  • I hate running on the treadmill because I get too focused on the numbers and don't listen to my body. If the weather where you are is decent I would suggest running outside. Run at a pace that is comfortable but still challenging. Speed will come with time. Pushing yourself too hard just to meet a number that's in your…

  • Snow. Snow. Snow. Haven't started W2 yet. We'e been getting blasted with snow all week here in New England. More snow on Thursday too.

  • I just do it based on time and effort level. I'm a slow runner. I know that. I don't even think about trying to maintain the 10min/mile pace the plan suggests. I just run a pace that's comfortable and challenging enough for me. Even if I only run 2.5 miles instead of 3.
    in Anyone doing c25k distance instead of time? Comment by jkeyes87 February 2015
  • I thought about that for the earlier weeks. The last time I did c25k I was in less shape and needed the extra running day. I haven't fully decided what to do. Maybe I'll make it a long run and keep the W1 schedule but go longer. Thanks for the tip!

  • Ok so hubby didn't feel well enough to go dancing tonight so I went for a night run instead. I remembered to bundle up a little more this time and my phone cooperated the entire time! 2.28 miles done! Technically that was D3 for me this week but I actually like 4 run days/week better than 3 so I'll probably do D3 over…

  • I agree with Ceci about pace. Personally I'm a slow runner (I've only broken a sub-10min mile twice in my life) so at the end of C25K I wasn't running 3 mi in 30 min. But I could run 5K non-stop and eventually worked my way up to 10K. Also last time I completed C25K, I had to add an extra running day per week because I…

  • Day 2 was yesterday. Brought my dog along for the run. It was cold! 17*F! Also my phone died right after I started the cooldown. Maybe one of these times my phone will record my whole workout.

  • How was your run, Joe?
    in 2/1 - Week One Comment by jkeyes87 February 2015
  • I admit I forgot to turn on MapMyRun until about 1/3 of the way through my workout on Sunday. So it now says I went 1.45 mi instead of probably closer to 1.9. Oh well, as you said all that matters was that it was done. :smile:

  • I go through so much data/battery on my phone with each run. Gotta have my Pandora to rock out to, MapMyRun to track my progress, and C25K Free to keep my eyes on the road and not at the clock. -Jennifer

  • Wooo! How'd it go Kelly?
    in 2/1 - Week One Comment by jkeyes87 February 2015
  • So I ended up doing W1D1 on Sunday due to the snow storm that came through New England yesterday. Lyssa, personally I like mapmyrun for GPS tracking. I'm sure there are better paid applications out there but for what I need it works plus it's free. Planning to do D2 today assuming the weather cooperates! -Jennifer

  • Hi Lyssa! As C25K is a 3x/week program, my first running day will actually be Monday. It's just easier to count the weeks starting Sunday :smile: Either way you decide, hope you stick around!

  • Hi Sarah, I'm Jennifer. I had my first little one in October and I am just getting back into the workout scene. I've been doing BODYPUMP for a week now and will be starting C25K next week. I had great success with both a few years ago so I'm excited to get back into it. Equally excited to get back to my prepregnancy weight…

  • I love 30 day shred. One of the few workout videos where I've seen actual improvement in such a short time. I tried it for a couple days before the holidays but I don't think my body was quite ready for it yet. Still getting used to getting up early for work but hopefully I can pick it back up again soon ETA: I also like…

  • Hi! FTM here. Just started going back to work this week. Trying to eat healthier to get back to prepregnancy weight (and lower preferably). My little princess will be 3 months old on Monday
