Day 1:
Brisk five-minute warmup walk.
Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes.
five-minute cool down walk.
Day 2:
Brisk five-minute warmup walk.
Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes.

Good luck!! We can do this! If you are having trouble then take it slow and repeat the week if you have to! Remember to put a x on the spreadsheet (or a number if you have to do one multiple times).

Please post in here as you complete the days for this week, let us know how it went and how you are doing so we can motivate each other.
I completed day 1 yesterday and it went pretty good and I am looking forward to the up coming weeks.0 -
Day 1 done on the treadmill.0
-
I'm a little ahead of you guys but it's so nice to have a support group to finish this app. I've done it before but gave up 1/2 way through it. Anyway, last week I got through Week 1 (on a treadmill) but I was going to re-do Week 1 and increase my speed on the interval laps slightly.0

I did day 1 yesterday. It went well.

Day 1 yesterday. I went slow but made sure to completely jog the full 60 secconds, walk the full 90 seconds etc. I haven't ran in, well, I don't remember the last time! Those 60 second intervals seemed to get longer and longer each time LOL0
-
I have completed the first two days! They both went well. I have completed the Couch to5k program before, but this time I am working to improve my speed!0
-
I did week 1 day 1 on Sunday evening, with one of my dogs.
It went well, but I was relieved on the last round. it was a 10 minute walk back home, which was NICE.
I was thrilled that it was the first time that I got my fitbit flower up to 6 leaves.0 -
week 1 days 1+2 down. I never thought I would like running, but its so peaceful out there on the road. I also have a great app on my android called runstar. It's awesome for runners. Check it out!0
-
Week 1 days 1 and 2 done. I'm amazed at how good I feel after. I'm liking this.0
-
Week 1, Day 1 complete. I have done this program before but haven't run in close to a year now so I'm starting over. It works!0
-
Week 1 Day 2 completed yesterday. I did this one outside - UGH!!!!0
-
Doing mine on treadmill. Forgot to post. Will update spreadsheet. Did Day 1 on Tues. and Day 2 today. Will get Day 3 in either tomorrow or Sat. morning.0

I completed week 1 day 1 on Monday and my ankle started aching the next day. It feels worlds better now but I think my first week is going to stretch out longer than most. I want to make sure it's 100% before I start again.0
-
Completed all of week 1 workouts. Now I am ready for week 2.0

Make sure you take it easy! I did C25k in October and had to quit in week 3 due to tendinitis in my ankle.0 -
Completed all of week 1 workouts. Now I am ready for week 2.
Good work!! I got one more in week 1, but I am ready for week 2!0 -
Started day 1 today... Waited for my S.O. to join me, because he will provide the motivation to stick it out. Otherwise, I know I would just quit. It was great to have him beside me, suffering with me lol. Although he's got a higher metabolism and a skinny body naturally, he's just as out of shape as I am. That made me feel better about the whole thing!
Keep going!

Just finished day 3 and it felt great.. I honestly felt like I could keep going so I am looking forward to next week.0
-
Day three done. Feeling good. I do believe I can do this!0
-
Finished day 2 and feeling great!0
-
Day 3 complete. Awesome. Still working on the shin pain though and hope it goes away completely at some point. Oh, and I'm doing this on the treadmill right now. I'll move it outside at some point.0

I started the C25K last week (on Thursday 26th ) and am loving it so far.
I completed week 2 session 1 last night and found it quite difficult in parts, my legs were burning but I pushed through and made it to the end which is pretty massive achievement as I have never been a runner. My body was built for comfort not for speed!
I can already see a difference in my general stamina and so far have managed to run for all the designated time which I'm quite surprised about. Am looking forward to my next session already.
Would love some support if anyone wants to add me as a friend 0 -
Finished Week 1 on Tuesday and I'm psyched to start Week 2 tonight! Who knew I could get this excited about running!? It's also so inspiring to know that you're all out there doing it too.0
-
Day 3 is in the books. I did today on the treadmill again. My goal is 2 days a week on the treadmill and 1 day outside because the outside is killing me!!0
-
Hi! So I just logged in for my first 2 sessions! I'm sooo excited. Just 1 more to go over the weekend and it starts over.
See u guys soon!0 -
I just started day 1 today. Is it too late to join the group?0
-
Started a few weeks ago and now on week 3. But you will all catch up and pass me soon as I'm doing every week 2-3 times. Updated spreadsheet today.0
-
It's not too late daddiocoolcat, Welcome! I've added you to the tracking spreadsheet.0

I am so glad to find this post - I started on Monday, so I am right in line with most of the group. I am happy that the high school track is only a few blocks from home and that we can use it. My husband is my running partner at the track, and my little ones play on the football field while we do our work out. I do think it is a good program, and am excited for the results but I have not fallen in love with "running" yet. By the last lap (my husband actually pushes me to go a little longer than the required 20 minutes) I don't think that I am running any faster than I was walking, but I am out there doing it and has seemed a tiny little bit easier each night.
I have perpipartum cardiomyopathy (heart failure) and have been told for 20 years to avoid running because of my knees, so I was really afraid to get started, afraid that I wouldn't even be able to do the first night. I did end up extending a few of the walks on the first night. But tonight on my third night we actually did over 23 minutes and threw a 90 second "run" in at the end.
Great job to everyone that has started on this journey, no matter where you are at this point, the important thing is that you have started!0 -
