Week 7 day 3 is finished. Week 7 is done. On to the 28 minute run! woo!

W1D3 completed again (will be repeating the whole first week next week too to really get a good handle on it!!) felt awesome!

I'm so excited to be running again.

W2D3 done. A bit scared of moving on to week 3...

Did W3D2 on Friday.

W8D1 DONE! Woohoo. 28 minutes running and I could have done 30 easily. I just have to make sure I pace myself :-)

MidnightRaven: I was scared before every single week. Believe me you can do it! The program is really well designed, if they say you are ready, you are! I never thought I can do the next day or week but I did. Try it! If you absolutely can't finish, fine. You tried it at least! Just repeat the day.

Had some extra energy, so thought I'd go back today and do W3D1 (even though I did W2D3 this morning).

It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought! I think running is a whole lot more mental than I realized.

Instead of doing the 5min cooldown, which I thought was silly because this one ends with a 3min walk already, I decided to see how much of the 5min I could job. I was able to do the whole 5 min! I did a bit of extra walking to cooldown after that, but I felt GREAT knowing that I was able to do that!

W2D1 down, not too bad.

:D

Annita 07-11-2011 07:55 AM

W3D1 completed.
felt great. I thought it finished way sooner than the last 2 previous weeks.
I'll run another 90 sec at the end of the last 3 minutes walking session before moving to 5 minutes cool down walk.
Or else I had to walk 8 minutes like today and I totally didnt like it at all.
And I'll move up my speed a little on the next running day. I was worried I might not last 3 minutes so I ran quite slow today.

Other than that, it was a great workout. I just couldn't wait till the day after tmr to run :D

Finished week 8 day 1! Woo. Not too hard at all.

Fwiw, I completely agree with Josey about being scared to move on each week or day, but always being ready and able to complete the next workout. Early on I told myself I would repeat a day as soon as I couldn't complete the next workout, but that I would always try the next workout before repeating one. I never had to repeat, so I really think the program is super well designed.

I just did the C25K--it was amazing--thought I would drop--I did my first run--I crossed the finish line--met my goal--still running--up to 45 min. trying to get up to an hour--what a great feeling it was

I am right behind you, or maybe in front of you? Catch me ;-)

Yup, don't repeat if you made it. I would only repeat if you can't finish. Actually never didn't make it. I was always able to finish. But it was tough, like really, really tough. I am just a lazy bum who doesn't like to do extra work (i.e. repeating).

I'm at Week 8 day 3. I'm losing my momentum! Also, I'm running on a treadmill and i tried to run outside (in the heat and humidity with a stroller, mind you) and I nearly DIED! Help!

josey 07-11-2011 04:24 PM

I am running on a treadmill too. I want to wait until fall with running outside because of heat and mosquitos. Mostly mosquitos.
Why are you losing your momentum?
