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:0 -

Just looking for some extra support from others working on the same goal. Please feel free to add me as a friend.0

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?0 -
Most runners don't like to distinguish between jogging (which would normally be considered just a slow run - Like less than 6mph) and running. It's all running.
You're going to do great

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!!!0 -

Off days are beach volleyball (league play on Thursday nights), swimming (and hopefully alot more swimming now that its warming up properly), walking and some stretching and additional strength training targeted at making my knees more stable. (I do lifting on training days, but only about 20 minutes worth)0 -
I started today. Please add me!0

Hi there,
My Name is Nicola, I'm 36 and live in Lanzarote.
I started yesterday and enjoyed it BUT has anyone
else who's just started found any 'tummy problems'
the next day?
(I really enjoyed it but wondering if this is something
that happens initially or something I need to watch
out for)
Thanks
