I completed c25k W5D3 today. I did it. I ran for 20 minutes continuously

IsabellaOlivia - way to go! I tackle that run on Sunday. I just did W5D2 today.

I had the horrible problem this morning of forgetting to charge up my trusty iPod. Ended up having to time the run and go sans music.

I almost felt naked! It was strange to go running with no music.

It's really helpful to have someone instructing you on when to run and when to walk. I think I would have struggled if I were to do C25K without the podcasts.

Completed C25k W6D1. I actually foud today harder than my previous run, which was the big 20 minutes straight.

I'm starting week 3 today I've gotta admit I'm nervous about running for 3 minutes, and excited as well, my knee was giving me issues but I've been wearing a brace and it's ok, I'm gonna look for some kt tape today and see how that goes, but it's mainly uncomfortable but I'm working on my form each time.

Oh yeah I got myself a panache sports bra well ordered one of amazon so excited to get it in the mail

Last week I only did C25K one day so I restarted tonight. Week 1 Day 1 under my belt, plus I did some additional walking afterward. I'll do this again on Thursday night and again sometime on Saturday. I think I'll make those my C25K days.

So apparently you can't do c25k at the gym I tried and it just had me in one spot so I have to re do it so I have accurate readings on my app cause I'm a stickler for those things

IsabellaOlivia: we're on the same schedule.

I just did W6D1 and I agree with you. It seemed harder to run the intervals instead of 20 minutes straight.

Had my weigh in this morning and I'm down another 1.4 lbs. I had a bad cheat weekend (tailgating: brats, guacamole, beer, yikes!), but redeemed myself. Also fit in an 45 minute power walk with a work friend on my non-running day.

It's weird. Even though I'm not breaking any speed records, I really am beginning to feel like a runner.

Oh and add me to the Panache Love Fest. I have been toying with the idea of ordering a few more bras from them, but want to wait as I'm starting to feel my current one is too big.

Decided to try and run for 35-40 minutes tonight to see how far I would go. I made it 40 minutes, and went 2.81 miles. I'm getting there!

CelticHarpie:

I did w6D2 today. And again I experienced today's run was more challenging that the 20 minutes straight. I guess it's a mental thing.

I did it! Ran just over 40 minutes today, and when I went to turn off Endomondo, it chirped "3 miles", so I HAD to keep going. It took me 44 minutes, but I ran the 3.1 miles today!!! YAHOO!!!!!

Way to go, Riddy!

I finished Week 6 on Monday, but ran day 3 again yesterday. Today was W7D1 and I added about 5 minutes to the run (because I wasn't back to the location I usually time my run to stop).

All in all, it was really good. That extra 5 minutes felt great. I even sprinted a bit.

Mostly, I was running a bunch extra because I had to attend a family funeral over the weekend and traveled. Funerals = lots of family functions and lots of food. I tried to be good, but it was challenging. When I got home on Sunday night, I was up 4.5 lbs from my weigh in the previous Wednesday. By this morning, I had lost all that, plus another .8. I don't think I've ever been so happy to lose less than a pound in one week. LOL.

I'm really nervous about w6d3. It's strange because I wasn't nervous about w5d3, but the 25 minutes is making me anxious.

I just finished week 4 day 2 ah I'm nervous about next week well I'm nervous about every week before it starts sadly the 2nd 5 minutes of week 4 is uphill where I run, it kicks my arse
