starting C25K tomorrow! =)

I have a 5K in May and i'm starting the training tomorrow. I need to go find the free app. Sounds great. Feel free to add me.

Yay! W1D3 is done! Bring on W2 on Sunday!!

Completed week 1. Not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Feel like I actually get a better workout then when I got myself up to 3/4 of a mile. I have also increased my speed so maybe that is why. Good luck everyone on week 2.

I'm starting this next week, and I'm not gonna lie, I pretty worried about how unfit I am, I could walk for hours but if I ran to my front gate I'd have to stop! Has anybody had the same worries starting and how did it go once you did start??

Yep this is exactly me, I've got dogs so can walk for hours without worry - 10 yards of running killed me! but this programme is just for people like us imo - you don't run flat out, you just do a light jog - barely more than fast walking, basically, enough speed that you have to change from walk to jog, but only just - and it does get easier.

Everytime I do a c25k session, I find that the first "run" section feels like I'm going to keel over, but every other one after that actually gets easier, so just bear that in mind!

missed a day due to weather... but w1d2 2.37 miles... so up just a little.

I started C25K last week using the RecordBeater app. It comes with its own music, however, depending on the bpm, it can be a bit limited. Doesn't matter to me as long as I have music! I'm enjoying it so far.

Did w2d1 today, and i had a Nsv....my pants kept falling down, and i coulda swore i wore them at least once last week without any problems! Woohoo! It wasnt so bad, at first i was like What!!! I got this, then it got harder and harder, but i did it! Woohoo!

Completed W2D1 today. I felt great! Even added an extra 5 minutes before the cooldown! Bring on W2D2!!

The scale moved down!! Woohoo, ive been excersing like crazy with jillian michaels and bike riding, and nothing! Well inches i am sure but frustrating, then added c25k last week, and i already see results! My muffin tops went down and i lost a pound, after a two month plateau! Woohoo! Cant wait till tomorrow, jogging time again!

Gonna be doing wk 3 d1 later tonight, is everyone still on course with the challenge?

I'm on W10D3 of my Couch to 10K app by Heavy Duty apps. In the beginning, I just set up my phone on the treadmill and listened to music so I could get all my prompts from the app. Now that I'm running for a total of 50 minutes, I watch TV or movies on Netflix on my iPhone to keep me going. I watch my time on the treadmill instead of being tuned into the actual app...for me, I can't run 30 minutes straight on the treadmill (which is in my house) just listening to music. I get SOOO obsessed with the time.

I was barely able to jog 60 seconds and in 3 more weeks I'll be jogging for 60 minutes! My advice would be to take it slow and easy to avoid injury. Drink TONS of water before and after your runs, and don't worry about how fast you're going. Focus on the time versus the distance.

I'm focusing on stamina, which for me, means I'm "running" anywhere from 3.6-4.0 depending on how I'm feeling at that point. Eventually, I will focus on increasing my speed, but I'm just super pumped to be jogging without stopping! It really does make a difference! Good luck to everyone.

I don't think I found that I lost any weight directly. When I am running I'm not eating, when I have a run day I'm must less likely to binge.
I think I have massive amounts of endurance from c25k.

Here are some reasons NOT to do it.

Your going to want to buy new running shoes, then want real running shoes.
Your going to start actually caring about your socks
You will want an HRM
If you have GPS your going to get obsessive about tracking how far you actually went.
Those 5k races, they usually start early in the morning, no sleeping in on those days.
When you finally do a race, your going to realize just how f-en slow you are, which is going to make you start to freak out, and do interval training.
You will start thinking about the half marathon

So funny and tru expecially the running shoe part! Lol...i bought some running shoes, now i want to go to a real running shoe store and get fitted! Lol.

WOW oh my god, not only did I do it, t DIDN'T kill me! In fact, I felt so grea that I stuck another 3 minute run on the end of the session, I can't tellyou allhow fantastic I'm feeling about this right now! I just hope everyone else is feeling *kitten* great as I do right this minute!

today is my w3d2 run, and i am going - for the first time so far - to venture outside. i know that it's totally mental/mind-over-matter, but i am stressed about it! sigh....

I am so proud of myself today! W3d2! major success compared to w3d1! Where my calves killed the crap outta me! Today i did it no pain whatso ever. Got my heart rate up to 164! idk much about heart rate but i was happy, and ran walked sooooo much further then monday! Woohoo! My paced picked up! What a nsv!

great job! you've inspired me - now let's hope that i have the same success.
