Hi Emma... Fyi, the free treadmill version I got from cool running is very similar in the long runs...w5d3 is 20, w6d3 is 22, w7d1-3 are 25, w8d1-3 are 28 as and w9 is 30.

Emma or Fadedblue - have either of you heard of a sports watch with two timers on it. I'd like to be able to set times to space at - for example - 120 seconds (run), 60 seconds (walk), repeat.... I'd use it around the neighborhood. I like to not have anything in my ears, because it is rural out here, and I like to watch and listen for dogs. People out here are clueless in tying up their pets. I've had one dog bite in the past, and I am real observant after that horrible incident.

Taking a few days off this week, after no breaks since February (5-6 days a week, no exceptions). Hamstrings just were tired. Wanted the ache on my sitting bones to diminish before revving up again!

I have a sportline watch with a chest strap hrm - model 1025, I think. It has lots of features and I think it would do what you want, although I don't use most of them. I know it does have multiple timers and you can track laps, etc. Check out the sportline website, there are a few other models too.

BTW, my new knee support arrived yesterday so I did w7d1...25 minute jog. I didn't get to running until 8:30 pm, and after dinner, and it was the first time since I started that I felt like I wanted to quit. But I didn't and I made it through just fine, although going even slower than usual. At least now I know for sure that I need to run before eating; even waiting for 2 hours after wasn't enough.

Should we start a new 2014 thread? I am using the ease into 5K app. I just completed W6D1. In this app it is 8 min run 3 min walk 8 min run. But W6D3 is a 20 min run.

I also signed up for a biggest loser 5K. Not a fan in particular of the show. Just too sensationalized. But it is close by and a good time for me. They also take free pics and it should be fun. It is March 30th.

Felt great after the run BTW.

I see diamondgeog has already been there, but for the rest of you there is a new for this year c25k thread going...I think I might move over there instead of posting in two places. Look for:

January 2014 C25K - Running Wild!
