How are you logging interval running (or C25K programs?)

I log the running and walking separately as well. Seems to be the easiest way to do it!

glad you posted this - i'm logging it the same way (so, for instance, today i did w5d2, which was 16 min jogging & 15 min brisk walk)... will be interesting to see what other people have to say.

I did this program, and I'm currently do the 10K ap. I log the run/walk as separate items.

I just did W1D2 this morning and log the walking/jogging seperatley as well

I log it as treadmill (cause that's what I use), input the time and adjust the calories based in what the treadmill says.

I created my own exercises for each interval: walk 4/run 1 at 5.4 pace, walk 3/run 2 at 5.4 pace, etc etc. I think it accomplishes the same thing as logging separately, but there could be a difference.

I logged the total time based on the overall speed I was averaging for the duration. If I hit an speed pace on the average I would round down to the nearest half a mile until I hit the next .5 mph speed pace.

i log it by time and distance so if it as taken me 1 hr to cover 5 miles i put 60 mins at 5mph

i highly recommend getting a HRM that way you can just wear it while you do it, and then create a new exercise and enter the exact calories. This is, obviously, only if you have the money to get one (keep in mind, there are several inexpensive ones on the market)

and just my 2 cents-- it might be the best investment in your health that you make.

Otherwise, i'd say log them separately like you're already doing. I use my HRM, though. (Polar FT4)

I just did week 8, day 1 yesterday. I do my program on a treadmill at my local Y, and log on MFP using the average speed the treadmill says I did, along with the calories it says I burned. Week 8 and 9 are easier to log because they no longer have intervals built in, but they are all challenging in their own way. I wish you many happy runs as you go through this well thought out program, and find a fitter you at the end!

For the most part, I logged running and walking separately, but sometimes I just logged by average pace over the whole duration as calculated by Runkeeper or the treadmill.

Runkeeper and C25k at the same time.

I start week three tonight (God willing) and I log in as slow a run as I can find: 12 min/mile. I run outside on a trail and I have no idea how long it is. Not the most accurate way to be sure, but I short-burn myself so I still come out ahead.

I log it as 1 calorie because I don't eat back my exercise calories.

Awkward, sorry!

I always just go by overall pace and distance. So, if I walk/jog/wog 3 miles in 30 minutes (including intervals), that is 10 minutes per mile and most "experts" agree you burn 100 calories per mile (for a 150-pound person and you can adjust according to your weight) so whether inside or out, I have my distance and my time (even without a Garmin, you can use mapmyrun, etc). I'm at 180 pounds so I burn 130 calories per mile (180 pounds is 30% higher than the 150-pound person per 180-150=30 divided by 150=30%) so I've burned 390 calories in 30 minutes. On a treadmill, for every 1 degree incline you burn 10% more calories (per article in Runners' World magazine). Of course, treadmills are notoriously INCORRECT in distance and speed so I had my calibrated to discover it was 28% inaccurate so I don't use my treadmill unless beastly hot or cold.

Any-hoo....without sophisticated equipment, if you know your miles you can estimate based on the 100 calories/mile but you don't really have to log walking and running separately as it walking or running both burn 100 calories per mile (another Runners' World article).
