Week 6 Day 3 today! Seems appropriate for Thanksgiving. Still, 22 minutes and my knee has been killing - wish me luck! New running shoes for the occasion. Guess I'm breakin' 'em in!0

i'm doing day 3 today too good luck! xxx0 -
oh boysies..... W6D1 kicked my tukkus! :sad:0
-
Uh oh, don't wanna hear that Clarissa! I do W6D1 tonight and I was pretty happy with how well I did with the 20 minute run in W5D3.0
-
lol. I haven't run since my Thanksgiving 5k and I did the 30 Day Shred earlier in the day. That's probably why I had the issues. :laugh:0
-
:bigsmile: Thank goodness. I try to do C25K before I let Jillian kick my rear!0
-
I do my strength before running usually - and in some ways i like it because the leg work really loosens and warms up my muscles - as long as I'm not doing something really crazy.
I do take a break in between, at least 2 hours usually and dinner.0 -
Im supposed ot be doing Week 6 Day 3 tomorrow but I start P90x. I am going to be swapping out my plyo and kenpo days on P90 x for running until I finish C25K. Dont want to give up when I am so close to finishing. If I feel up to it, I might try and do both on "easier" days.0
-
Wow! P90X and C25K! You go girl!
I made it through W6D1 today but for some reason really struggled. I was surprised since the 20 minute week 5 run went so well but it was after work so I might have been more tired. Whatever the reason, it's done and I'm gonna take a break for a couple days and get back to it mid-week.0 -
being tired really affects me - also not having enough calories, check your diary and see if it looks different today (Did you eat lower carb or protein? Less cals overall? something weird like a lot of dairy?)
I've found I can fake it for a run with an 8 ounce sugar free redbull. Probably not the healthiest thing to do - obviously being well rested and eating properly is better -- but I prefer to do that and deal with my food/sleep that evening rather than just skip my run.0 -
Good idea tameko2. I find on the weekends when I have my Kashi bar before I head to the gym I feel so much better. I think it's that dose of sugar and protein that I'm not getting at work before I head to gym at night. I need to get better about an afternoon snack...0
-
:sad: I'm SOOOO mad at myself. I gave up on the 2nd 10 minute run today. *sigh* I ran short sprints for the last 10 mins. I'm just not even sure why I quit the run today, which is even the worst part. I just .... stopped.0
-
That's ok Clarissa, everyone has an off day! I was really struggling yesterday, I wanted to quit so bad (made it but it was only the 8 minute run).
You can just repeat that day again - that puts you on more or less the same schedule as me and tageekly anyway!0 -
I did W6D1 on Monday and it was not bad at all! Gonna do Day 2 tonight. Actually looking forward to it!

i just finished my W6D1 training.... OMG, i didn't think i was gonna meet my first 10min run.... i live in san diego and we have hills.... it was hard but made it just fine.... looking forward for D2....0
-
Survived W6D2 - but just barely. Depending on how the long run for Day 3 goes this weekend I might have to repeat this week. Hopefully it was just an off day and I'll find more energy tomorrow!0
-
I'm going to have to roll myself back a few weeks. Somehow, I can't get my breathing down right. Might be because of the colder weather. Hard to tell.0
-
I repeated w6d1 for two days before moving on to w6d2, which I'll probably repeat again at least once before moving on to w6d3. I'm kind of having to modify the c25k schedule and repeat weeks or single days longer before moving up -- gotta give those asthmatic lungs a chance to build up!!!
Kind of scared of w6d3 but I know I can do it.0 -
did my W6D2 training on a treadmill and it is so much different compare to the route i regularly do my C25K training... my legs weren't use to it because of the incline. so changed the treadmill settings from 0.0 to 4.5 incline..... getting cold feet for my next training (15min run / 3min walk / 5min run)....0
-
Took a few days to get back to it but I finished week 6 today. Next week is all of the same - three 25-minute runs! Sheesh, I hope I'm ready!0
-
I'm repeating week 6 this week. I never really got through W6D3 without stopping a couple times in the 25 minute run. I can't seem to be able to do it without stopping.0
-
Why do you stop opal?0
-
Because my legs were really sore and my heart was pounding like it was gonna come out of my chest. Lol.0
-
I think the program that I've been using has a different time schedule. I finished W6D3 today, but the longest run was 15 minutes. I am sure that the cold weather was part of it, but it was my most difficult run. I am going to have to repeat this one a couple times at least before running 20 minutes in W7D1. The jump from 10 minutes straight to 15 just seemed like so much longer!!!
Have any of you noticed any significant weight loss since starting C25K? I've also been using the MFP food diary for the past 3 weeks or so, but my scale is not budging! Any advice? Thanks!0 -
I'll be starting Week 6 on Tuesday. Just did the dreaded Week 5 Day 3 20 minute run today. Wasn't as bad as I feared. Can't believe I've made it this far.......awesome!0
-
W6D1 done. It was raining, so it was on the treadmill. Kinda different. Preferred today to the 20 minute run last week. I found that soooo hard.0
-
Week 6 day 1 today. Can't decide whether to run outside in the rain (which feels great but since I wear glasses means I can't see!) or inside on the treadmnill surrorunded by gym bunnies!0
-
Will be doing W6D1 on Wednesday! I am amazed I did so well with W5D3... Now I am actually looking forward to my next run!0
-
W6D1 is finished! It was 19F when I headed out at 5:15AM. I still can't believe I'm out in that extreme weather running! I'm concerned about how I'll do once there is snow/ice. I don't want to run if I don't have sure footing. I do have a treadmill to fall back on, but really don't want to do that.
Anyway, I didn't find the running segments overly difficult. Of course, I go quite slowly so I'm sure to be able to keep running. I really need to start working on speed at some point!

Have you heard of Yak Trax? The Pro version is made for running on snow and ice. They fit over your shoes and run about $30.00.0
