Apps after C25K
Hello everyone! I finished my C25K earlier this week and I tried a few apps based on suggestions. Here is my opinion for anyone else trying to make the transition after the Zen Labs C25K. Easy 5K (the Jeff Galloway app) - I didn't like this app very much. I am a slow runner and the Galloway app started my pace much faster…

Need techie help w/Kindle apps?
I am still running on the treadmill most days. I usually download tv shows from the previous week and watch them while I run. It really makes the time fly by and I enjoy it, but I've lost some of the structure on my intervals. I just run until I'm tired and then walk for a while. I'd like to go back to using something like…

Finished my first virtual 5k
I finished my first virtual 5k and I'm not sure how I feel. There are some really great things that I accomplished. I actually did a run/walk combo of 3.25 miles - my furthest distance. I stuck with it and made it to the end. At this point, I don't have any injuries. I have some lessons learned. I included my 5 minute warm…

REDEMPTION!!! Dominated W7D1!
I posted yesterday about my W7D1 attempt. I went back at it today and I OWNED it! It wasn't exactly easy but it wasn't painfully hard either. The last two minutes I had to repeat a mantra to get me through, but I made it! You guys were right. I just needed to try it again and have a little confidence in myself. W7D2 here I…

W8D2 - Outside - What?!
Hello Fellow C25Kers! In honor of MegsMiles, I got a babysitter and did my W8D2 today. It is a beautiful day and I had time, so I decided to try my run outside in the park. I fully anticipated getting about 3 minutes down before I had to walk. Guess what happened. Go ahead. Guess. I'll wait... I ran almost the entire 28…

Treadmill to Outdoors?
I need some feedback. I am set to finish C25K in less than 2 weeks. I have a program that I am planning to use afterwards - 5K Forever. I've done my entire C25K - Zen Labs on the treadmill. After I'm done, would you: A) Use the new 5K Forever program and alternate treadmill and outdoors (weather restrictions - snow and ice…

Registered for my 1st 5k!
I did it. I just registered for my first 5k! It is virtual and I can run it any time between Feb 1 and Feb 14th. That will be right around the time I finish my C25K program! I decided to go virtual so I can get the first one under my belt without some of the anxiety of doing it with a ton of other people. (I'm not good in…

Song that got me through...
Today's song that brought it home was "The Devil Went Down to GA". Oh yeah.

Had my first really bad run. :(
It was bound to happen but I feel tremendously defeated. I wasn't even supposed to run today. I was supposed to go to my karate class. My instructor had a sub and I just wasn't feeling it. I decided I would go for a run instead. I was looking forward to W7D1. I got in my winter gear and took the walk in the snow over to…

Colorado Groupon
I'm not sure if I am allowed to post this here, but there is a $40 for $20 Groupon for Runners Roost. I don't know if this is specific to the Colorado locations, but it seems like a good deal. (I am in no way affiliated with either Groupon or Runners Roost, but I like me a good deal when I see one!)

Pace for the Vertically Challenged?
Hi All, I've been lurking for a while and finally am coming out of hiding to ask a question. I am doing the ZenLabs C25K with my iPhone and a treadmill. I just finished W6D2. I have tried C25K before but never gotten this far, so I do feel a bit of accomplishment. I have lost over 60 lbs and completed two 60-mile walks for…

Not working :(
I've fallen victim to the bad hardware curse. I'm switching over to the Fitbit Flex and hope that I have more luck. Good luck to everyone!

My allergy test results
It would be faster to list what WON'T cause an allergic reaction. *sarcasm* I'm getting a brand new epi pen and a Flonase prescription. Today is the official Day One of my new "method of eating". I'm allergic to anything that comes out of the water excluding clams (which I don't care for), chicken, corn, hops, wheat, sage,…

Log workout in Up or MFP?
Good morning everyone, Do you log your workouts in MFP or Up? Do you find there is a difference? I do 90 minutes of martial arts training twice a week. I have been logging it in MFP but it isn't showing in my Up app. I logged the workout in my Up app yesterday and now I have a -837 calorie reading in MFP. Any ideas?…

I'm stuck in my head :(
Question for you all: Is it more important to you to be healthy/fit or to see the numbers go down on the scale? I ask because I am working out and all my bloodwork from my physical came out great. I can do more push-ups than most of the guys in my class. However, I am hung up on the numbers on the scale that haven't really…
