Had to stop in the end of W2 because I ran with a sore knee, thought it was part of it. Result, 2 weeks without even being able to walk or climb stairs properly, it hurt even when turning in bed. I have a doctors' appointment tomorrow to check it - not hurting anymore, but now I am scared of running again and damaging my…

I am supposed to start w3 tomorrow, but the last day of W2 left me with a lot of pain on the knees...it's been 2 days and it's still hurting. :/

Yup, I am doing alternate days only. My hips hurt so much after every session that even if i wanted to do every day, I wouldn't be able to. :p

You were right! I did W2D1 today instead of repeating W1 and survived! Thanks for the encouragement, I don't think I'd have tried if you didn't say so. :D It wasn't easy, but felt better than what i felt doing W1D1, where I thought I'd need an oxigen mask. :) I had a flat tire, so decided to do it on a park near my home…

W1D3. Was supposed to do yesterday, but came dead tired from work and gave up. Today I brought my shoes to work so I had no excuse! It rained but i went anyway...also, I work near a beaaaautiful park, so it was nice. Went way better than last time! I felt extremely tired, but not gasping for air after the running parts,…

Just did W1 day 2. Felt way worse than the 1st day at the start, was about to give up; dunno if it was because I was tired from work and before dinner, whatever. The stupid windows phone app also paused whenever i played music, grrr! After I finally gave up on the music and just kept a really low rythym, i managed to do…

I am an terribly unfit, complete couch potato. I barely made day 1, and my legs are hurting horribly...today is day 2, but I am still hurting so much that I am dreading it. :p I also don't think i'll make it to week 2 just with 3 sessions of w1, it is really hard. I never ran in my life, as weird as it sounds. I think the…

A noob question 0=) You're supposed to do 1 day interval between the training, or is it random 3 days during a week? Does anyone do more than 3 times a week or will it make me feel too tired and give up?

Just did w1 d1. I thought i was gonna die. Served as a reality shock on how sedentary I am - the first minute of running was complete hell, and in the last one i wasn't running anymore, I was throwing my body around somehow. Wow. My hips hurt. :p 1h and a shower later I feel good though. Let's see how this goes. :)

Just googled couch to 5k, color me interested. will start today and see how it goes, thanks :)

How do you start running? I feel I can walk all day long, but the moment I try running, it's like my lungs are trying to run away from my throat. Yesterday my boyfriend encouraged me to jog in the middle of our walk, and i think i only lasted 10 to 15 seconds. I did 3 "sprints" like that, and although it was fun, i felt…
