Rachel's "I can't run that FAR" log
Goal: (mostly) run/jog a 5K Running is not part of my exercise routine, but I tried running with my dogs a little during our walks and I actually liked it! My plan is to use the C25K program, I just have to get somewhere that has wi-fi so I can download it. In the meantime, I printed out Jeff Galloway's 5K training…

Davids " I can't run that" log
I have never been a runner. I am 6ft 375 lbs. I will run my first 5k in august 2013. I have suffered form debilitating Plantar fasciitis and heel spurs in the past so I have a slight worry about that reoccurring. I just bought some new asics and I'm ready to train!!! I posted some question in the c25k forums if you have…

Lori's "I can't run that far"
I am so not a runner. I can walk & hike like no other, but run, no. I have always been envious of those people that just go run for miles & miles. I had signed up for a 5k through work. My goal is to run the whole thing. I downloaded c25k & have been doing that. I'm currently walking @ 4mph & running @ 6mph for an average…

Davena's "I can't run that FAR" log
I can't run, pretty much at all. I had knee surgery in Feb to remove two tears in the cartlidge under my knee cap. I have Chondromalacia patellae, which means the cartlidge under my knee cap is soft and tears easily. After surgery I was told I'd have 85 - 95% function. Lifting heavy has helped strengthened the muscles…

ams "can't run that FAR when running that FAST"
Since I can walk for hours, I think it would be best to set a speed goal. I currently jog/run comfortably at an 11.5-12 min mile pace. I have run a 10 min mile, but it is by no means easy. What I really want to be able to do is run comfortably (20-30 min) at an 8 min mile pace. Perhaps be able to run a 7 min mile, if I…

Dawn's "I can't run that far" status
Goal: run/jog a 5K to work toward the zombie run in August. So I posted today that I really want to star the C25K program and was asking for people's opinions. I got some nice feedback and my dear friend Rachel invited me to this group as another incentive to get me started and keep me motivated. I live in Western Pa where…

Lindsay's "I can't run 3 miles in one go" Log
I'm not afraid of distance, I regularly cover 5-8 miles when I work out. But where I get hindered is actually making it continuous. I can't run 3 miles straight through, my legs ache from the pounding. I have to stop and walk and then pick up again. I've run 5k's before, and have had success at cutting my 5k time down by a…

Jennie's "I can't run that Fast or Far" Log
Hi, I'm Jennie :) I'd like to start out with a 5K 10min mile goal. This will be quite a challenge for me, I'm guessing. I know I can last for 3 miles but including the speed goal is going to make it sufficiently hard for me. I think I've only ever done an 11min mile in the past, but I've not logged my speed that often. I'm…

Jennas "I can't run that"
So I've booked a walk/run series in the coming months. First one was a 4km walk, (walk simply because I'd left it too late to do any sort of training) which was on Sunday. I managed to knock off 7 minutes from last year so I was pretty happy with that, but the next 2 are 4km runs and I'd really like to be able to run the…

Crystal_Pistol's I Can't Run that Far! Log
Okay, I'm in. Up for a challenge. My goal is to run a 5K at some point, which means I am looking at needing to be able to run 3 miles continuously. I am choosing to run because I *know* I can walk or "elliptical" 3 miles; I do it whenever I am planning to eat a psycho meal for calorie padding. Running? Ummmm, no. Believe…
