Hi all. I've recently started the c25k programme. I log it in as 8 min jogging and 12 min brisk walk (1st week)
and my calories burnt came up to about 150. Just curious to know how you guys log it and how much do
you burn?:happy:

    Do you do it outside or on a treadmill?

    try using the runkeeper ap that is on available on Android and iPhones. It tracks your total workout.

    I always logged the jogging and walking portions separately, too. It had the added benefit that now I can look through my exercise diary and follow my c25k journey, which is kind of neat when i'm feeling discouraged. It's good to look back and how how you slowly progressed and came so far. I know that some people just average the MPH and log it that way, too, though. I added little notes at the bottom of a lot of my runs, too-if my asthma acted up, if my knee was bothering me, etc. As I was able to run longer, I started tracking my mileage and time, too.

    I don't have a fancy phone or Ipod that uses apps. I just do it old school, map my run to decide where i'm going with whatever mileage i'm doing that day, and then head out with a stopwatch to time it lol.

    I actually enter it in as C25K and enter in the cals burned manually. I use a heart rate monitor. For week two, the last couple of days I have were for 29 minutes at 278 calories and 25 minutes, 228 calories. But I also don't always just stop with the timer, as you can see by the varying times.

    I am starting week 5 of c25k and I log the run and walking seperately as well. I have mapmyrun app on my droid and i sometimes have that running as well, that will track your distance and time and pace, so it's nice. Good luck! :)

    I use MapMyRun on my Droid, it tracks my average speed. Then I log my time at the average speed....minus 10 minutes or so because I'd rather be under tracked than over. Lol

    265 Cals for 25 mins this morning. I use my HRM. And of course it would also depend on your weight, among other things.

    I just started week 2. I track the walking and running separately also. I use an app called map my walk on my phone. Hoping to someday run more than walk and then I can get the map my run.......... LOL

    My app had my calories burned calculated based on my paces. I created my own exercise; C25K and always logged it under that.

    This thread is helpful because i am looking to journal my walks/jogs/runs.

    I started this today too! Literally got back in the door about twenty minutes ago. Still not sure how to log it though; I don't have a heart rate monitor, and I just used the c25k pro app on my phone - so I'm not sure what my pace was. I ran 7 out of the 8 times I was supposed to, and kept a good walking pace the rest of the time... suggestions for how to calculate?
