Oh dear, week 6 is going to be a 2 week process I think. I struggled with week 6 day 2 today - couldn't do the second 10 minutes. Walked it, but that is not the gig is it! I came home this evening and had another go of it, but just did the first 10 minute run. I will keep at it, and won't move up or give up till I can do…

Haven't been running this week yet, but at the gym with my trainer -- thursday or Friday. good luck
-
Non-running day for me. Good luck
-
Finally did the 2 x 10 minute run - on my app is week 6, day 1. I never thought I could do the second 10minute run, but I did it!! Ya-hoo! feeling great, though very tired. It helped to have this group to egg me on. Thanks!!

30 day shred - nothing to be sneezed at! Having read the stuff abut 'fast exercise' I think the 'intervals' in shred conform entirely! I will do my run this afternoon.
-
Mel, 20 minutes -- that is fantastic! I am afraid I lam a bit spooked by the 20 minute block -- I am working my way up to x2 10 minutes this week . Week 6 in my app has that before the 20 minute run. Hope your little one is fine. Kim and Mel I think you're both bloody marvellous for running at all in that weather! I will…

Spotify- now that is something that I have to try. On my way home from soccer refereeing I will get my son to sort on my mobile!

Not a running day for me, but i did a spin class for the first time. when I finished I jumped on the treadmill because I wanted to try myself out on the 10 minute run that I know features in week 6. Did it fine -- well, I mean I made it by saying just get to the end of this song, just do another minute, just see if you can…

Great - any particular tracks? I have a funny playlist that I have put together that has anything from the new Happy, to born to run, stones' brown sugar' and triple j's 2013 top 20! so it is a little idiosyncratic!! I am always in the mood for a new playlist!

Fantastic! Finally did it. Ran the Week 5, day 3 run. It was my third attempt, but I don't care, just wanted to do it. Good luck, runners
-
No running today, but well done all -- especially the week 5 people. You will inspire me for my next run.
-
Aaah. Week 5 is tricking me!!! So I have been at day 3 for 3 days now. It is 2 x 8 min blocks, with 3 min walk. I haven't been able to do the second 8 min run twice now. I am making better time -- tonight I did 8 and 6, and the night before it was 8 and 5. This is all indoor running on the treadmill. (making it a bit more…

My week five day 3 is proving a big challenge for me. I had a second go of it this evening, and will have another crack on Wednesday. It is 8 min, 3min walk, and then 8 min run. I have done 8r, 3w, 3r, and then this evening did 8r,3w, 5r -- so I guess I am getting there! I do not - no, let me rephrase that: I will not give…
-
Yeah! signed off week 5, day 2 run. I was so avoiding it and then had made up my mind that i couldn't start the week-end without having a go. It is a bit of a jump, and feels pretty intimidating -- eight minute run as a big block. But I did it, and I have to say it was fine!! . It made me trust the program more -- that I…
-
non-running for me also. Did some training and looking forward to either Thursday or Friday for my next run
-
I did it -- got spooked yesterday by week 5, day 1 where it is 5,6,5 minute run and couldn't do the final 5. Today, I did it. took the speed down, allowed myself the chance that to just take it as it comes and go as long as I could.... Thanks for getting us on here together. It helps to have someone / a group to report to.
-
Didn"t run today, but my partner mapped a run for me on map my run to 4k (which is what I get to on the treadmill to the week 4 schedule) and I am going to try it tomorrow. Well done on everyone here.
-
Well done everyone. Finished a crazy week at work, and instead of thinking - oh no, now I have to go to the gym I tried to talk it up in my head as something to look forward to so that I could ace it ...... So, Yeah, did week four, day 3 -- my big fear is the 5 minute run, but it is fine. I love this group and it helps me…
-
Week 4 day 2 -- I realised that the day 2 of week four they bump up to five minutes compared to 4 minute runs.... you were all my incentive for the last minute because I didn't want to write that i did well, but walked the last minute --- so i staggered along (on the treadmill), no running tomorrow -- but gym in the…

hello, so glad someone started a group. Count me in!! Does it matter if we are at different weeks? I live in Sydney, Australia. I have been back at the gym, fasting, etc for the last seven weeks and now want to add running into my schedule --'I am one of those I hate running' people, but want to give this a good go. I am…

PS I have heard that one of the downsides to both running and swimming is that it does make people very hungry ....

PS I have heard that one of the downsides to both running and swimming is that it does make people very hungry .... And I was sure hanging out for dinner tonight

Hello all - very inspiring to read this. I am about 10k overweight and have lost 6kgs so far by exercise, fasting and giving up alcohol.... But now for running - which has been something I've been a bit scared of because whenever I've tried previously I've just hated it. This time I am really following the c25k mantra -…
-
Thanks for posting your question, because it was my question also after doing week 4, day 1 of couch to 5k. All day it had been on my mind that I was scared of the 4 minute blocks and that I would hate it and not do it. (And that was on the tread, not as tough as outside!). But I made it, and I am looking forward to…

me too. would love some friends as there are some things I just don't get with the exercise input etc. count me in

I am just doing some set poses - as well as some leg stretches. Happy to rattle them off here. There are a So some great apps that can help M

I do Iyengar Yoga and have done for the last 7years. I try and do it x2 per week, with my regular teacher, Linda. At first I thought she was a bit harsh and, to be honest, I also kinda liked that too, because whenever I had another teacher she didn't push me as much as Linda. I used to do Yoga not because I loved it, but…
