    I did both the Shred (l2, D5) and C25k, though my run was pretty weak. My little boy kept needing me so I started and stopped too much.

    Way to go! Many would have given up with the interruptions but pressed on and finished! Good for you!!

    Week 5, Day 2. Holy Smokes! I think that I am going to be on this day forever. I haven't been able to get through the last 8 minute run yet.

    Week 5, Day 2 finished. I was finally able to get through both runs. I had to cut my speed back from 6.0 to 5.5 for the first run and 5.2 for the second.

    I did this (not as a plan, but it's what I did) last Jan/Feb/March... I did 30DS 3X a week, and C25K 3X a week. I lost about 35 lbs during that time... and got in pretty good shape.
    After March I started running 4-5 days a week, and doing 30DS 1 or 2 times a week, or other JM videos.

    Overall, I lost 40 lbs and have been in maintence since August....

    The two together worked great for me!

    Thanks for the reply! I have about every JM dvd out there, but I always seem to come back to the Shred. I should finish around the first week of March. Then I may try (again) the No More Trouble Zones.

    Isn't it great?! Just remember when you couldn't run a minute without wanting to die! Or maybe that was just me :laugh: I had 3 tests and am out of town this weekend so it's just been food logging for me and not running. Next week will be better!

  • what IS C25K ????
  • what IS C25K ????

    It stands for couch-to-5k. It's a 9-week program for beginners who want to be able to run a 5k.

    I finished the shred yesterday and also did W4D1 of C25K, which was tough! I think I'll be starting Ripped in 30 now :-)

    Gratz on getting thru W5D3!!! I know its tough!
    I'm not in your group here doing C25K and 30DS alternately but I have been doing both. I am running W5D3 this evening.

    I applaud your effort and finally overcoming Day 3! The rest of C25K is going to be pie for you now! :smile:
