C25K on the treadmill
Does anyone else do their workouts indoors? My neighborhood is not safe at night, so on workdays I have to do it at the gym. On weekends, when I can run outside, I find It is easier. Probably because it's more varied. To those of you who do it indoors, how do you ensure you are getting the best run in you can without…

I survived Week 5, Day 3!!!
It’s taken me about 10 weeks to finally get here, but I did it! And I didn’t feel like I was going to die! I only covered 1.75 miles, not the 2 the program expected, but I’m ecstatic. And I’m choosing to place part of the blame on my 26” inseam. Lol. I feel like I can do anything now! My “reach” goal is to run a 30 minute…

What do you do on off days?
I'm using Zombie Run C25k, and you only use the app 3 times a week. On my off days I'll hike, walk, lift weights, or just "rest" (do housework). I was just curious about what others do on rest days.

7 Days of Rain and No Treadmill/Gym
Hello everyone! I’m a newbie to this app (Dec ‘17) and group. I’ve been working on the ZenLabs C25k program since mid-December. It took me more than a month to get through the first two weeks of the program, but I’ve been comfortably progressing for a few weeks now. I did the Week 4, Day 2 workout yesterday and was shocked…

Lacking Motivation, what do I do?
I completed the c25k program 1.8 times (had a non running-related injury that caused me to do a mini reset), started the b210k program, ran a 5k last weekend, but I'm really lacking motivation to run. It's hard for me to get up in the morning and step out the door. Today I was supposed to do 4.2 in the b210k program, and I…

So many PB's
Well i went out with a goal in mind and i smashed it. Since it was week 5 day 3 I knew that with the 20 minutes non stop running I was a big chance to beat my PB on a strava segment that I run. Also, when the c25k workout is complete, I push it out with more intervals until I reach 5km. These are my PB's according to…

Treadmill training and other newbie questions.
Hi everyone! Newbie here and have a few questions if you don't mind. I've read through most of the Sticky topics and have a question about using the treadmill. It's flippin' cold here in Wisconsin and starting to run/walk when it is below 0 doesn't sound appealing to me, so I'm trying to start in a gym on a treadmill. I…

Week 5 then week 6 transition - huh??
Week 5 Run three: a brisk five-minute walk, then 20 minutes of running, with no walking. Then Week 6 Run one: a brisk five-minute walk, then five minutes of running, three minutes of walking, eight minutes of running, three minutes of walking and five minutes of running. It looks weird to go from a straight 20 minute run…

How to increase my pace
I'm on w8d1 of c25k. I'm doing it on my treadmill. I'm 46 and overweight (down 27.5lbs though!) I'm a really slow runner. I walk at 3.0 and run at 3.5. I'd like to work on my pace once I complete the program. I'm wondering if I should: 1) redo the program with increased speeds or 2) Keep running 30-40 mins and increase my…

So anyway, my question is what if anything should I be doing to get ready to start running? I don’t run now. Haven’t ran in years. Like before…

Reality of actual 5K Race Anxiety?
I have completed C25K TWICE. The first time I did it mostly on treadmill as I started in late winter. I found when I went outside I struggled despite being able to do each week/day on the treadmill. I did the entire program again only outside. Now my issue is different. At the park I usually go to I can complete the final…

C25K and strength training
Hey all, I've decided to do C25K and it's exciting because I've never run before. I also want to strength train 2 times per week: Day 1 = front squats & chin-ups. Day 2 = deadlifts & dips. If I did C25K on mon/wed/fri, would doing the strength days on tue/thu be best? The other option could be creating a 3 day strength…

What to do with my phone whilst running?!
I'm five weeks in, and did have it in a pocket of a waterproof, but now it's warming up and I'm in a t shirt I'm not sure what to do (my jogging bottoms don't have pockets). Do the arm band things really work (my phone is quite big)? I would appreciate knowing how everyone else manages, thank you!

Help syncing app with mfp
Hi everyone, newbie here starting C25k on Saturday. I have the zenlabs app downloaded which is supposed to sync with mfp but can't seem to do it. The tab at the bottom right on c25k just has a blank screen when I click on it so if it's that tab you use to connect it then it's useless! Would I be better getting the paid…

Chronic fibromyalgia pain and exercise
Since 2003 I've lost 56 pounds and it has helped my symptoms a LOT. Unfortunately I still deal with debilitating chronic pain and find it hard to get out of bed some days. How do any of you deal with the disappointment of not being able to exercise in those days? Are there alternative work outs I don't know about? My main…

My mind tells me no but my body tells me yes!
Hello! I am noob, obese, unfit "runner" and I have just managed to finish week4. My biggest problem is not my body (although I gasp for air sometimes or my feet getting sore the next day) but my mind. Thinking that there is no way to complete that 5mins jog or that I am too tired or that this is too boring etc. Despite…

from the weights room to the road
Hi, I'm looking for advice on getting fit enough to do a race for life event for cancer research in September. I am a regular weight lifter, I train 6 days a week, so I'm not completely unfit, but lifting isn't the same as running. I will be doing a 5k run with obstacle course... Any advice on how to train for this would…

Hi everyone, I'm in week eight and running 5k and WO seeing what to do next! Due to time constraints I can't yet commit to 5 to 10k training as the sessions are longer, so I was thinking about concentrating on building up the speed of my 5k.

Week 4 outside, Week 5 on treadmill
I've been slowly starting to do C25, but now that the weather is getting better I hope to run outside 3 days a week. I'm up to Week 5 (5-6-5 min) on the treadmill, but running outside is so much harder for me. Today I did the 3-4-4-3 intervals and it was really tough. Almost didn't make it. When you get to this point, how…

Rejoining program after shin splints
Hi folks! Looking for some advice. I've been following C25k since the new year. Two weeks ago I got shin pain during a run and have been taking a rest from running since then. The pain never got severe and has now cleared up, though I'm still needing plenty of stretching for tightness in my shins. I'm hoping to start…

Speed or Resistance
Hello everyone, I just have few quick question that I need to ask. First let me tell you that I enrolled to officially run my first 5K in July 4th, which gives me plenty of time to train a little more.
