Just to encourage those who are thinking about Couch to 5K - today I ran for 30 minutes without stopping: 2.33 miles. May not be a lot to some regular runners, but for me, who just a few weeks ago, thought she was going to die after running for just 90 seconds...it's a miracle!! ::NSV dance:: :bigsmile: (We really should have a "NSV dance" smiley!)

That's great! I finished C25K in February - and I ran 6.2 miles on Saturday!0

What and accomplishment!! I started a modified c25k yesterday evening and like you, could barely run 90 sec.0

Congrats! I started it Monday and just about died. I will welcome the day when I can get to 30!! Great job!! :happy:0

I'm in the middle of the program and am very pleased with my progress. It's amazing how far I've come! My first practice 5k is this weekend!!!0

I felt great yesterday after running for 20 minutes straight. Now that 30 minute 5K doesn't look too far away.0
-
Awesome. Week 8 now. Also thought I would die at 90 seconds.0

That is an awesome job!!! WTG! I'm looking forward to the day when I can say that I've run for 10 or 20 or 30 minutes without stopping.0

That is AWESOME! I am trying to make it through week 5 and I feel like my legs are going to fall off! LOL! :sad:0

It is a wonderful feeling. Congrats! I'm on week 8...and like you, never thought I'd make it past W1D1!

Im on week 2 of C25K and I can't wait to be where you are at now! I hardly ever ran even as a child. It just wasn't my thing. Then I put on all this weight and "run" became a 4 letter word! lol Im working on it though, slowly but surely. Congrats on your nsv! And I totally agree that we need an nsv smiley!0

Great job!!! I agree on the "NSV dance smiley"!0

That's very inspiring. I quit smoking in January so I secretly would love to start running. Right now I'm focused on building up some endurance (brisk walking/30 day shred) but my next goal is the Couch to 5k.
Congrats!!0 -
That is awesome! Doing the NSV dance with ya

My sister and I started doing C25K two weeks ago. We both thought we were going to die! This morning we got up and ran for 4 minutes and felt great about it I know I have a long way to go, but this is the first day I feel like my body is getting the hang of it! 0

I just did W4D2 and it was easier than Monday when I did day one. I also thought I'd never make it when I started on week one. What a wonderful program, and a great feeling when you make it!! Congratulations!0
-
I am going to do W5D2 today. That means I will be doing W5D3 on Friday which is the first 20 min straight run. I am sooo nervous about that! I am going to have to dig deep.
The program really does seem to work though. I am pleased with my progress so far.0 -
Congrats on your success! I'm on w2d2 and I'm happy with my progress so far but I look forward to actually running.. And for a good amount of time and distance.0
-
Thats amazing! Well done... I quite smoking just a few weeks ago and straight away started on Cto5K... I still have a long way to go, but this post is encouraging.
This morning I did the 2 min run, 3 min brisk walk and repeated. And then did a 40 min brisk walk home. That is great for me, I could not have managed that in the first week.
Thank you for the encouragment. :-)0 -
How extremely exciting. I'm on w6d2 the 20 min run! Pretty nervous about it but I remember when I was nervous about 1minute!! Great job!!0
-
great job!! I am on w3d2....I am SO excited to be able to run 30 minutes straight! I am having a hard tome with the 3 moniutes straight right now but 3 weeks ago I couldnt run 1 minute straight!0
-
Alright. I'm inspired. I'm starting the program today! I would LOVE to be able to say I ran a 5K! 0
-
Thank you for posting this. And congratulations! I am on week 3 of C25K, well repeating it due to illness last week. But feeling a lot better about it!0
-
That is so awesome! I'm on week 3 and am super proud for running 3 minutes straight! haha0
-
i completed W5D1 last night and my knee is starting to hurt, i am a bit nervous about day 3 when i have to run 20 min non stop, i just hope my knee doesn't stop me:( but other than that great program !!!0
-
It's so encouraging to hear all your stories too. We CAN do this, right..because we are AWESOME :bigsmile:0
-
good job0
-
Woohoo! I'm on week 4 (in fact, I'm procrastinating from doing my second run right this moment), and I was impressed that I could actually go for 5 minutes without stopping. I'm looking forward to being able to go longer!0
-
Congrats! I'm starting week 7 tonight and starting to plan what I'm going to do after I complete this program. My goal is to run a five mile race on July 4th.0
