Hello all, I just completed w6d1 today :) I completed c25k last summer but had to stop running due to health issues :( I just started again at w5d1. Hoping I can continue running this time and do a 5k this summer :D

That sounds really good. Thanks for sharing :)

When I started in January 2013 and a few weeks ago. Still have more to go tho

Been a while since I've posted in this thread but I'm pleased to say I've completed the c25k free program. I had a bit of a break after I completed it but I've started running again. I'm working on my pace right now cause I was pretty slow lol. I ran 4.44k this morning in 36:15 minutes. The last time I did 5k it took me 49…

Vancouver(Surrey) here!!

I used Runtastic which also syncs to MFP. I set it for walking until I was running more then walking, then i set it to running. Now I use a HRM to log my exercises. Good luck with the program it's great =)

Just look at my pic from January. If that didn't do it for me nothing would have.

I did W7D2 today but I didn't follow the program this time. I started the app and ran the entire time, through both 5 minute walks for a total run time of 36 minutes. I'm feeling really good about it. I just need to work on my pace so I can hit the 5k mark within 30 minutes. Today was 4.07km in 36 minutes so I have a bit…

@nisijam5 yes it did lol I finished W7D1 this morning =) Again I was able to run the 5 minute cool down plus and extra minute. So that makes it a 31 minute nonstop run. My calf felt good. I gave it a good stretch before and after. Now I want to work on my pace. I managed to knock off 20 seconds from my last run but I still…

Thanks for the tips everyone =) It was still a touch tight today so I didn't go for my usual walk between runs today. @melissaol I've never heard of that rolling pin one before lol I didn't try it this time but if it acts up tomorrow I will give it a shot. @nisijam5 No the icy hot patch didn't do anything. I stretched it…

I think I over did it this afternoon =( My left calf is extremely tight and it hurts like hell to walk. I've got an icy hot patch on it now so I'm hoping it will get better. I keep forgetting to say this but feel free to add me if you want. I'm almost done but I'm really thinking of doing the 10k one next. I'm really…

I completed W6D3 today plus I was able to do extra running. I did the 5 min warm up walk and ran the 22 minutes and buy the time I got the 1 minute left message I was feeling really good so I ended up running through the 5 minute cool down walk then I walked for 2 minutes and ran for another 3 minutes to my front door.…

Had it last night, was good!

Went for 2 days in a row this week. Feeling it now lol. W6D2 complete!!

Well I ran 2 days in a row for the first time this morning. The second half was slower then the first half, according to the Runtastic stats. I didn't feel as tired running as I thought I would have but now that I've been home for an hour my knees and calf's are feeling it. Anyway W6D2 is now in the books =)

That's awesome! You will have no troubles doing this. Sounds like you would find the C210K more of a challenge? I'm thinking of doing that after I finish the C25K since I'm enjoying it so much.

By the end of week 5 you'll be doing a 20 minute run. I thought the same thing, no way can I do that, but I was able to do it. Just stick with it and you will be able to do it as well =)

Do whatever your body can handle. I just finished W6D1 of C25k this morning and I'm loving it. I'm currently running on M W F and walking T T S and resting on Sunday but since I felt so good after today's run I'm thinking of doing W6D2 tomorrow but i don't know yet lol.

W6D1 complete this morning =) Keep at it everyone.

Looks very yummy!! Going to try this for dinner tonight I think =)

230lbs when I started and I'm now 221 and I just finished week 6 day 1 this morning =)

W5D3 complete!! If you would have said to me in week one that I'd be running non-stop for 20 minutes by the end of week 5 i would have laughed and said no way. Well I just did it =) Keep at it everyone.

W5D2 complete today!! Still quite worried about D3. 20 minutes is quite the jump from a 8 minute run. @highervibes I wish I had some answers for you but I'm all new to this too. I did go running with my Dad last week in the Bog on gravel trails and I found it really hurt my hips, uneven ground. He runs down there all time…

W5D1 completed this morning =) @emzilee I'm worried about that day too lol. It sure seems like quite a jump to me.

W4D3 complete today. A little worried about week 5 tho. It seems to make quite a jump that I don't think I'm ready for. I may just end up repeating week 4, I'm not sure yet.

I'm using C25k Free and enjoy it.

I'm really worried about that last day in week 5. It's seems to be quite a jump to a 20 minute run from 8 and 5 minute runs.

You are almost done, that's awesome!! I completed W4D2 today =)

That's awesome!! I'm on W4D2 tomorrow, halfway there =)
