W1D2
Well, I was so excited to get up and do W1D2- bought a HRM last night to get an accurate reading of calories burned- and wouldn't you know it was RAINING!! :sad: I could have gone to our Rec Center- but it was too late to get ready to go and drive there, work out, and make it home in time to get ready for work! :angry:…

W3 Day1 of C25K
Tonight I did W3D1, and I felt great the first 3 minute jog was hard but the last two were pretty good and I feel great. I am looking forward to doing it on Thursday.

Legs or lungs?
Which gives out on you first? When I get to the end of my workout, my lungs feel great, I'm barely breathing hard. My legs feel like jelly, and I can barely walk.

Cramps/Stitiches
How do you prevent/cure them?

W3 started today....
And I thought I was going to die after the second 3 minute run! UGH! And I'm signed up to run a 5K in 6 weeks? ACK!!

Ran out of steam... and it's my own fault!
Since discovering the joys of C25K I've been getting a bit gung-ho, adding in an extra day here and there then skipping up to the next level a day or two early. It was all going so well until I decided to do Week 3 Day 2 today. I'd done Week 3 Day 1 yesterday and felt in such a good mood (and it wasn't raining outside).…

Wk4 Day 1 - Quite a jump!
This is my first post on MFP, so... HI! :bigsmile: I just did Week 4 Day 1 today, and WOW it feels like quite a jump from week 3! Did anyone else feel like this was a huge shock? I made it, but I had to slow down some. I'm pretty slow anyway, but the podcasts I listen to keep telling me that I have to stay slow while I…

Today was my day of W5D3.....
And I DID IT!! I was nervous, but I got up at 5:30am and just went out and went for it. I did find it difficult though, about half way through my breathing became rapid, so I told myself to relax my body a bit and try to focus on tightening my core (seems to help me) I got my breathing back under control and finished it. I…

C25K Journey
Well it all comes to fruition today! Did the C25K program earlier this year and today is my first ever official 5K race :) Hard to believe I came from someone who has hated running all his life ( except away from bullies ) to actually trying a race.

I'm having problems.
When I first started Cto5k, it was great. Some days were harder than others, but I always got positive feedback from the challenge (endorphins, sense of accomplishment, increased endurance). And I was committed to taking it slow...perfectly content to spend 2 weeks on "a week". However. I have now been doing week 2 for 2…

Anyone from NY?
I live in the Hudson Valley and would really love to pair up with someone to do a 5K!

What do you eat?
Just trying to get an idea for my 5k in 6 weeks....what do you eat before a long run? This run is at 6:30 at night, so I'll have all day to prep (and dred...LOL). But I've heard about carbo-loading, etc, but seeing as how this is only 3 miles, is that really necessary? I don't want to feel bogged down, but I want to be…

First Day
Just did c25k w1d1 today and it was tough but i did it...Now just have to work on a better music playlist because its easier to walk/job to really high energy tunes :)

I must be mad?
I did my first day of C25k yesterday. I treated myself to a new pair of running shoes and a good sports bra. I weigh 227 lbs so quite a big girl and quite unfit so took my son with me who runs for his school. Well I had a few problems with the app working and my hrm but I managed it. At first i could not jog even ten…

Running technique is making it so much easier !!
Been playing around with the Chi Running techniques and man do they make a HUGE difference, almost seems effortless and my lower back and shin pain was non existant. I have been trying to run a full mile without stopping for 5 months now, finally achieved it today. Just wanted to share because we are all struggling here…

Starting tomorrow...
Title pretty much says it all. I've been walking 7-8 months and now just getting into jogging. Ive been told even though I have jogged on and off for the past month I still should do C25K to get my body warmed up to the idea of jogging. Any advice or suggestions before I start?
-
Ready to start tomorrow!
I downloaded an app for C25k last week and was all ready to start but it has been raining like mad here so I didn't. I then read a 'one piece of advice' thread for beginners and nearly everyone said to get proper running shoes so I am happy to say I went and bought some today! I also got a long sleeved running top, in case…

Anyone starting this month (June 2012)?
I am! Will hopefully do my first day tomorrow (Thursday) and I'm finishing up insanity too! going to be my last few workouts of insanity and I want to step into something new. This is exactly what I'm looking for. Who else wants to start in June?

finally
Finally did w1d2 today. Almost killed myself but I did it. Outside as well. Way harder than on the tredmill but I think I will keep doing it this way. Felt way more alive :-)

W2D3...pushed myself
Just finished W2D3 and am proud to say I pushed myself. Was supposed to do 6-90 second runs. I ended up doing 1-90 second, 3-2 minute, and 1-3 minute run. Thought I was going to die after the 3 minute run but I did it. So woo hoo! :)

W2D2- small victories
Well, W2D2 is in the books! Couple small victories today! 1st- I have been using our indoor track at the rec center I belong to. W2D1 I noticed that I could make one lap around the middle lane on one 90 sec run - well today I actually made it FARTHER- not by much, but it was definitely MORE than one lap around the middle…

Hello everyone!
New to the group and actually, this is the first group I've joined! I think I might need some advice with this one! I'm on W2 D2 and running at 6 mph (treadmill). Worried how successful I will be when 90 seconds goes to 2 mins- finding it tough already! Glad to have found you!

week 9 - haven't lost weight, but clothes looser. . . .
I know this makes sense, building muscle and losing fat, but would love to hear from anyone with similar experiences! :sad:
-
starting tomorrow
I have decided to finally give this a try. I want to run and this is the most recomended program to use. I wouldn't mind having someone to discuss it with. So is there anyone else in this group that is just starting out with W1D1? or close to it?

When & Where do you run?
Do you have specific days or times that you run (or do c25k)? And where do you run?

Anyone trying to run more than 3 days a week?
I have a girlfriend who runs 5 days a week. Naturally the pounds are just melting off. She swears by it too and loves it. I run/plan to run 3 days a week. I am afraid to run more....but I sure am considering it. Is anyone else running more than 3 days a week and how is that going for you?

Just finished week 5 day 3
I just wanted to post and say: Yeahhhhh I did it!!!!! That is all.

Scared to move on
Hello, I just have a question for everyone. I have completed C25K up to week three, and I was due to start week 4 on Tuesday. After looking at the expectations for week 4, I got freaked out and now It's Thursday and I still have yet to start week 4. I didn't struggle with week 3, so I'm not really sure why I haven't moved…
