    That's awesome! I'm about to begin week 4 tonight. The idea of running for five minutes is terrifying me, but if you can run a whole 30 minutes, then I can do five!

    Big congrats and I hope to join you this weekend. I will do W9D2 this evening. C25K is a wonderful program.

    Have some great runs to everyone!

    I've been wanting to do this for ages but hate running and so the idea of this programme scares me. But with the weather getting nice and seeing as I live by the beach I think that now is the time to start. :smile:

    Awesome! Bet you are proud. I've always wanted to be a 'runner'. I just completed W1D3 yesterday and am looking forward to making progress like yours!

    Yaay! The program makes it so achievable that you can do it, but you have to have the will and desire to finish, which is often the biggest hurdle. You didn't let your brain get in the way!
    I'm on week 3 now, and love it. I've tried it before and only got to W1 d2, but I know I'm in a better mental place now, and want it that much more. Plus, I'm signing up for a 5k run/obstacle course that registration opens for on April 1-- eep!!

    Many congrats!

    I finished c25k 2 weeks ago. My pace is slow, so I have not actually run for 5K, but am continuing on to work on my pace. I hate the process of running, but love how I feel afterwards. I have lost inches off my waist, hips and thighs & feel terrific.

    Congrats! I'm on WK 2 day 3 & I'm loving it so far. I've always HATED running & just couldn't understand why people would WANT to run when I thought of it hurting lol! Then I came across this app & there is something "mind clearing" about running. I look forward to progressing & graduating as well! Congrats!

    Here's a thought to people using C25k ... This is what i'm doing...


    This is ofcourse you run on a treadmill.... Start over at week 1 and run it at an incline. Or if your an outside runner... pick an area that is more hilly then your current run pattern. This way you build your leg strength up farther which will increase your overall speed.


    Personally i use a treadmill mostly.... so i'm doing the program over again at a 3.0 incline. Once completed ill restart and do 5.0 incline.
