Hi everyone! Been up and running as a group for a few days now and I love seeing new faces every time I log on!!!! GOOD JOB!!! I have hit a little road bump myself, I think I might be catching a little stomach bug, not sure....just feel nauseated and tired. So I am still going to workout, and KINDA do the run, but just do all walking and see how I feel.
SO............how is everyone elses runs coming along....noticing any changes?

I hope you feel better soon! Last night I did Week 1 Day 3. I feel pretty good about it. I am going to do one more day of week 1 tomorrow. With the running and the strength training it just seems easier to do M-W-F (same week) I would be beginning Week 2 of C25K tomorrow and beginning week 4 of NRoW4W Monday..see confusing!!
Anyhow, I'm looking forward to hearing about everyone else!!0 -
Great!! Did my second run today. Felt so good afterwards.0

Just completed W2D2, am finding that 90 seconds last a long time when you're not fit! I'm sure it will get better..?! On the plus side it was a lovely morning and I always feel good about myself once I have finished!0

Found myself catching an Upper Respiratory Infection this week making even climbing the porch stairs taking my breath away! Sigh, seems like every time I am gung ho to start something new, something comes up! LOL, I am going to give W1D1 a whirl this afternoon and see how my breathing holds up, if I'm not ready yet I'll shoot for Monday instead! Congrats to everyone's progress so far, I look forward to getting started!0

Hello everyone!
I am glad to find this group.
I am on week 5 or C25K and had a BIG surprise when between W5D2 and W5D3 it went from 8 minute jog intervals to 'run for 20 minutes'. :noway: I knew, I was not ready YET for that, so instead I increased my time by two minutes and decided to increase it by another 2-3 minutes every other day to SLOWLY work up to 20 or more... I was a little shocked by the sudden increase.
For those who have done this week, how did you handle the big increase?0 -
I just did W2D1 and I did good! So surprised how much I liked it!0

Yikes! That is a huge increase!
I am only on the first week... Today I had planned to run, but all my walking before starting this program has given me some blisters (I've been walking for about 1.5 hours each day). I decided to splurge on really good socks and got some stuff to cushion the blisters. From my previous experience, I am sure it is the socks... I can feel when they aren't right. I will be doing W1D2 tomorrow.0 -
I did week 4 day 1 yesterday and was very proud that I was able to run for 5 min without stoping! 0

Finished W2D3 today, and really enjoyed it, I don't if thats because I knew I didn't have to get ready for work but it felt different today. I am looking forward to starting W3 on Monday, lets hope I am still feeling positive after that one! Have a lovely weekend everyone 0

I've been working out for a while now, but haven't incorporated running yet. Yesterday I decided I was going to time my mile and did it in 12 min. That really surprised me, and I was still able to walk for another 1/2 hr after that on an incline. Sooo, I think I can probably start comfortably at week 4. So that's the plan. I'll post again on Monday and let you know how my first day goes.0

End of Week 8 today - found it hard to run today as I felt tired. Can't believe I have come this far though, its a great training tool.0
-
Finished w3d3 friday! Woohoo. Nervous about the w4! Five minute run!0
-
I'm doing W1D2 tomorrow. Did day one yesterday, today I rode my bike for a mile and a half... I'm pumped about exercising.
Since I did day one I noticed that the top of my right foot, where my "ring toe"
meets my foot is sore... Is that normal? 0 -
Finshin week 1 today! I can't wait for the run or for week 2 to start :happy:
Ran through my shin splints on day 2, I have a feeling I'll have to do it again on day 1 of week 2
Hope everyone else is doing great on their journey to a 5K!!! :drinker:0 -
Week 3 Day 3 and so far every session has pushed me out of my comfort zone but has been achievable. I think that's why I feel that I can stick with it through to 5k where I have previously failed by doing too much too soon. Stick with it. Every time I put on my running shoes I have to tell myself I won't regret doing a run, but I will definitely regret staying on the sofa. I am always so pleased after I've finished.0

So I finished week 4 today! Yay! Im scared of week 5 and plus my hips have been really sore after I run, their not to bad during but I dont know how their gonna like the 8 min run...0
-
I completed W2 D1 yesterday! I'm super proud of myself. I quit smoking 2 weeks ago and I'm still getting over the flu that went around my house. I was pretty stinkin' tired on that last run. I had to push myself but I totally made it!! :happy:0

Last night when it was time to stop running and go back to walking..I wanted to keep running!! Victory!
I like some others repeated week 1, so tomorrow will be Day 6 of Week 1. I should not have repeated it.
Go us!!0 -
I was suppossed to start yesterday and well....I didnt! I did go for a walk with the kids but not the actual program. I am thinking of doing that today if I get a chance to and also going for it tomorrow morning since I dont have to go to work. that way monday I can do Week 2...what do you all think?0
-
Completed Week nine, Day 2. I ran for 40mins non stop though found it a bit hard today but pushed through. Its a good program to get you going and moving.0
-
Great going everyone!! You inspire me!!!
I just finished week 1 today!!! I look forward to my first 5k!! I do find running gets a little long with the wrong music!! Anyone have any suggestions for songs?0 -
Just finished W3D7 covering a total of about 5.3km. The first 3 minutes and the last 3 always seem to be the hardest but I got through the rest OK. Week 4 here I come. Good luck everyone!0
-
so I did my first run today after a year of not doing so. I feel like I actually did better than I thought. I started with a 5 min brisk walk and then started jogging. I only had to stop twice for about a min or so to catch my breath! So all in all I completed only 2 miles today but I averaged 11min/mi which to me its huge! I thought I was gonna be done after the 1st min of jogging but I guess not!
Now my question to you all is........ If I managed to accomplish this, what week do you all think I should start with! I feel like I may be able to skip week 1 and....what do you all think?0 -
W2d3 completed today. how far is everyone running??0
-
I finished Week 4: Day 1 last night and was shocked that I could actually run for 5 minutes now! I NEVER thought in my wildest dreams that I would be able to run! I can't wait to keep going and push myself and eventually make it to that 5k soon!!!0

I guess you could say I'm on week 3. I started, got the respiratory crap, so started over again. However, I have modified it a bit. I'm running every day, M-F. The walk times I have modified a bit. I only walk a minute then run again. Just looked up Week 3, so we'll see how it goes in the morning. I'm not sure if I'll modify or follow it exactly.
I can tell a difference already. I walk at a faster pace and don't get near as winded when running.
Last time I ran it was 2.19 miles0
