    Don't be scared to do day 3!!! I was so scared of going from 8 mins twice to a straight 20 mins and I totally did it yesterday, on my first try!!! And I felt like I could have kept going! But I, too, did repeat day 2 4 or 5 times :)

    Im doing the C25k Treadmill version (http://www.c25k.com/c25k_treadmill.html), next week is going to be the start of week 2 for me. I am not a runner but I want to be, I have a 5k mud run on May 18th.

    Just started Couch 2-5-K. Have never been a runner. Couldn't run 3 miles if my life depended on it right now. Can't wait to see if this works! I'm on week two day two. I'm now scared about the transition from week 5 to 6!

    After months on the elliptical I wanted to start running too... So I downloaded the app and while I still use the timers to help with intervals I didn't find it that helpful because I didn't start out on the couch, I was in shape already so I always wanted a more difficult workout.

    I just did my first day of week one. It was good. I like how the lady (mine sounds british) tells you what to do. The music is kind of lame so I may look for a new app (using my sons I touch). I was so proud of myself for doing it. I have so much trouble breathing in a good pattern. I guess all this will come in time and practice.

    I started this program too! i absolutely hate(d) running but i wanted to run so i started this. i started week 4 yesterday and hesitated about running the 5 minutes but i made it through. for he last 5 minutes of running, i added an extra 30 seconds too! I'm somewhat dreading week 5 but if i'll take the advice of having to repeat wk. 5 day2 if needed... 20mins YIKES!
