    ETA: It's my first time actually progressing with c25k lol...i've started it too many times to count and was too scared to go bast week 1/2 because of my asthma . :blushing:

    I've gotten to the point over the years where I only take the emergency inhaler when I absolutely need it...I really hate using it...but a couple of times this year I Have had asthma attacks while working out. Getting in better shape has helped me a lot, though, I don't have attacks nearly as much as I used to. :flowerforyou:

    OP lol sorry for hijacking your thread.

    Hi - I just joined this group.
    I am doing c25k again as well. Did really well with it 2 years ago, but since had a large weight gain and stopped exercising.
    Now I'm back on c25k - week 4 day 3. Doing really well and looking forward to that big 20 minute run coming up next week. I remember how amazing it was the first time around. So excited to be back here again!!
    :)
    Good luck and happy running!
