I think i have average hunger on run days but once I've actually done my run i don't eat for ages it's like once I've exercised it suppresses my appetite for some hours after wards but then it kicks back in :P Don't worry about week 4, i thought it was going to be extremely difficult but it's nowhere near as hard as i…

Did W4D2 today, seemed a little harder than the first run this week but I figure it's just my week catching up with me and even though it can get a little challenging I always end up completing each run which makes me feel amazing as each run on my iPhone gets ticked off :happy: Once again everyone is doing a fantastic…

Well done!! Keep going, you can do it!:flowerforyou:

Did W4D1 today and I feel so pumped up, the five minute runs weren't that hard at all! I have so much energy and feel so good and I now feel like yes I can definitely finish this 9 week program I can do this:happy: On the first few weeks I found myself thinking oh god when will this be over for each run that I did because…

Wow congrats to everyone for the awesome progress you're all making!! Keep up the good work :happy: Did W3D3 today and it seemed easier than the first run I did this week. I did it in my new running shoes and oh my it felt like I was running on marshmallows, i :heart: you new shoes :) Bit worried about next week for the…

Welcome to the thread Acria! Don't worry as long as you remember not to go too fast you can do it :)

That's awesome that you have a 5k planned! You'll be able to show off to your coworkers by then just how good a runner you are :) Welcome to the thread!!

I'm not sure if all treadmills have the same levels everywhere or not but certainly don't feel discouraged from your workout, it's not how fast you go it's more making sure that you can do the times that are set out! Like i said i had to take my running level down 2 levels because it was too much for me and thanks :)

;o thanks!! I wonder if treadmill's in each country all have the same levels then?(I'm in Australia) Or maybe i'm a little bit more fit than i thought because level 6 is like a brisk walk for me.. but i could only do level 10 for the first two weeks, week three and i'm down to 8. I was so jealous of the guy next to me when…

Wow like always everyone seems to be doing amazing, keep up the good work!! Did W3D1 yesterday and found that I had to turn down the speed that I was doing my running, since week 1 i've been going at level 6 for walking and level 10 for running but for the 3 min runs i found it too fast so had to turn it down to 8 - 8.5…

Don't worry i found stepping it up a bit harder than the previous week! You can do it though just keep pushing through :smile:

Thanks :) Yeah i can't wait to go get some new shoes i'm actually really excited :love: That's good to hear about it seeming easier, i always peek ahead at the weeks and think oh god i hope i'll be able to do that! Don't worry you can do week 5 you're already doing so well :) Starting week three in two days, hope i can…

Welcome :smile: If you have so much trouble with the radio maybe (if you have it) you could use mp3 player on your phone, I like to mix heaps of songs to keep me going and just shuffle them. Good luck!

That's no good :ohwell: but it's good to rest it up and get it better rather than making it worse! Hope you feel better soon :flowerforyou: Did W2D3 today and my week is definitely catching up with me i'm so tired and sore I had to push myself to keep going at the gym today but I did it and felt good that I had completed…

Don't worry sounds like you are going great, you can do it! Everyone else is doing an amazing job too well done guys!:wink: Did W2D2 today and it seemed a bit easier than W2D1 just hoping i'll be able to do next week when it goes from 90 second runs to 3 mins :indifferent:

Great job! It's good to hear how everyone else is doing along the way and gives me hope that i'm not going to pass out from running so much haha :laugh:

I'm exactly the same! I picture how well i'll be able to run at the end and when it starts getting hard I think okay if i wuss out and don't finish this i'll have to post on here that I couldn't finish my run... so all of you are my motivation to keep on going :) I think i'm realizing just how unfit I am though because I…

Wow it sounds like everyone is doing really well! I just finished W1 D3 today and have found that it was a lot easier than my first run in the program. Can't wait to start week two next week!! loveme445 - that would be great i'd love to have people join me :) i'm already looking forward to doing the bridge to 10k and i…

Hey, yay finally a couch25k topic where people are all in about week 1 :) I'm doing W1 D3 tomorrow and can't wait I'm so excited for the end result of being able to run for so long. I myself am using the iPhone app for the couch25k program and it's really awesome, you can play your own music and it gives you lots of voice…

ljc1057 - Thanks! I just did W1 D1 today, it was a bit harder than i thought it would be, I was a bit puffed and was finding it a bit hard to push through but I did it so I'm glad that I didn't just give in and blow it off. Can't wait to do W1 D2 and hoping that it will slowly get easier :P

Starting this program on Monday and can't wait!! I used to run and win ribbons in primary school but once i got to high school i stopped so i'm looking forward to being able to run again and can't wait for week 1 day 1 :)

Wow you're very dedicated! I want to be able to exercise that much myself, you're inspiring :)
