I live in North Aurora, IL! You guys feel free to add me :)

Hi guys, feel free to add me :smile: 10 lbs lost, 30 more to go!

Week 7 day 1 done. I was able to cover 2.5 mi in 28 minutes so not too bad :smile:

Week 6 finished. I struggled to run for the whole 2.25mi (I always have a hard time running at a decent pace with no breaks after lifting session) but I ran 1 mile, walked .25 mi and ran another 1.25 mi. Better than nothing :wink:

W5D1 today. It felt good to run outdoor again. Good job everyone! :smile:

I've been doing other kinds of cardio lately, instead of C25K, but I am back on track now :smile: W4D2 done.

I'm 5'9", currently 170lbs as well and I eat anywhere from 1700 to 1900 calories (never less than 1700 though, as my BMR is around 1600) :wink: Lost 20lbs so far, and want to lose another 20 :smile:

20lbs lost, about 20 more to go :smile: 5'9" SW 190 CW 170

20lbs lost, 20 more to go :smile: 5'9" SW 190 CW 170

W3D1 finished :smile:

I got my M400 a few days ago :) I love it so far. Feel free to follow: https://flow.polar.com/training/profiles/24908671

W2D3 finished :smile:

W2D2 finished. I wasn't planning on doing it today but I got to the gym and just felt like running lol :smile:

W2D1 complete!

Feel free to add me :smile:

Agree, 1200 is way too low, even for somebody who doesn't work out at all. I'd starve myself at 1200 :smile: Now that I think about it, I've actually started my weight loss eating only 1200 net. I've lost a few pounds and after 2-3 weeks my weight loss stopped. I increased the amount of calories and I started losing weight…

And W1D3 done. Feeling good about my intervals speed (4.2mph/6mph) :smile:

You look AMAZING!

W1D2 done :smile:

Good job y'all! I've been trying to run longer and longer distance, been doing 5.5 mi runs recently and I just gave up. It's so boring, I can't do this anymore! LOL I have no problem running for 30-40 min and I really enjoy it but more than 60 min is just too much. So I decided I was gonna do C25K again, but this time I'm…

Polish girl here, living in northern Illinois. Feel free do add me guys!

You're all doing an amazing job. Keep it up y'all :smile: Since I finished C25K I've been training for 10K, but not using any app/program; just adding some more distance every week. I also run only 2 times a week now, focusing on lifting more. But I am getting there - today I ran 5.27mi in 1:04:00. No walking at all, just…

Dont worry, you'll get it. Just give yourself a time :) I tried it today too. I made it but I ran a lot slower than I thought I would. After yesterday's running failure I didn't feel like I had a good workout (I wanted to run 5k, barely ran 2 miles and decided to call it a day; I guess it was one of those bad runs that…

Congrats everybody! You all keep it up! I ran my 3.1mi a few times now. The best time so far was yesterday - 36:59min. And my 5k run is next Saturday! I feel sooo not ready!

Welcome! You'll do just fine. When I first started the program almost 8 weeks ago I had same thoughts, I didn't think I could run for more than 1 minute at a time. And last Friday I ran my first full 3.1 mi :)

For the first time ever, I ran 3.1 mi, no walking. And I managed to stay under 12min/mi. 2 months ago I hated running and I wasnt able to run for even 1 min straight. So proud of myself :smile:

W7d2 done. Was planning on running 2.5 mi, but then I felt I could run some more and so I decided to try to run full 5k. And I did, no walking at all. And stayed under 12 min/mi. I am really proud of myself, considering that 7 weeks ago running for 60 sec was a challenge for me :wink:

Week 4 day 2 SQ 2x5 @ 45lbs, 5x5 @ 75lbs OHP 5x5 @ 45lbs DL 1x5 110lbs, it sucked though, it really did :neutral: Barbell curls 2x8 @ 35lbs Seated calf raises 2x8 @ 50lbs Captain's chair leg raise 2x8 And 45 min elliptical.

W7D1 done. 2.5 mi in 29 min, but man, it was a tough run. I had to walk two times, for about 1-2 min. Well, I think the reason is that I am really sore from yesterday's lifting, plus I ended up eating too little that day. Looking forward to running again on Friday though :smiley:
