Anyone want to start C25K with me?

I meant how do you log it on MFP ? what type of exercise

I just go to create new exercise and put in the calories burned manually. Or you can look up either jogging or walking, depending on if you go over 5mph (12 minute mile) or not. I'm not sure if that throws it off because of the intervals though.

By the way, just did a little over 3 miles tonight in 41 minutes with my buddy! Super stoked and it was so much fun. Only reason we stopped then was because he didn't have running shoes and wanted to stop before he got a blister. Understandable because I wouldn't want to get a blister and have it hurt like heck for a week each time I ran lol.

Well done on the run , I created a new exercise and I had used endomondo
which reckoned I had burned off 336 calories.

I wore running shoes but size 11 in Asics are a bit tight so I got a blister doing
C25K W1D1

If you put a thick bandaid over it, it should help a little. If you end up always getting a blister in the same spot, you can put a bandaid on that spot before you run to help prevent it... either that or some people use vaseline and some use antiperspirant deodorant... I don't use either (yet) but I have only had one blister. I never popped it or anything and it ended up turning into a callous so I don't foresee having another one in the same spot but I could be wrong.

Can I join in? Doing couch to 10k but could do with the encouragement. Can't find anyone else doing the 10k programme on here.

Am moving into wk4 which is when things really get going... (eek!)

I'm just doing C25K to get me started. I'm running the Disney full marathon in January.

:O

Hey all!!

I did W1D2 last night after the kids were in bed. Feeling great today, although legs are teeny bit stiff. haha

I have a question and am wondering if anyone might be able to help?

Can a person gain 4-5lbs overnight from water retention in the muscles after starting an exercise program???????

I hopped on the scale this morning and couldn't believe the gain.. And I KNOW I didn't eat bad yesterday or enough to gain that much in fat!!! LOL

Any input would be appreciated.

Oh wow, well done! I'm considering entering for a 10k in the summer, but will wait to see if the programme kills me first....

I started this week, two runs down so far.

Hey all!!

Well, my feet and legs usually swell a little after I run so I started using a foot and calve massager within an hour of getting home. I have noticed that I usually pee more after I use it compared to days that I don't use it.

I've gained 5lbs overnight before but it was because I was pretty bloated... either from not using the bathroom that morning, hormones or sodium.

Ok thanks!

Guess I'll stay away from the scale for a few days hehehe..!!


Thanks agian!

Tomorrow is W1D2, my calves are still a little sore from Day 1 but I'm totally stoked that it went well. I finally convinced my husband to start it with me :happy:

We want to do the Devil Dash (not sure if we'll be ready for that one though) and the Color Run next February. :drinker: They look like so much fun.

Hahaha when I read that, I thought you were running it too and didn't realize you were quoting me at first. I was like :O !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thought I was gonna have an MFP buddy to do it with me for a second rofl

Haha, yeah sorry to confuse you. My attempt at quoting was a massive fail!

Was up at 7am for Wk4 R1 on c210k. Has increased to 2min runs, 3min walks for 55mins. Went really well except I over-ran and had to do an additional mad 5 minute full-out run to get home in time for getting out to work!

Funny though because I felt like I could have run for 20 miles without stopping. Used to get that feeling when I ran before, but this is the first time I have felt it this time round. Feeling much stronger and fitter. All good!

hoping to start today,great weather gonna be a slow start for me I can barely run at all lol let alone for that long but hopefully I'll work into it!!
