It gets better. My legs actually feel better after about the 7 minute mark of the longer runs. Go figure!

I guess it depends on where you run. If you run on the road, it's for sure rougher than the treadmill. If you can run on a dirt track designed for running then it's a little easier on the joints. Maybe your going to fast or maybe you need an extra day in between runs in the first few weeks. If you can't finish a day, no…

Great job!!! You may need that extra day rest once in a while, listen to your body and don't give up. The further you go into C25K, the better that asthma will get! Keep it up!
-
Thanks! Good luck with that 5K! The speed will surely come with your improved endurance. Devil Canyon setting does not sound fun though!
-
Maybe slow down a bit. At first it seems like a glorified shuffle rather than running. Don't give up. If you have to, keep doing week 3 until you feel comfortable moving on. That's better than quitting.

On MFP or another site?

Week 6 Day 3 tonight! I can't run until 8pm tonight though. I never run that late, I hope I have enough energy.
-
Nice job! Funny how around the 7-10 minute mark the legs stop hurting and you get into it. I start Week 6 tomorrow!
-
Yeah, this is my third time starting. I will finish this time! Make it happen!
-
Don't get discouraged, it gets easier trust me!
-
Well we are right in sync, I have W6 D1 on Friday! Don't worry about D3, after the first 10 min it's good. I definitely want to do a 5K or two this summer, maybe even a mud run or obstacle course.
-
Same here, I could not run in the cold so I switched to the elliptical over the winter. Started back from the beginning though, just skipped ahead if I felt good enough. Your right, we can only get better!
-
Great to see I'm not alone in my C25K journey! It definitely gets easier as you go. I never thought I'd be able to run 20 min nonstop, but I did it and can't wait to go 30 min and more. If I haven't already, I will send requests to you all.
