    Yay,I just finished Week 6! So glad I have Day 3 under my belt because I was seriously dreading that run and I did it without stopping! :) Bring on Week 7.

    W6D2 done. And.... I skipped the 3 minute walk, kept running for 23 minutes. I always find the first 5 minutes or so, soooo hard, but it get so much easier after that. I think I prefer the longer runs to the interval runs. Day 3 should be fine.

    And day 3 now done as well.

    I wonder if we even need the app after this one, it's just 25 mins next week and then on and on.... I guess keeping it up is going to be the biggest challenge!

    Week 6, day 1. done.

    Brrrr, it was chilly outside today and I'm pretty sure I didn't dress properly. I'll have to get that sorted out.

    starting week 6 today. This is my second time through the program ( the first time I had to stop at week 7 because of an injury) and Im very nervious for this week. This is the week where I started to really notice that I had to fight with my brain when it was telling me I needed to stop. Im hoping now, 71 lbs lighter, that there wont be as much of a mental struggle, but i do feel hesitations around going for the run tonight,
    wish me luck

    Hello! I can join the W6 club now! Did W6D1 tonght....usually do it on the running track but the athletic club was on it so had to pound the pavement instead! Whilst it was harder as its not flat all the way, it was a lot less boring, I thought I had an extra run to do when my nice lady on the app said 'cool down now :)

    Did week 6 day 1 today! I've just started to run outside and today was my first time ever running on the beach (I'm on vacation)...omg hard!! I definitely felt it the last half of the 8 min run and the last 5 min run...I'm hoping I get stronger though! I felt like I was less winded after the full 20 min one the other day!

    Repeating W6D2...did it two days ago, I had to stop at 8 min on the second 10 min run:cry: just wasn't feeling it, couldn't get my breathing right. Took a break for a couple of days, rested my legs, now I'm ready to get back at it:bigsmile:

    Had to repeat the first day of week 6 :x
    I actually wanted to do the first 10min, but then felt pretty weak, so I decided to do the 5-8-5 :x
    Gonna do better in two days time :)

    I'm doing Week 6, Day 2 tomorrow. I've tried C25K once before when I had much much much less determination. But his ttime I'm already further into the program than I've ever been. I can't quite yet see the finish line but this time, I'm sooo gonna reach it!!! :-)

    Completed Day 2!!! For the last 1/4 of my second 1 mile run, I just kept saying to myself "just 1 more second" over and over again.
    When does this get easier!?? LOL.

    Hi Week Sixers!

    I've just completed Day 1 yesterday - I was up and out running by 5:30am! I didn't find it too bad, though I did make the mistake of thinking I could run faster than I really could again on the first running section. I managed to recover and reined it in a bit for the following ones. It is frustrating because my brain is telling me I can run faster than this, but my body obviously disagrees at the moment!

    I can't wait til I'm doing a full half hour running, and can start working on increasing the distance I can run in that time! :smile:

    ETA: Still can't believe I'm looking forward to running longer! Absolutely mental lol

    Wow, I made the exact same mistake. I thought, "well heck, I ran for 20 minutes last week... I should be able to fly through five minutes now!" Uhhh..... no..... I should not. :embarassed:

    Slow and steady, slow and steady, slow and steady....

    That needs to be my mantra lol!

    I've completed Day 2 this morning. I found it harder to get going on the second set of running, and was thinking afterwards that I might have found it easier with no walking breaks at all, strange as that sounds. I seemed to lose momentum with having to slow down, so I'm hoping that Day 3 proves my theory. I suppose it doesn't help that most of my route is up a massive hill, but I'm hoping that by doing it each time, it will get easier and it will make me fitter overall.
