New year C25K. Anyone care to join me?

Jess you will get there. You might have to repeat some days/weeks. The first time I did w1d1 it took at least three attempts, I was SO unfit . You will surprise yourself if you stick with it. I remember the elation of completing w5d3, which in my app is a 20 minute run - no walking break. I actually found it harder going back to the walk/runs in week 6.

Go slower than you think you need to.

I'll be doing w1d3 tonight (this is my third c25k).

Did W2R1 this morning, it was surprisingly harder than I thought it would be. It was milder out though. Hoping my stamina is slowly going to improve, otherwise I could be stuck on W2 for a long time!

I was just thinking that when (if?) I get to the end of this it will be the end of Feb, and maybe I could think about 5k to 10k, and starting to run outside. Then I remembered that it will still be very much sub-zero, probably with snow on the ground, and the start of tornado season.

By the time it's warm enough to run outside it will be way too hot - at least 80 degrees F.

I'm doomed to a lifetime in the basement with the cat litter.

I hope it's not too late to join?

I started C25K a few months ago but I got a cold and just never got back to it. I don't know why because it made me feel really good. I would really like to do a 5k this year so need to start again. I'm going to do w1d1 tomorrow (well later!)

Thanks bedtime , did it but found it tough. Also did not sleep well last night Angel and been a bit grumpy and reluctant all day but yippee - did it

WK 2 r1 done today .

Really enjoyed it but was harder than yesterday as I didn't have a day off in between but I am going to struggle during the week because of work and family stuff .

half I hope you made it out and feel better for doing it . the hardest part of the run is stepping outside and just getting on with it .

Just done W3D1. I found it hard, but did it.

I had problems sleeping last night so woke up tired and achy anyway, with a headache. This run had the first 2.5 min runs in it, and they took quite a bit of will power but I did it. The next run is exactly the same so should be easier as I'm used to it.

However - Tues is kickboxing and I know I may not be able to move for several days after. I also have school/family things on Weds, Thu, & Fri, so Sat is my next chance to do the run. I'm hoping that by Sat I will have recovered from kickboxing but not forgotten how to do the running bit.

Need to go do W2D2 but don't want to.
Will vacuum the stairs first then get my trainers on.

Only 30 minutes and I will feel great after... Feel better soon Emily and enjoy the yoga Captain.

Just completed W1D2 (a day late, didn't manage to get out yesterday!). It was ok, but the extra two runs took me a bit by surprise, was a hot sweaty mess by the end, particularly as the last part of my route is up hill!

I haven't run for the last couple of days as I'm not very well, but I'm still reading the posts and applauding all of the rest of you.
Hoping to get my trainers back on soon.

W3r3 done. Much less vile as not so cold!

Also late to the party but will join. I started c25k in November on my treadmill but after struggling to move from week 3 to week 4 and repeating W3D3 loads of times I decided to try outside. What a difference it made! I then got as far as W4D3 (I have the zen labs app which is more staggered than others I think) but then Christmas got in the way and I didn't run between 23rd December and yesterday. So I'm now back to W4D1 which I know is further than most but hopefully I will be able to motivate you all to continue as the more runs I complete the more I realise I can do it .

W1D2 complete. I added a few untimed intervals at the end as I think it helps to build stamina for those long runs in the future. Currently I think I'm going too fast (5:45mins per km) so will no doubt slow that down by week 3 or 4...

I also had what I can only describe as an abdominal stitch for the duration of the run. Bitter experience tells me it's because I need to strengthen my core/hip flexors, sigh...

Hello! I'm starting partway in, so I'll be doing week 5 run 2 tomorrow morning. I did w5r1 earlier this week. I'm using the zombies, run app, which is insanely motivating! I run on a treadmill during winter, as I have cra,zy balance problems which make me fall over a lot while running outside!

Late to the party but I'm in. I use the Active c25k app.

Completed w1d1 on Thursday evening and going out to do d2 in half an hour or so. I usually aim to run every other day.

This will be the third time I've completed the programme . This time I just need to keep it going after the 5k, I find it far too easy to get out of the exercise habit...

Wk2 r1 done It was on the treadmill but I am building up to getting outside soon . I just feel really weird and anxious about seeing anyone I know .

I really enjoyed doing it today and I carried on until I got to 5k ( very slowly walking and jogging ) but I am hoping that it will give me a boost to remember how far I have come in a few weeks when I am struggling to keep motivated . Which for me is an inevitable !

Good luck with W2R1 Captain!**

I'm due to do W1R2 today, but still aching from R1 on Thursday! Actually worse today than it was yesterday but I think that's just a sign of how out of shape I am.

Feeling a bit miserable about it right now but determined to get out and do it when I have time this afternoon. Hope the rain stops by then...

W1D3 finally done - put it off for a couple of days (flimsy excuses) so today or never. On to Wk2 on Tuesday. Well done to everyone doing this

I did 5 weeks of it but had to stop due to injury before xmas. I want to start again but I'm wary of further problems, how slow should I take it this time? Repeat wk 5? Start again?

Well, I thought I had posted today, but apparently not! W1D3 finished. Found it hard to actually get out of the house, but once the second run was done and dusted I settled in to it. Looking forward to starting W2 on Sunday - pleased to hear it isn't as bad as expected halfgirl.
