9/21 start for C25K

For me the hardest run is the middle two.

The last one I usually sell out because it's the last one.

Got through Week 1: Day 2 yesterday! I've been running on the treadmill b/c the weather's been sketchy (rainy and thunderstorms) so hopefully I'll get out on the road next week. I did skip the second to last run b/c my headphone cord got tangled and I ended up dropping my iPod. Luckily, the only thing broken was my stride. :happy: Tomorrow is Day 3 and looking like another treadmill day. Thinking ahead to next week, can anyone tell me whether or not the transition from treadmill to road is difficult?

week 2 day one today. all was fine until the last run i did 60 secs of it instead of the full 90 but i feel like wednesday will be better. time for dinner now.
hope everyone else is doing ok. i think its an excellent program. my only problem is i run outside and im never sure how far to run before i turn back to come home. today i ended up jogging circles round my house to finish the warm down ha ha,

For the people having trouble breathing go see a Doctor. I have had asthama since I was a child. I don't always need my inhaler to run or work out, but when I do I'm glad I have it.

I did W2D1 yesterday. I didn't run as strong as I would have liked, but that's to be expected with the new run/walk schedule. I did an out and back on a dirt road. The out part was into the wind, the back was with a tailwind. I didn't realize how much resistance the wind was providing until I turned around.

As far as timing. I turn around at 10 minutes, so what if you walk an extra five minutes back to your house or car.

I kept thinking during the run yesterday: "Good Lord, I'm eventually going to do this for a half hour" But I thought about it some more and decided the program is designed a certain way for a reason. So this week I'm going to worry about a 1.5 minutes at a time.

What a great run I had, even though I had to use my treadmill. It was pouring rain, windy and cold. I just don't need to put myself through a run in those conditions. Tomorrow is supose to be better as far as the weather, so I'm hoping to get outdoors again.

I repeated week 1 this week...finally made it through all 8 60 second runs. will be moving in to week 2 on Monday!

I am a slow starter, so while I originally started on 9/21, it has taken me a while to actually "get into the groove". Saturday I decided to bump up to week 2, not knowing what it consisted of. I use a podcast, so all I have to do is run or walk when told (I'm such a good doobie!). I found it MUCH better than the first week. The minute on minute off was trying, where as I did the first 3 min run with almost no problem. The second set was more challenging, but I pushed through and felt so good about myself! I am going to do day 2 today.

did week 3 day 3 today and struggled :grumble: still gonna start week 4 anyways i hope it all goes smoothly good luck everyone

Struggled a little over the weekend so I did not get day 3 of week 5 in until yesterday. But I amde it and it is a 20 minute run with no breaks. Did not think I could do it but was able to do it all. For someone who has never been a runner I think I am starting to get hooked. On to week 6 Saturday!

I am repeating week 3 as well last week was a disaster only got one run in gonna start fresh at it today.

I hope everyone is good :happy:

have only run once this week and that was today. W4 D1 managed all but the last 5 minute run. it was a mixture of wogging and walking but i have been offish for since the weekend. I'm really starting to feel better this week. so tommorroow will be day two.

plus i have got to stop running up hill on the way home its killing me lol. Maybe run uphill at start and down hill at the end then i'll make it all the way.

I have really enjoyed this program so far and can actually feel a difference in my stamina so i want to push on. I have a feeling i will be repeating this week though.!

Finished week 3 on Saturday, and am planning on starting week 4 day 1 tonight after work.
