Graduated C210K (5 Miles?)
I'm happy to report that I "graduated" C210K tonight. It felt SO good to run an hour straight but at the end I was only at 5 miles not 6.2. Guess it's time to work on speed. Does anyone have advice about how to train and gain speed after finally making it through the hour run?

Today's 5K run
My mom and I ran the 5K route that we will be running in again on March 2nd today. It was VERY hilly and that was a big difference than my normal treadmill run so I'm glad we got out and did the run before the actual race. I ended up having to walk some of it because of the hills and some painful leg cramps but I'm happy…

I can't lose weight!!
So I hired a personal trainer about 3 months ago and I work out 3-5 days a week and track my calories but I'm not losing weight. Depending on the day I keep losing the same 5lbs over and over and can't brake under 200. I don't understand what's wrong with me. I'm running and doing weight training/crossfit type of training.…

Running 3 days in a row?
Is it bad to do a week 3 days straight? I've never done it before but I finished week 4 on Monday and start week 5 today. If my back can handle it I'd like to finish off the week by Friday before the weekend. What is everyone thoughts on this? My back hurts because I did an intense crossfit workout after my run on Monday.…

Running 3 days in a row?
I finished Week 4 on Monday and am moving onto Week 5 today. My question is would it be a bad idea to run the whole week in 3 days? I usually have some rest days in between but I'm going to have a pretty busy weekend and I'm worried I won't run. I'm also still sore in my back from my crazy crossfit workout on Monday so I'm…

I think I have to quit.. :(
Today was day 7 of my shred journey and I hurt my knee somehow during the jump rope move on day 4.

I'm wondering if my joints are still soft…

C25K Training - Week 4.. Tell me it get's easier!
I finished my first week 4 training today and nearly died during it. I'm happy that I made it through the whole workout but running for 5 minutes straight was much harder than I expected.
