I started yesterday, so excited!

Hi everyone! I just finished the first week of C25K... loving it so far! What a cool app... even managed to run outside one night! I think I ate some bugs along the way. Should I log them as a snack? LOL....

As I told my co-worker, its good to sweat... that way no one sees you cry...

Hey everyone!! I am starting today! Wish me luck!!

bump :-)

Hi all - just restarted today. Planning my first 5k on Labor Day! I posted this in the main forum, but am actually training 90% of the time on an elliptical (to save my knees). Anxious to find out if anyone else has done this and has any advice.

Sus

I'm new too! Today is day 1! I haven't done my first C25K run yet, but I'm excited! I've tried it before and it worked really well, but I let myself stop and get back to being unhealthy. So, here we go again! Cheers to staying motivated and getting fit!

Does it count if I'm starting over?!

I have not yet started the program but am planning to next week. I have been on MFP since February and have lost 30 IBS so far. I have been reading about many people on here who have done this and would like to add some friends who will support and motivate me!!

I am also a C25K and it's an amazing program, stick with it and take those rest days in between your runs and you'll succeed!!

Hey there! I'm brand new to this board and I haven't ran since college days(15+ years).
I'm excited to commit myself to C25K. I think i'm going to ease into it with a combination of brisk walking
and using an elliptical. I've come across Podrunner Intervals, on iTunes, and i'm looking forward to using that as
part of my motivation. Thanks for letting me join you in this!!! :drinker:

I started today too!!! Good luck to you!!!

Hi, I'm new to this and hearing of it. I did last summer run 2 miles in 1/2 mile increments (walk 1/2 a mile, jog 1/2 a mile). I started with 1/2 mile, worked up to a mile, then 2 and I would walk 3 miles. But the weather (Seattle area) took over and has been cruddy for a very very long time.

So I'm doing it again. This week twice I have jogged 1 mile, in 1/2 mile increments, (walk 1/2 mile, jog 1/2 a mile). I plan on keep going for the next few months until I'm up to 3 miles without stopping.

Is jogging considered running, what's the difference?

Hi! I am so glad I found this group today yay!
My massage therapist who tried the Couch 2 5K before, told me about it 2 weeks ago.
I started my first week just last week and am enjoying the program.
I thought I would be able to train for a 1/2 marathon that is coming up but as it turns out
I will not have the proper 12 weeks to prepare so I will sign on for the 5K instead.
I really have no desire to become a full marathon runner and am not sure if I want to stress
my body to do the half either. I suppose that time will tell as I move forward with this group
and my training program. I have downloaded all of the free podcasts titled
"Chubby Jones C25K" and am switching out on off days with X-training.

What types of workouts do you guys do when you are taking a break from running? I like my
elliptical workouts, weight training, swimming, hiking and walking the beach here in SoCal.

Thanks for sharing your stories here and thanks for checking me out too:drinker:
Here's to a great Summer of health and good fun!!!

I started today. Please add me!
