Hi all, I'm new to this but I just started running this year and completed C25K in February. My goal for March will be 40 miles running. I also want to have a goal of at least 10 additional miles of walking but not sure if that's part of this challenge or not. Good luck everyone! P.S. I'm looking for motivated new running…

Yes, I started in January and finished in February. You can do this! Post your progress and we'll cheer you on

Race postponed for March 9. With an extra two weeks to train, Now I can run it 4 minutes faster!

I do both but so really have enjoyed outdoor running this year. I am fortunate that outdoor high temperatures have been 32-60F the last two months. I use the treadmill on rainy or cold days but I only listen to music so it gets boring staring at the same wall

Well crud, I haven't registered for this Saturday's 5K but it's showing 38 degrees with 100% chance of rain and thunderstorms. I'm ready for the 5k but I I'm not ready for running in rain or a storm. I'm going to have to skip this race and either hope they postpone it or just wait for a future race in March or April.

Finished C25K a week ago and yesterday ran a new distance PR of 3.63 miles (plus another 0.6 miles walking)

Good one amgreenwell! I’m right around you kirstyfoy. On my 3+ mile runs I’m averaging 13.5 minute miles but on my 2 mile runs I’m about a 12 minute mile. So I think if we keep it up for a few months we’ll really see improvements. I got myself a valentine’s day present. 😍 Actually two of them - a pair of Asics and a pair…

For someone going too fast I would recommend a heart rate monitor to help pace yourself. Another idea is to count your cadence (steps per minute) and try to find a running playlist with songs with a specific beats per minute (like 180)

Yes, today I went back out and purposely ran slower and watched heart rate on Fitbit. I slowed down when I got above 90% of MHR. I was able to run the full 3.1 miles plus a little bit more. There's a lot of rain in the upcoming forecast but I hope to get a few more longer runs in and maybe drop a couple minutes before race…

I graduated today W8D3 by running 32 minutes straight. I wanted to go a full 3 miles but ran out of energy with less than a half mile to go. Now I know what to work on before upcoming 5K on the 23rd

I built a PC for my son just before Christmas using parts ordered online from Newegg and amazon. I found good deals on slickdeals and spent around $800. It was definitely high-bling too. See through glass case with Light up motherboard, AMD Ryzen 7 with colorful light up fan, 16GB light up RAM, Samsung 500GB SSD, and EVGA…

I got a crazy urge this morning as there's a 5K coming up in my town on Sat. Feb 23, which gives me 2.5 weeks to prepare. So I think I'm going to push to 30 minutes Wed & Fri and then go for a full 5K by the end of next week. Also bonus - I asked my daughter if she would run too and she said yes (her first 5K). She said…

Run a 5K in 11 days

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. C25K week 1 days 1,2,3 are all the same workout. So you're repeating three days with a rest day in between. However, if due to weather or temperatures you think Mon/Tues/Thurs will work better than Mon/Wed/Fri then go for it. A mandatory rest day probably won't matter much until you…

After a weekend rest today I found an old pair of Mizuno shoes in my closet that still have quite a bit of support. I wore them today for W7D2. My legs felt less sore and stiff running on the asphalt and I also improved my 2-mile timed distance. I will keep wearing them for W7D3 and all of week 8 and hope my heel improves.…

Currently on W7D1 and still going strong!

I've been skipping ahead a little bit. After the W5D3 20-minute run, I jumped straight to a 22-minute run and then a 26-minute run. So I'm essentially at W7D1 now. I will probably follow up with one more 25-min run and then jump to 28-min and 30-min next week. One slight issue... I feel a slight pain in my right heel. This…

Today is 60 degrees (F) and will be much colder the rest of the week. So today was the day. I started up Week 5 Day 3, put on some good tunes, and went. I didn't look at the time but when I heard "you are halfway" I knew I still had 10 minutes left for running. I checked my fitbit heart rate and was way too high and slowed…

Woot! But did your dog make it 5k?

I just hit week 5. However, I know that W5D3 is the 20 minute run. So I looked at it and thought 15 minutes total of running isn't enough. So I skipped ahead to the W6D1 workout and did run 5, walk 3, run 8, walk 3, run 5. That 8 minute run was tough but I did it - and it was the longest run I've done in 5 years. Progress!

Way to go!

I hope you don't mind me commenting on my journey in your thread, but otherwise this group seems pretty dead lately. I bought new running shoes last year but didn't put many miles on them. So I started new on Dec 31 with the Zenlabs C25K app (8 weeks). I have a treadmill but I live in the southern US so I tell myself I can…

Is W9D3 the last day of the NHS app? So the only thing left is to run an actual 5k distance of course ;) If you add in the 5 minute warmup and cooldown that's some pretty serious distance - around 3.4 miles I'm guessing

I just started running again and I'm now on Week 4 of C25K. Good luck!

@futmom Which app are you using? I have the C25K by Zen Labs app (Orange icon) on iPhone. I haven't tried sync yet but can give it a try. In other strangeness, in the MFP app if I enter an exercise as Cardio, then search for C25K Week 2 and enter the minutes, it tries to add but doesn't really add it to my diary. So I've…

I've always felt like the W5D3 20 minute jog is a real milestone in this program. So personally I would wait until after week 6. Once you know you can do the 20,25 and 28 minute jogs, then doing 30-40 for a real 5K should be no different.
