to w5d1 after having done w5d2, because of shin splints, but when I did w5d2, I felt great, then realized there were only 2 runs.... So I looked into the program and saw how long those runs had been. I thought it was a good thing I didn't know how long they'd be ahead of time, because I'd have been scared to do it. LOL

    So, long story short, now I know to be really scared in a few days when I'm up to w5d3. LOL
