I second slowing down. Though I'm not on the C25K program, I was running 5K about 3x/week and out of nowhere I couldn't finish them anymore, was having a lot of trouble breathing. I took some advice to slow down (went from 9 min/mile to 10 min/mile). It has helped me get out of my slump and I'm able to finish the 5Ks again.

I've run after having a glass of wine and run after having a couple of beers. The wine gave me the surge of energy you described but the beer gave me a side stitch and the urge to vomit. :-)

I started it yesterday. I feel it more in my legs than in my abs unfortunately, same with my fiance. But it was a good workout so I'll stick with it.

I am starting it again today. I am not looking forward to the next 3 days of soreness, but hopefully now that I've changed my eating habits, I'll see better results!
