Yeah those look comfy!

I looked at a pair of Nikes and I like the colors and style they have but a friend told me they weren't really good for running. Thank you for your post! I might get the Nikes I looked at.

This post will be helpful in a couple months! Thank you!

This is such an awesome post!!!

My shins used to be sore around the beginning also. I just ran slower and applied my heating pad to them after running. Hope it gets better!

I know I need to be patient lol. Thank you for your advise! I'm so happy I could run that 20 mins I feel like I can conquer the world. haha

Completed Week 5 today, just finished Day 3 right now. Whew I made it!!! I didn't stop once. I am so surprised I could run the whole 20 mins, as I have never ran that long in my life haha. I only went 1.39 miles though, so I went super slow. I really really want to improve my speed but not burn myself out. I managed to run…

- Run a 5k - Lose 35lbs - Maintain that weight - Do more hiking, snowboarding, camping, and paddle boarding - More adventure/travel

I'm not sure lol. I just started reading and am still in the first chapter.

Hahaha I saw it had many good reviews so I figured why not give it a shot? But Somethings he said don't make much sense.

Okay, completed Week 5 Day 1 today. I gotta say I spanked it and thought it was so thrilling and feeling like I could run loner but I figured I better not push it. haha I couldn't believe I completed today with no problems. I didn't stop once during the running sessions. I was able to run at a bit of a faster pace also,…

Thank you for your advise! Yeah I was really self-conscious about my speed when I first started. Sometimes I feel that since I run so slow, I might as well be walking. :/ But I'll keep pushing through it! Thank you!

Thank you so much for the advise! I will definitely keep this in mind for those weeks.

Ok so I ran at a 3mph speed, and it made all the difference! I was able to run the whole time without stopping. Thank you!

Ok so I've become stuck at Week 4. I just can't overcome the 2nd session of 5 mins running without stopping, plus I just came down with the flu or something so that doesn't help. I already run slow (3.5 on my treadmill) but I still have to stop for a few seconds during the 2nd portion of running. Any suggestions? I want to…

Well, I've always had a larger rear end. My weight accumulates in my upper thighs and bum. Since I've started C25K, I've noticed my bum has less cellulite, but is more firm and less round, just wide as usual... I've heard mixed stories from people about squats and whether it improves your butt. Some one said it made their…

Oh my goodness I love lentils this looks so good! Your recipes here look so yummy!!! Good idea!

Thank you thank you thank you for your advise! Any help is good! I love soup! What kinds of soups do you make? I love creamed spinach soup!

So I'm on week 4 now. All I can say is I can't believe I was able to run the 5 mins....wow haha I think I might be running too fast (even thought I'm sure 3.7 on the treadmill is super slow) because by the 2nd 5 min period I feel very tired. Day 1 I did take a few seconds extra rest walk. Day 2 I got a cramp in my second 5…

Thank you for your experience story! That is really motivational for me and I think I need to get better sleep, considering I've only been getting 6.5-7 hours a night.

Thank you SuelnAz! I appreciate the advice. I'm hoping in not just scaring myself for week 4, knowing that there is a 5 min run. I'm just scared I won't be able to complete a 5 min run since I am having trouble with the 3 min run.

Ok so last week I didn't get to do a week of C25K because I was on vacation. I'm starting my third week of week 3 today because I still feel that the 3mins of running is difficult and am trying to get to the point where it feels like a cake walk before I move on. Is it bad to repeat a week more than once? Will that hinder…

Thank you!!

Thank you for the words of encouragement! You're experience is really encouraging.

That's awesome to hear!!!! And same here I've always wanted to become a runner. Some people make it seem so easy and effortless. Good luck!

Ok so I completed Week 3 today. Holy cow. The last 3 mins of running are so rough and make me so tired. Also my legs feel like they are ready to fall off. Is this normal? I plan on repeating this week next week if possible, because I'm gonna be very busy with work, school, and i'm going out of town on the weekend. Anyways,…

Yeah, now that I'm at week 3 I'm thinking 3 days a week is good/do-able! I should try lifting, but I only have 5lbs weights :( I was thinking of doing some barre workouts every other day. Yeah the running is relaxing in a way, because it makes me more focused. Yeah during winter months, I'm glad I have a treadmill. It's…

Yes! My period just ended and I weigh less on my period for some reason. I'm assuming because my body is losing fluid. I completely agree about the thighs! The outside of my thighs are more toned, whereas the inner thigh (my problem areas) are not as toned. Yes I've seen a big difference in my hips. Also, it will get…

Ohhh! Yeah that definitely makes sense. I know I shouldn't compare myself to others, but it just makes me wonder how others can loose X amount of weight in a month, where as others lose inches at first.

Woah haven't posted in a while. Did Week 2 twice, it wasn't so bad. This week, yesterday actually I started Week 3/ Day 1. This week is completely different than Week 2, holy cow. 3 minutes of running straight was tough, but I am so excited because I did run for the full 3 minutes each! Before I could never ever do that!…
