  • I graduated C25K program on December 27th but at the same time I hurt my hip. I guess it it bursitis. I rested for 2 weeks and last Friday and yesterday again I ran 3.1 miles for the first time in my life. I still can't believe it. I am slow, of course, but speed hopefully will improve over time. The hip is still causing a…

  • This morning I finished W8D2. Phew... I was a little bit faster thank the run before but still slow... I am still way under 3.1 miles, but love the feeling that I can run 28 minutes without stopping. I can't believe there are 4 runs left and I will graduate the program! Yes, dear friends, this program really works.. Just…

  • This morning I finished W6D3. I use Active C25K app in combination with Robert Ullrey's podcast and realized that the app run is 22 minutes and the podcast is for 25 minutes. So I just kept going for another 3 minutes. This makes me feel good about the runs next week but wish I could do something about the speed. During…

  • This morning I just finished W6D2 and still can't believe I will dare to run 25 minutes on Wednesday. I need to lose 100lb and I do feel that excess weight every day I run. I started the program on October 10 and repeated several days because I didn't feel ready to move on. You will feel (physically and mentally) when you…

  • This morning I ran W4D2. I repeated W3 since I was struggling with running 3 minutes at a time and was scared I could not go up to 5 minutes. I took it slow and it was not as bad as I expected to run 5 minutes. I don't know if it was rather mental motivation to repeat W3 or I really physically needed. Anyhow I feel more…

  • Yesterday I went across town and got fitted for running shoes. My dear MFP friends, what a difference!! When the consultant asked me to run for a little bit with the fitted shoes, I could not believe the difference! Since I had no idea what kind of shoes I needed, I would have never picked these by myself. Can't wait to…

  • Thank you so much for the supporting comments. Today I repeated W1D1 and surprisingly went better. I do need to get fitted for running shoes though. I start to experience calf and shin pain.

  • Hi, I am new to MFP and C25K program. I just finished W1D3 yesterday and feel like I should repeat at least one day from week 1. The last run I tried to be a little bit faster (due to the amount of weight I have to lose not an easy task :( ) and had a very hard time to finish. Despite all of this 'fast running' I only…

  • Hi, I just finished W1D3 but I think I should repeat at least one day from W1. Please add me to keep motivating each other. I think I am way too slow and when I tried to be faster (W1D3) i was near exhaustion. :(
