  • This is my 2nd time (okay, who's kidding, this is like my 10th time) doing C25K. I did finish it in 2018 and felt so proud of myself. I'm back at it again and just finished W5D2 this morning. And I am actually looking forward to W5D3. I live in Wisconsin in the country so my runs are on the treadmill. It's getting a little…

  • I have the Vivoactive HR and love it. I chose it because of the ability to track multiple disciplines (like riding horse, snowshoeing, etc) and because it was water proof. I've worn it daily for about 1.5 years now. I also own an older Garmin 310xt which I used for tracking my horse's heart rate while I condition (I wear…

  • I'm on week 8 of C25K! Remember to really stretch afterwards (I watch youtube videos on 'after running stretches". Perhaps do yoga on your off days, too. This will help you avoid foot pain or other injuries. I had to take a short break and admittedly haven't done enough stretching. A tight calf can manifest into achilles…
