Yay I've just done wk1 d1!!!
As you can see by my weight I'm very unfit and I only managed to power walk the jog parts but then I attempted a jog and I did the minute but was knackered.
I think I will prob take longer than most to complete the program bur least I'm trying eh?

I was ready to start week 4, but haven't been out for 2weeks, so thinking I should do another week 3?
I am getting concerned that I won't finish this in time for race for life on 3rd July. My problem is I have a 2yr old and cannot always get someone to look after her while I go running. My hubbie works as a driver, so doesn't come home until very late in the evening. So weekends are the only time I can go out.
I think everyone doing 30 day shred and this are doing a fab job. I struggled to doing any other exercise whilst shredding!

downsizingmycurves - sounds like you had a terrible week! Sorry to hear it but glad you got everything sorted in the end.
I've just started W2 for the second time. I did W1 and started W2 and got an injury because I was running on pavement in tennis shoes. Had to lay off for a week then go back to square one, so have done W2D1 and W2D2 is tomorrow morning, in proper running shoes this time
How is everyone else finding it? Anyone else getting any aches and pains?
I really cant see myself getting to running 5 minutes non-stop yet but thats what everyone says isnt it
Anyone doing this for the race for life too??
Thanks, it was a terrible few weeks as far as progress on c25k goes.
I tried week 3/day 3 today but found the 3 min run too hard after leaving it 4 weeks since doing week 3/day2. Also, I was out on the pavement and not on the gym treadmill.
I had brought a new pair of New Balance running shoes over the weekend and they felt very comfortable. New Balance are the best for wider feet I think.
I think I may have to do all of week 3 again.
On the plus side, I have bought 30 day shred off ebay today after all the good reports so hopefully that will arrive this week and I can do that too.

Outdoors again. Went without ipod - ok run - tried to keep it easy and wasn't inclined to cane it. Nice 7 min run at the end to get me ready for the 8 min segments in next run! Left knee has started hurting which is a worry. May try to finish week 5 and then take a week off to rest from running generally.
Didn't shred tonight though - that's two nights in a row I've missed :ashamed0005: - need to get back with the programme now that Easter's over and I've nearly finished all my chocolate! xx

I've had a few days off too, with Easter and also working nights! Have struggled more than normal with sleeping during the day-cos the weather has been so nice, and towns been really noisy cos of the tourists!! My shred DVD arrived on Thursday so when I move back to the house on Saturday I will crack on with that-can't really do it at mum and dads cos don't have anywhere to do it

W1D1 completed after work on the treadmill.
Did my shred this morning at 6am!! Hope I can get out of bed that early to do it again tomorrow. Plan my next run Friday as it's a bank holiday so I will be able to rest between my run & my shred.
You have all inspired me to do this, hope I can cope with both!! xx

Bloody bell Hannah! Up at 6 to shred, that's motivation!
I just finished week 2, gonna have 2 days off then go into week 3. I ran on pavement this evening, for the first time since I got an injury. Left leg was a little achey but seems to have gone but I've got shooting pains almost consistently in me inside left thigh every few seconds. Doing my head in!

W5R3 - although really its R2 as I'm doing each one twice to acclimatise. This was two 8 min runs. Treadmill. Ran despite niggly knee and didn't feel it at all. But the heel pain is back. All my 'injuries' are on my left leg - my right has not had a thing wrong the whole time..... The run itself rocked - 10 kph on grad 1.0 for 1st 5 mins then up to 10.5 for last 3 of that bit. Then instead of running another 8 mins I ran about 10, all at 10.2kph.
Sadly my shred did not happen again today - must take a leaf out of Hannah's book.....

Welcome Hannah and well done everyone! I have had ten days off to rest sore knee and due to do week 9 day 1 today - 30 mins. No idea if I can do it. I have been cycling but .... I will try! I doubt my knee will let me carry on with the long runs but I would love to complete the course having got this far!! I will let you know ;-)

Those speeds are impressive. Well done.
I am hoping to get home from work early enough to try and do a week 3 day again as I couldn't manage it the other day. I may even go back and repeat week 2.
