After the C25K...
To those who have made it to the end of the program or are close, tell us what you're doing now (or planning to do). Are you still running or was getting to 5K a bucket list thing that you're not interested in doing more than once? Are you hooked - are more races in your future? A 10K? 10 mile? Half Marathon? Marathon?…
5K Results
Since we're in the last leg of the program I thought I'd create a thread for those of us who are registered for 5Ks. I'm sure everyone is as nosey as I am - err, I mean, wants to cheerlead everyone else on! ...yeah, that - so use this thread to tell us about the races you're registered for! Once you've run then - tell us…
Welcome and Introductions
Welcome to the C25K! This is my first time going through it and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Feel free to post an introduction here - I'll get us started. I'm Heather, age 28. I'm aiming to run my first 5k on 9/23 at the Brookfield Zoo in their Zoorunrun. I never thought running was for me, but my husband challenged me…

Week 9 - 9/24-9/30
Welcome to Week 9 of the Couch to 5K - this is it folks! :noway: If you have stuck with the program schedule, this is the end, my friend - of the couch potato program, at least :smile: In this program, you've learned to run - not just a 5K, but you took baby steps. 9 weeks ago running 8 1 minute intervals was killer. 5…
Week 8 - 9/17-9/23
Welcome to Week 8 of the Couch to 5K. Wow - the end is in sight! :o I could give you a pep talk, but really, at this point you already know you're awesome. Instead, I'm going to recommend that if you haven't already registered for a 5K - do so! The feeling you get from completing one is amazing, and well worth every bit of…
Check-in!
Where is everyone? Are you going through your workouts but just don't feel the need to comment on them? Did you stop running? Did you have to repeat a week? Are you right on track? The group has gone quiet - the first month we all posted a lot, and here Week 6 is just about over and the weekly thread doesn't even have a…
What comes next?
We're nearing the finish line and I'm curious about everyone's plans. Will running be part of your regular routine? Moving onto a new challenge? Or have you decided running is just not your thing? I've found (much to my surprise!) that I like the consistency of the running pattern, the solitude of jogging, and the feeling…
Week 7 - 9/10-9/16
Welcome to the Couch to 5K - Week 7! This week, you can say good bye to those annoying intervals. From here on out you're set loose to just get out there and run - isn't it amazing? 6 weeks ago, could you have imagined being able to run for 20 minutes at a stretch? It may not be easy yet - but you're doing it! The end is…
Week 5 (9/3-9/9) repeaters or just getting here
Hey guys. I just finished W4 up today so I'm going to try to sandwich in some runs back to back in an attempt to make it through Week 5. If all goes well I will do W5D1 on Wed and W5D2 on Friday. I am traveling over the weekend so the dreaded 20 minute run of W5D3 probably won't happen until Monday. Anybody else starting…
Week 6 - 9/3-9/9
Welcome to week 6 of the Couch to 5K! Look how far you've come - after you complete this week, you'll be done with 2/3 of the program and will have no more intervals to run. Next week and beyond you can look forward to nothing but long runs! (Well, well, what have we here? -stares at you- Looks like we've got a runner on…
Week 4 - 8/20-8/26
Welcome to Week 4 of the Couch to 5K! You're well on your way to running a 5K, so this week, let's kick it up a notch and beat our previous record of 3minutes of jogging. This week, you'll keep those 3 minute intervals but add a few 5minute ones. It may sound intimidating, but you have been slowly building up your…
Week 5 - 8/27-9/2
Welcome to Week 5 of the Couch to 5K! Take a deep breath and congratulate yourself for making it this far - this marks the midway point of the training program, and that is an achievement in and of itself. Give yourself a moment to take stock of your emotions - if you're not proud of how far you've come, you should be.…
Week 4 - August 27-Sept 2 (repeaters or just getting here)
