I just started this program yesterday. My husband is a triathlon competitor, and he has been trying to get me to do this program for awhile. Made the first day. Just hope that I can stick with it.0
-
I've started a couple different times, I keep getting derailed but i'm being active. its a great program and I will finish it sometime by yr end!0
-
im on week 3 day 2. I LOVE IT! just make sure you stick with it and do it 3x times a week! i do it sunday, tuesday, and friday. you'll be very impressed with your progress, im shocked i can run for 3 straight minutes now lol0
-
I start week 3 tonight and to be honest I am kinda scared.:noway: I have to run for 3 minutes straight...YIKES!!0
-
I just did my first run yesterday, second tomorrow.0
-
I've had it bookmarked for a while but have been putting off getting a stopwatch or HRM to keep track of my intervals cause I'm a bit low on cash. Can anyone suggest a way of tracking it without equipment? I was thinking maybe counting lampposts or something.0

completed W5D1 today. So far so good. The best advice I have gotten is to slow your pace and go for endurance not speed. That being said, I can only slow down so much and I just feel like I am bouncing. I think everyone has a comfort zone or natural pace to a degree.
Good luck!!!0 -
I started today and had a hard time... I thought my pace was a slow jog, I breathed in through my nose and out my mouth and was still running out of breath. Not sure if I need to slow my pace even more or if I'm just THAT out of shape. I'm going to stick with it though!0
-
I'm in week 7! I can now jog for 25 min in a row! Stick with it, you will amaze yourself!0
-
I did week 1 day 1 one day.. Not feeling to bad, so I plan on doing week one day two tomorrow morning.
Forgot to mention.. I have the Simple C25K app for Android.. and it is the best. Beeps when you need to run, beeps when you need to walk and you can listen to your own music.0 -
I just finished week 1 day 2 today! I am loving it!0
-
You can add me if you like, I'm on week 6 day 3. I went from barely being able to run for 30 seconds to running for 20 minutes now!! It's a great program. Do it and you will amaze yourself.0
-
I started this morning!0

There is a good C25K group on here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/47-couch-to-5k-running-program-c25k-0

Just keep with it! Im on week 7, can run 25 minutes now. Im still slow though. Id reccommend not to run too fast, run at a slow manageable pace or you will tire yourself out! Good luck!0

I am doing week 3 day 3 tonight (working night shift)0
-
I'm about to start c25k too. **GULP**0
-
I just completed Week 3 this morning! When I first saw that 3 minute jog, I was nervous, but it really wasn't as bad as I thought. Week 3 was more about helping with your endurance. Keep it up everyone! It's possible
I'm scheduling to run my first 5K in November. I know it's kind of far from now, but I'm a college student and it was the best timing for me!
Happy Running0 -
I'm on week 6, and still can't believe I'm really doing it!!! :happy: I'm not breaking any speed limits, and it's not very pretty, but I'm doin' it!!! My husband tells me that now I'm on the program, we can run a 5K together...I told him I still don't see myself doing anything like that, but it would be nice to know that I COULD, if I WANTED to!!! He he he he!!!! You can totally do this!!!!!0
-
Today was day 2 for me. It went great.0
-
Finished C25k last week and its a awesome program! I would recommend learning the proper stretches to avoid injury setbacks. Also, learn to breathe with your belly and not your chest, it doesn't matter if its through your nose, mouth or both. I'm bridging to 10k now!0
-
I am on week 2 day 1 but this is my second time doing it....I completed all 9 weeks of it last year and it was great. The one tip I can give is when you start the 3 to 30 min jogs make sure you focus on your breathing....Make a cadence in your head and breath in and out to that....I had to learn that one the hard way. Also when you start the longer jogs make sure to bring music it gets boring lol. Good luck0
-
i'm hoping to start this week (although i just started body revolution 7 day kickstart so i might have to push it)0
-
2morrow is day 2 for me
me too! well kinda :P I completed week1 and week2 day 1 about 3 weeks ago but pushed TOO hard and got a terrible shin splint, i had to take some serious time off But the good news is Ive started back up again! Decided to repeat every week to avoid pushing too hard too fast.
Thats my advice, if you need to repeat a week dont be affraid to do so! take it easy but push thru the initial frustration. I always feel ridiculously fantastic the day after a run ^_^0 -

Awesome!!! I need some inspiration. lol I am doing my second round of c25k because I was so lost on the running thing during the winter. lol0 -
I start W4 tonight. 18 minutes total of jogging. Now THAT is scary.0

I completed the program twice. I did not do much running after I finished the first time and dpretty much had to start from scratch. The second time, I signed up for a 5k in my area at the end of week 9. My goal was to just complete it without walking and I did it!
Seven months later, I have completed around a dozen races since then. I am still slow, but I get there. I am now training for my first half marathon in October.
Good luck, repeat weeks if you feel you need to, and have a goal in mind for after you finish and HAVE FUN with it!!!0 -

I use that 2...week 1 day 2 for me 2morrow as well.0 -
:noway: :noway: I just started the C25K program this week. I'm on day 3 Week 1. My husband is a triathlon competitor and he keeps asking me to try a 5K. He thinks I can do it. I think I am going to try after I finish this program. I'm nervous, but I know exactly how you feel.0
