Hi, anyone wants to join me on this?

I am assuming you mean a couch to 5k? I'll join. I am on week 1/day 2 of the iPad app version - did 5 min walk/ 8 rotations of 1 min run/1.5 min walk and 5 min walk today.

My history is that I see myself as a runner but 3 years ago I injured my hip by overuse so I stopped running. I am trying to start running really slow while doing work to strengthen my very flabby butt, hips, abs and thighs.

I am hoping to do the full c25k program and run/walk a 5 k at the end of January.

Hi CG, nice to have you on board. I did the same c25k too 2 years ago and I got to the point where I could run for an hour, then my gym closed for renovations and that was it. I want to restart using the same plan. What iPad app do you use?

I did couch to 5 k a few years back. I want to start back, but may wait til Spring. Good luck! It works.

Its yellow - its called 5k runner. I am off this week so I am trying to do a run most days - next week I will get back to normal every second day routine. Its cold here today so I am going to aim for an afternoon run.

I'll be starting tomorrow. Keeping my fingers crossed. I haven't run (nor even exercised) in such a long while!

My hip is tender so I am did strength trainibg today. Will do my 3rd run tomorrow.

Nice! You're persistent. I gave up starting today bcos I woke up with an ugly cold. Throat and chest burning, running nose and all. I'll take some medication and try to keep my eating under control.

3rd day - did 5 min walk, 8 rotations of 1 min run/1.5 min walk, 5 min walk

My hip/butt area was sore - dull pain

Also did strengthening today

Will continue with massage and going to see physio

Plan is to keep going slow and steady.

4th day

Chose to go slower pace -6:30 min/km - my goal is to stay slow and build strength so I don't injure myself - worked well - my hip felt better

5 min walk - 4 rotations of 1.5 min run/ 2 min walk - 3 rotations of 1 min run/ 1 min walk - 5 min walk

5th day

Kept slow pace - hip good - mild soreness - same program as yesterday - good run

Wow girl, you're doing well! I can't believe I've been missing your posts. Keep up the good work. My cold is slowly going away. I hope I'll feel better tomorrow so I can start by Sunday.

Glad to hear you are starting to feel better. Monday will be the real test for me - I go back to work

20 mon walk this am - hope to get run/walk in thus afternoon

Lots of snow today so I did my run on snowshoes

5 min walk, 6 rotations of 1.5 min run/ 2 min walk, 12 min walk

It was tiring! My butt muscles hurt during but my hip doesn't hurt now.
