I haven't started this or decided if I wanted to, but I did find a podcast that I will for sure be using.

I LOVE the music the use! http://www.djsteveboy.com/1day25k.html

Be sure you are downloading/saving target as the part that says "DOWNLOAD WEEK 1" next to the play button and not the individual songs.

All I get downloaded is the little blue "play" box.

I must be missing something. I never see "save target as".

You right-click on the download text and then save target as

Mojo,
That's so cool! I'm definitely going to try it out with 30DS. Although I'm on level 3 already so I'll be done with 30DS long before I'm done with this program.

HeatherMcG · 03-26-2009, 05:52 PM

AHA!

Mine says "save link as". lol Thanks a bunch! I can be a doofus sometimes.

I just look a look at it in Firefox (should have done that first) and was going to post that but you beat me too it.

Thanks guys you have all motivated me to start the program. I think I will try to do it Mon-Wed-Fri (weekends are crazy for me). So I will be starting Monday! I also think a c25k thread is a great idea to keep us all motivated...I need to get some new shoes.

Haha! That's the first thing I did when I started the program. They gave me blisters as I broke them in so I wore bandaids under my socks for a week but now I love my running shoes!

hey c25k'ers! lol

i am on w2,d3 and i think i will do the run monday. i notice that when i dont take enough time between runs my shins try to hurt. that is so painful and will set me back in ways i cant handle so i plan to take a rest day or two between most runs.

i will prob start week 3 on thursday.

this is like the 2nd time i have started the program and the first time i got to week 3 or 4 and it really is what helped me lose weight. everything else had me spinning my wheels so to speak. i wasnt gaining or losing. i really love to run and cant wait till i can just wake up and jog/run my 3.1 miles. it will be awesome.

HeatherMcG · 03-27-2009, 10:52 AM

Ditto to waking up and jogging 3.1 miles. My legs are super sore today! I normally always run 3 days in a row but I think next week I might have to rest in between runs.

I'm brand new to C25K and I did W1 D1 yesterday, and I really liked it! I get so BORED on the treadmill, just truckin along at the same speed for 30-40 minutes lol, so I really liked how c25K made you change things up... go for different periods of time at different speeds, etc. Definitely kept my interest and kept me paying attention lol.
