C25K Start (again)
I'm looking at beginning the C25K program (retry). Does anyone have any tips on the best way to start? Track, treadmill, road? Would it matter how the walk/run combo occurs, i.e. switching between the three? I like mixing up my routines, so don't always use the same tools and exercises.

Start ing C25K
Haven't ran since High School (Freshman or Sophomore year, 10 to 12 years ago) I downloaded an iPhone app but I am hesitant to start because of the temperature here in rural Alaska warmed up lots to 20 degrees :bigsmile: YES 20 degrees is warm in Alaska when spring comes around. I was wondering if I should order "sweats"…

Putting C25K on hold
Here's the deal, I bought Insanity like 2 years ago. Then, I started the program only to stop a few days into it. This is sad, but we were living in a very old house with wooden floors, and I was afraid I was going to damage the structure of the house with all the jumping around (true story).:blushing: But, now I live in a…

Week 4?s eek
So im starting week 4 tonight, how was it for you? I'm a wee bit nervous about the 5min runs however for the past week I have been doing my run and than doing a 10min "fun run" that the app has also and I can run for 10mins so I guess I should be to scared of it right? What was your experience? How about time are you…

Where y'all at?
Is everyone still at it? Not a lot of posting going on in this group lately. I finished week 5 day 2 today. I feel great. I was worried about the 8 minute runs on this day, but I made it through without too much trouble. Now, I'm nervous about the 20 minute run coming up next time, but I feel sure I can do it. I'm getting…

Sopsongbird's Week 1 Thoughts
I completed W1D3 today and can honestly say that I can feel a difference! My breathing has become more controlled and my energy to continue jogging has increased. I was able to raise the mph on the treadmill from 4.0 to 4.5 and the walking from 3.0 to 3.3. I have a pain in my left foot that I know is caused by an…

water?
So, I'm on week 7; and I'm finding that I am SO parched during my runs. Today it got to the point where I was really nauseated and had to stop a minute and a half early. I'm going to try hydrating better throughout the day because I read that for distances under 5k water isn't necessary, but I felt so miserable today that…

Running/walking during a 5k run
This may seem like a dumb question, but frankly, I'm totally clueless as to the "rules" of a 5k run. :smile: :embarassed: I'm tempted to sign up for a run that is on August 5th, however I'm only going to be starting week 6 of the C25K, and I don't know if I'm going to be up for running that distance at that time. Is it…

W6D2 quitter :-(
W6D2 quitter :-( a quitter today. I breezed through the 20 minute run last week. Now tonight I had to quit with 3 and a half minutes left of a ten minute run. How come some days seem so much harder?

I'm back, sorry for the neglect my loves
Sorry for not being around the group much lately, last week I re started week 3 day 1 and than over extended a muscle and had to sit the whole week out. I re did my week 3 again with some slower results but after my week 3 day 1 run was complete I did one of the "fun runs" they have on the app. I ran for 10mins straight!!…

Just Beginning
Hey all! I joined MFP a few months ago, but started tracking last week. Lost 10lbs! Water weight? Probably. Still excited? OH YES!!! I have a back story that explains why I want to run. In April 2011, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. I was 23 (24 now). I went through chemotherapy only and was placed into remission…

week 4
I am having a TERRIBLE time this week! Every run up until now has been very, very doable. Challenging, but not nearly to the point where I need to stop. But this week has just been killer. I finished day 2 this evening, but I had to take a couple of extra short walking breaks. I'll give myself one more shot, but unless it…

Week 5!
This is it, y'all! :drinker: If you're using the same variation of C25K as me, this is the week with the first substantial run. I had a ton of difficulty with week 4, so much so that I almost repeated it. Just for kicks, I gave day 1 of week 5 a try this morning... and I ROCKED it! All of the the 5 minute runs were so easy…

Anyone signed up for an "official" 5K run?
I just signed up for a 5K in my neighborhood on Sept. 8. I'll be finished the 9 week training by then so I should be good to go. I also have a 10K penciled in on my calendar on Nov. 4. Anyone else have a 5K date circled on their calendar?

Not been running at all...
this is because in the past week I've been having trouble just walking. I can't believe how unfit I have let myself become. I feel like I've let this group down and just wanted to apologise as I have joined a running group and have not been running, and that's not very supportive at all! On a happy note, I have been trying…

Mini Goals- Tell us yours :-)
I thought I would post a thread for some mini goals, once you've reached one quote yourself and update your goal. I was looking at my weight loss in a whole and started feeling a little overwhelmed but setting mini goals (scale or non scale) can really help. I mixed in scale and non scale goals in no specific order.. whats…

Sore hips

Yes, I do the warm up and cool down...no I'm not running especially fast (approx 9 min kilometre), yes, I stretch after, and my…
