Finished week 3 yesterday. Then today I went and ran a mile straight. :)

Great Job iamerican

I completed W5D3.

The cool perfect evening weather helped alot. I jogged 2+ miles. Have no idea of my time. Once I am completing this course consistently, I'll time myself.

W8D2 done!

W5D3 Done for the 2nd time :carrot:


Jogged 2+ miles outside, didn't time myself.

The run really killed me today. Once I stopped jogging, I nearly hacked up a lung trying to catch my breath.

Gonna stick with this workout until I can do it without morning soreness. I need to let my legs/body get stronger

Great job on the mile straight iamerican!

Scarlett, that is a good idea about the leg soreness. I've not had any yet, bu I would do what you're doing definitely :)

I did W1D1 yesterday and am feeling really good. I literally got up off the couch yesterday to do it, too. I haven't ever really run before and I think this program will be challenging but I'm up for it.

Hi all! Thought I would chime in... I just finished week 2! Loving it so far!

W1d2 done. It was really humid this morning but I went anyway and I made it through. It actually began to drizzle the last 10 minutes and it was very welcome lol.

I just finished W5D1. I can't believe I did it!

I've been slacking, I haven't done any running since W4D3 about two weeks ago. Instead I've been exploring the gym I joined - and I've fallen in love with spin classes. I'm going to work in the rest of C25K in around the rest of my schedule at the gym, because I want to do classes, too!

I'll admit I was a bit terrified of trying W5D1, and finally got the nerve to do it this morning. Now that I've done this day, I'm not as scared of moving on to day 2! Day 3, however... what?! 20 min!?

I completed week 2 yesterday :) I can't wait to start week 3 tomorrow

MidnightRaven - you will be SO surprised with how much spin class helps your running! I did that in college (omg...7 years ago?!) and it was phenomenal. So many more benefits than I ever would have imagined!

I just got done with W8D3 so I'm on to week 9 and then I've graduated! I'm planning on running a 5k race at the end of September, but I might have to find one before that - I don't know if I can wait that long!

plumeria: I always hope for rain when I'm running, too. Cools me down AND makes me feel hardcore! :D
MidnightRaven: That's how I felt at the beginning of last week, too. 20 minutes? Me? For seriously? But I did it Friday and it was a lot better than expected - this program really does a great job of preparing you. Be confident - you'll be able to do it!
kariatari: I'm registering for a September 5k too - good motivation to finish this thing! The one I'm looking at is right at the end of week 9, so hopefully I'll be able to do it.

Like I just said, did w5d3 on Friday (with much trepidation) and it went fine! The first five minutes were honestly the hardest part - after that I found a groove and it was pretty easy up until close to the end. I even had enough spare energy to speed up a bit for the last three minutes. I didn't make it quite two miles, but I'm not too concerned with pace right now. Just running twenty minutes (which I have never done in my entire life ever) is enough for me.

I love all the new people on the thread. I finshed week 4 day 2 this morning! Its going well. It looks like everyone is doing really well.

currently due to personal reasons, i'm taking 7-10 days off from running (started 3 days ago). When this week ends, I will resume to running (unless circumstances change).

Hope you guys have fun while doing c25k :D

I completed w3d3 on Friday. I took off the weekend and redid w3d3 yesterday because I was afraid to move on. It was tough. I shouldn't have been so lazy all weekend.

I think I may hang out at this speed for a week and work on breathing. I keep fumbling for breath at times. I want to get this down before I get any further.

A friend and I are signing up for a fun walk/trot 5k Labor day weekend. Should be fun. Even if we do walk most of it.
