Repeating W4
Hi All, I just finished W4D3... Although I did much better than W4 D1 & D2, I think there is still need for consistent improvement. That is I had to take a 30-45 sec. walk between the 5min runs. Do you think I should repeat W4 before going to W5 or will I be able to do W5 D1 ? ~ Sam

C25K Beginner
Hi, I just started the C25K program and today I finished Week 1 Day 3. I was wondering if this walk / run on treadmill is ok or its recommended to be done outdoors only?
