Help! I hit a wall in C25K @ W5D3!!
So, I've been going through the C25K Program (treadmill version) for 4.5 weeks, gradually working my way up to being able to run at least 5.0 mph consistently.

C25K: Finishing before 9 weeks??
OK, so ever since I had to re-do Week 5 after dying on Day3, I've been gently pushing myself to run a little more beyond the prescribed running times. I've changed my attitude into a positive "can-do" approach. And I've focused on my breathing and I think I have a good rhythm down to what suits me and it gets me through…

Greetings from Delaware!
Hello everyone. I just joined this site (last week) for a few reasons: 1. To keep track of all the food and beverages I put into my body (OMG what is wrong with me!!?) 2. To analyze my problems with #1 (I have a serious problem) 3. To get some information on fitness, nutrition, exercise, weight loss, etc. 4. To ask…
