I found from the first time I did this program that if I couldn't do the assigned intervals to just slow my pace. At first I was a bit discouraged but really it's about endurance. Speed work can come later!

Hi! My name is Laura. I'm originally from Chicago but live in Zambia, Africa (although in Florida for the most part when I am in the States) for the past 11 years doing missions work in rural villages. I almost completed the full C25K program in March and did a 5k (running and walking) but then stopped. Just started up…

Please feel free to add me. Looking for friends on the same journey!

I have the book but haven't started it yet. Please let me know if you're going to do a group study with it. I'd love to join!

Good luck! I just restarted this week as well!!

I've used the app on coolrunning.com before and liked it. I just restarted the C25K and have been manually entering the interval times in runkeeper.

I did it! I took your advice and slowed way down. Made it through all the of intervals!! Counting it as day 1 for the set since I didn't make it through on the other runs.... those were just my warm ups. ;-) Thanks for the help, everyone!

I had mine out 5 years or so ago. I never saw a difference in weight loss or anything. The only thing I've noticed is that if I skip breakfast, my stomach will get upset when I eat lunch.

Stick to the 3 days and then do strength training other days. I've been looking up body weight exercises for runners to start incorporating into my schedule. there's a ton of info out there!

Correction: I'm on week 4! Thanks so much for the advice. Yeah I think slowing down is the right thing to do. I'd rather try that first then repeat weeks. I've done this program a few times but never actually finished it. I'm determined this time to see it through.

I'm starting it tomorrow! I've done the program in the past but never made it to the end. I'm determined to see this one through!

I just started Insanity a few days ago! How have you been doing with it?

I just started it as well! It's hard and my calves are killing me but I love it! :)
