What do you eat....
before and after running? Since I'm getting up at 5 am to run, I don't really eat anything before. However, I'd love some ideas (preferrably low cal) of what to eat afterwards. I typically eat breakfast at work around 8:30-ish...but definately need something before then if I workout in the mornings! This morning I had a…

Bra question
I want to start running. I made the mistake of jogging in my regular bra and injured myself (two months ago). I know that I need a good sports bra, however this isn't an option at the moment. I wear a 40HH. I have to make a two hour trip to get bras. I have tried ordering on-line before and not had good luck with getting a…

How do I log exercise?
How do I log exercise for this? If I am doing walking and running per instructed. I am sure I am burning more calories then adding walking total and running total separately.

week repeater?
Is there anyone else out there who routinely repeats weeks? I have found that 1 week (3 days running / week) never feels like enough time. I've done C25k about 6 times (that's a different story, I'll fill you in if anyone's interested), and it never fails that when I try to switch weeks on the 4th run, it always goes…

headphones for running
I'm just started my journey, w1d1, this morning(I'm beat!). And I spent the entire time fighting with my headphones, they kept slipping! Any advice on what kind I should get or how I can keep them from slipping? I'm broke right now so I don't want to spend too much but I'm not giving up because of stupid headphones either!…

took a break...freaked out to start again...
So.... I got to W7D2 and have taken about a week and a half off (work activites, bday, social stuff, and some pain in my shins all attributed). I tried a run outside last Friday and it didn't go that well- I tried the outside running on W6D1 knowing that it would be tough on me being outside rather than on the treadmill.…

What am I doing wrong?
I'm on week 4 of C25K (distance) with the goal of running a 5k on July 21. Monday I had a great run. I was able to complete all of the run intervals. Wednesday was okay. I got part way through the 2nd 1/4 mile run and was just so hot I couldn't run anymore. Today...I'm completely discouraged. I ran the first 1/4 mile…

Not going as far?
Hey folks, I just completed W3D3 this morning and I have noticed something... I am not going as far this week as I was the last 2! I run the same route each time, and this week I've gone a block less (at least) than previous weeks. I use the "Run 5K" app on my iPod so when it tells me I'm halfway, I turn around and head…

7th day/new week or two days off?
Hi everyone, I am new to this board and love the motivation on it! I am curious about how all of you handle the 7th day of each week. Do you take two days off, or start in on the next week? I've been just starting the next week and it seems okay, but since I am only on week 4 it might get harder...is there a "right" way to…

C25K App?
Hello All! I have an LG800G phone through Tracfone and was wondering if anyone knew of an app I can download for C25K? I don't think I can use any of the iPhone or Android apps, so I'm looking for just a generic one that I can download. Any thoughts? Thanks all!

c25k graduates- come here!
When did you notice that your speed was improving? Towards the end of the program, or after you completed? I'm in week 7 and I feel like I'm soooo slllloooww.... lol I know that speed will come as I keep running, but it doesn't seem to be improving yet.

Should I continue with C25K?
I started the program on May 9th, not from "couch" exactly but I've never been a runner and so I always figured it would take me forever to complete. I just finished Week 2 and was hoping to move on to Week 3 today. Well, yesterday I went to go run outside and I ended up running for 35 minutes straight, which turned out to…

Diet plan?
Hello! I'm currently on week 5....and it's going fine, but my eating has really gotten out of control lately and I know that is hampering my running, and definitely derailing my weight loss goal. Can anyone tell me if you've found a good diet plan that accompanies the running plan? I need something to curb the cravings…

Breathing
Any other new runners who have struggled with their breathing? I just can't get a regular breathing pattern down. I'm wrapping up week 7 of the program tonight, and I'm focusing way too much on my breathing. I'm completing the runs with no problems, and as soon as I start my cool-down walks, my breathing returns right to…

Joint issues?
Does anyone that has done this program or is doing this program have any joint issues? I'd like to hear your stories if you do. I'm really itching to run (I've always wanted to, and would really like to finally start). However, not sure if it's the best choice for me. I'm in discussion with docs and such, but am curious to…

First time running!
Hi all! I should say that running makes me really nervous. I have crappy knees, probably from carrying an extra 40lbs around with me for years. I lost all the weight about 3 years ago and I'm a lot happier now. My fitness routine is boxing or kickboxing for an hour every days or so, and it's really an amazing workout. I'm…

I don't understand week 6
It feels like going backwards. I conquered the 20 minute run in week 5 (I actually ran 21 minutes, 2.3 miles) so to go back to having walking breaks feels like going backwards? Should I stick to it or move onto week 7?

How do you train? Treadmill or Outdoors?
I normally run on a treadmill, mainly to keep a consistent pace. But also there is no nearby location to run that is safe - busy roads, no shoulder. If you train on a treadmill, is there anything that you do to transition to asphalt for races? Thanks for your input!
