I have about 80. I'll lose some, and then gain it back. Would love more accountability partners.

I'm in.

I used the Zen Labs app. Week 4 (all three days) was warm-up walk, jog 3 mins, walk 90 secs, jog 5 mins, walk 2.5 mins, jog 3 mins, walk 90 secs, jog 5 mins, cool-down. Slow down. A lot of people, myself included, have to slow down as the runs get longer. Focus on your breathing. I spent my first few weeks focusing on…

Tech shirts make a huge difference. But don't limit the anti-wicking fabrics to your shirt. I have stay-dry sport socks for running and had to get different undergarments. NO COTTON. Cotton leads to chaffing. Not fun. I was out for days thanks to cotton.

I have too. :blush: I'm a turtle. It'll take me that hour of running just to complete my 5K. OK, probably not that long. But I'm currently at 1.8-1.9 miles, including warm-up and cool-down.

Finished W6D3 yesterday. I'm going by time, and not by distance. Completed the 22 minute run. My calves were hurting towards the end, but I reminded myself that I had completed a 20 minute run before, and this was only two more minutes. I finished without walking.

I dropped distance when I ran longer. I run slower with the longer jogs. I figure my speed eventually will catch up.

Completed W6D2 today at my turtle pace. No more intervals until B210K.

Finished W5D3 last night. I was a bit intimidated with it, but I told myself it was mostly mental. Went slow and steady through it, and I ran the whole 20 minutes! It's amazing. I was struggling to go one minute when I started. I am, however, getting pain on the top of my feet/front of my ankle. Any suggestions?

1. What do you do after C25K? Personally, I will not be finishing 5K in 30 minutes. At my current speed, it'll be 50ish minutes. I'm not sure if I should focus on running longer to get the distance down or run the same time and work on speed. I was thinking endurance first and then work on speed. 2. Any tips for W5D3? I'm…

Yes, as @bigroastdinner said, it's in the Golden Ticket thread. 5 extra credit points for logging food this week.

Added yesterday's minutes to the spreadsheet. We have already recorded 47.4% of the week's minutes in the first three days, and not everyone has recorded them yet. We are killing the active miles!

Got out of bed and did 30 minutes of weight training today. Finished Day 23 of the 27 Day Squat Challenge, did the arms challenge for today, and had Greek yogurt.

Speed doesn't matter. You are building endurance. I was doing 4.5 mph during Week 3. I slowed down to 3.8 starting Week 4.

I did W4D1 of C25K today, day 22 of the 27 Day Squat Challenge, and did the first day of the arm challenge. Had Greek yogurt for breakfast.

Finished W4D1 this morning. That was a rough one. I slowed down my speed and kept my breathing under control. However, the second 5-minute run was tough. I kept telling myself I had already ran it once; I could do it again. I did. I finished it, but about 30 seconds before it ended, I started getting light-headed. Finished…

@mallowbar Can we modify the challenge as necessary? For example, my wrist is bad, and I cannot do dips. Could I do an alternate tricep exercise such as extensions or over-the-head raises? And wall push-ups instead of regular?

Finished Week 3 yesterday! My 5-year-old came out to run with me. I ran slower than usual since he was with me, and I didn't have problems with my breathing. (Sinus infection is gone, thank goodness.) I think I'm going to slow down all my runs until my breathing is better. Since my son is 5, we played run/walk tag while…

Should be smiphette. Found it on the spreadsheet. Could not find justmeisha.

I sent friend requests to everyone on our team. Couldn't find two of them: justmeisha & smiphelte

I'm Cassie. No ideas on team name.

Do you have the Charge HR? If so, when you begin exercising, hold down the button. It will start a timer. Then, hold it down again when finished to stop.

Personal preference, honestly. I have the Charge HR (heart rate). I like being able to track my heart rate. I'm really interested in the Alta. It comes out later this month. You can change the bands. The blush leather looks really cute (and more professional) and would be better for my sensitive skin.

Finished W3R2 today.

1. Workout three times. 1 workout down this morning. 2. Log everything. 3. Stay in calories.

Finished W3R2 today. Breathing was better than my last run, but still labored.

I'm Cassie. I'm 29. I have a 5-year-old and an almost 2-year-old. Trying to lose weight and get fit.
