Virtual 5K for C25K grads
I missed the first virtual 5K that I was going to do, so I want to do another one. Also, I think that we should have a virtual 5K once a month. Hopefully, it will be the C25K graduates' first 5K! I'm thinking about having the first one this week just because I want to get it done before November. But, I'm willing to change…

Running pain, increasing mileage
I’ve been running for a little over two months. I ran four miles one time two weeks ago and then ran nine miles yesterday. I was in a lot of pain after the last run and the next day (today). I had been doing a little strength training earlier the day that I ran, so that was probably part of the problem. I have read that…

I just finished C25K. How can I go from running 5 mph to a faster speed throughout the entire run (30 minutes for example)? If you used C25K, please tell me what your speed/pace was when you finished the program, how long it took you to get X speed/pace, and how you got there. Thanks.

App that lets you create intervals & alert when below pace
Hi. I'm looking for an app that will let me create my own intervals, but it should also have some type of alert if I'm not at a certain pace/speed for each interval. For instance, I want the following intervals: 6 mph for 30 seconds (If I'm below 6 mph during this interval, there should be an alarm/alert) 5 mph for 30…

Restless Leg Syndrome
Anyone have it? When do you notice it, at night, after a day of working out? How do you get rid of it? I have to keep shaking the bottom of my legs and turn the AC on. I normally get this at night. I don't think that it's ever happened in the daytime.

How long until the pain from bike riding goes away?
How long until the pain from bike riding goes away? I rode for about 8 minutes around 11 a.m., and lowered the seat so that it wasn't painful. But, at 8 p.m., when I was getting ready to ride again, it was hard to sit down, but I shifted around a bit to find a more comfortable position. It was still uncomfortable, though.…

When did you feel a sense of accomplishment?
When did you feel a sense of accomplishment? I felt it during the 3 and 5-minute runs a little, but the big moment for me was definitely W5D3 during the 20-minute run. I think that everything will be a breeze from here. I can't believe that last wk, I was struggling during the last parts of the five-minute runs, and now,…

Is it difficult to start your 2nd run after walking?
Do you find it difficult to start your 2nd long run after walking? I find that it's easier to just run for 20 mins than it is to run for 5 minutes, then take a 3-minute break, and try to run again for 8 minutes. Anyone else experience this?

Recommendations for strength training at home
Hi, guys. I'm 215 pounds and 5 ft 8 or 9. I don't feel like going to a gym, so I want to try this at home right now. I have some weights; four 7.5 lb and four 2.5 lb.

How do you gain weight after urinating?
I don't get it. I weighed myself this morning and was at 216.2 or 216.4. I went to urinate right after I got off the scale. I weighed myself afterwards, and was 216.8. About an hr later, I weighed myself (just out of curiosity. I swear I'm not obsessed). I weighed 215.6. I lost a pound just by browsing MFP. Went to urinate…

Do you run w diff parts of your body when you're tired?
When I feel my calves burning, I find that I try to stop them from burning by running with my thighs or just lifting them more instead of using my lower legs. Does that make sense? Do you all do that, too to prevent yourself from tiring out?
