Starting, Again March 1!
So I am starting C25K for the 2nd time on March 1st. I have been running here and there, so I haven't completely stopped so I might start at week 3. We will see though. I have a 5K mud run that I want to complete on May 24th so that is my goal. I am also going to be doing Jillian Michaels Body Revolution as well. If anyone…

Rain jacket recommendations ?
Hello! Does anybody have good lightweight rain jacket recommendations? Thank you!

Treadmills?
Does anyone use a treadmill? I think I may need to buy a manual one because the weather is always bad. Are there better suggestions for indoor running? Any feedback appreciated.

What's your running/workout schedule?
Hi there! Just curious about how people structure their workouts- Do you do C25K every day? Every other day? Grab an opportunity whenever you have it? (like me :) ) And what do you do for cross training if anything? Thanks!

Injured on week 1!
So I'm all excited about finally getting round to C25K, I've got new running shoes fitted for my gait in a running shop, custom insoles, I've watched videos on form and ensured my stride length is short and I'm hitting the ground with my mid-foot and not heel-striking, I make sure I'm going nice and slow, warming up and…

Week 4
Completed week 4 day 1 today, anyone starting week 4? Hoping to complete the rest of my training outdoors if mother nature will cooperate and stop with the snow and ice! Today was gorgeous out, warm and sunny. Tomorrow will be cold again but I'm hoping the snow holds off and I can run outside :glasses:

Back to the bum injury
This is my second stab at C25K. Last fall I reached week 6 and got a back injury and pain down my left side (under my butt). Well, I've made it to week 5 and today's run resulted in that same pain. Not quiet as bad, but still there. I have the best shoes my money can buy but I'm not sure what else to do. I'm currently…

Returning To The C25K Program After Months Off
I completed the program in July 2013 but up until yesterday, I had not run in awhile. I'd like to start running again and wasn't sure where to start. I went ahead yesterday and did W6 D2 (10 mins run, 3 mins walk, 10 minutes run) just to see how I felt. I was very surprised that I was able to complete it (and didn't feel…

Afraid to Start
I'll probably sound like a broken record to many of you... but I'm afraid to start! I've had the C25K app downloaded on my phone for over three weeks now. I opened it once while sitting in bed. That's it. I opened it... and was like, uhm- I don't think so. I HATE to run! I hate, hate, hate it. I have horrible posture, a…

Week 4- whew!
I have been doing C25k since about October and I love it, but it's been stop-start with me, and I repeat weeks, go slow, etc. Today I started week 4 for the 1st time...OMG. I took it slow, but man, it was challenging. I was like, WTH?!?!? during my 5 minute stretches. Then when I was done, wow...the endorphins were flowing…

In need of supportive MFP runners.
Hello, everyone! I've been walking/jogging, but mostly walking, 5 miles a day recently. I would like to incorporate more jogging/running, so here I am. I'm hoping to gain a few friends who can keep me motivated, and maybe one day I'll be able to run a 5K!! Thanks for reading!

Week 1
After having a super sore knee the last time I was going to start up on C25K program, I held off a few more weeks. I finally went and got myself fitted for a pair of running shoes a few weeks ago. After I purchased them, it was another week before I had enough nerve to try to start running on the treadmill. For whatever…

I apologize if this has been asked already but...
How are you all logging your C25K workouts into MFP? Or are you using a secondary app? What works best for the intervals? Thanks!!!

Cross Training
Anyone doing other work outs to supplement the C25K program? I'm interested in shaking things up a little, and interested to hear what people do.

Anyone can tell me effects on large men?
I want to try the program, but how will I fare being 300 lbs? Will I be able to run a full 5k in 9 weeks like it suggests?

Rib Dimples?
I've done some Google searches on this, but all I can find is information on rib deformities, and that's definitely not my concern! I'm on Week 3 Day 3 (took just over a week off for some knee pain and a mini vacation...) and I've noticed that aside from a pleasantly rounder bum, I've gotten some 'dimples' (is that a good…

Today's 5K run
My mom and I ran the 5K route that we will be running in again on March 2nd today. It was VERY hilly and that was a big difference than my normal treadmill run so I'm glad we got out and did the run before the actual race. I ended up having to walk some of it because of the hills and some painful leg cramps but I'm happy…

The I can't do it feeling
Hi all, I need a lot of motivation. I did week 7 day 2 today (5k runner). Both day 1 and day 2 were 20 mins runs with 5 mins warm up and cool down. I didn't feel exhausted or pain but I felt like I just have to stop after about 15-16 mins. I just could not do it. I had to push myself through it. I did it but I kept…

Looking for C25K second timers
I'm starting C25K for the second time in February 2014 to shave some time off my personal best (43 min...snail like) and for a consistent workout (accountability). So, who's with me???? Let's do this!

Got my first 5K in
Ran my first 5K this past Saturday, not ideal weather 34 with some wind. It was a very hilly course and I finished in 35:14, not very fast but I did it. Training for 10K has already begun. This is addictive.

5 k Race for Life in July 2014
Hi there - I am going to sign up for Race for Life in July and am hoping to use C25k to get me there. Tried it a couple of years ago but bottled after about 3 weeks :embarassed: Ended up walking most of my last R4L. Anyone planning to start within the next week or so? I really need to get myself in gear and nail it this…

Advice welcome - training
So will try not be to verbose here - started training for my first 5k on the 18th January and I really haven't been following the couch to 5k program. I've been just following what my body tells me I can handle, So far I haven't regretted it but think maybe I'm taking the long way there or perhaps there are better methods…

I recently invested in a basic treadmill that unfortunately doeant have an incline but is better than nothing!! now i have no excuse! i started…
