    I will also be starting on Monday. This may sound silly, but do you run or jog? I tried this a few months ago when I got the app, and I thought it was easy, then I realized I was 'jogging' not 'running'. Is there a difference?

    Today, on New Years Day, I will be finished with week 4 of the C25K program - originally I was listening to DJ Beatsmith, and liked the tempo of the music - and just recently switched to Chubby Jones' podcasts. I like how she says encouraging things and let's me know many minutes I've been jogging. Both offer music selections I never would have picked for myself! I run at about a 5.1 - 5.2 pace and although I'm intimidated by week 5, it will be no different than that feeling I had with starting out week 4 - and I'll have increased confidence too!

    I never envisioned myself as a "jogger," and my goal is to be able to run in several 5Ks this year, and in the process of training and becoming healthier, to reach my goal weight of being under 200 pounds. I'm doing this to prove to myself that my new lifestyle is not a fad, but here to stay! Best of luck to all as you attain your own fitness and health goals in 2012.

    Happy New Year!

    I'm in! I plan on doing it M/W/F and am kind of nervous. I hope jogging is okay for the running part! My goal is to rock a 5k in June, not just gasp my way to the end.

    Jogging is totally acceptable since it's initially about building endurance and not about distance. After endurance improves you'll be able to go faster.

    Oh, thank God. I was holding my breath until someone answered this question. If I was expected to sprint during the running parts, I would be DOOMED.

    Started tonight and loved it. It was very challenging with the dog as he needs to learn to pace with me better, but I have a feeling he is going to hold me to these workouts!!!
