Couch to 5 K

[BatFitch]

I'm going to join in too
I had started before but my joints were sore. Just going to take pain killers for the running days until I get used to it again. I feel it will be better for my joints in the long run to get this weight off so here we go! Week 1 day 1 today!

Welcome to the challenge Batfinch. How was your first day?

 

[Zigmaster]

Thanks for advice. Yes did my first day and doing second tomorrow. I did the first day on treadmill put am planning tomorrow outside. I did struggle a bit towards the end but just about managed to finish it. I think I will see how it goes and would rather repeat weeks than give up completely!! I need to work out how to repeat days/weeks as the app just seems to move on to next day/week.

Good luck & let me know how your getting on.

Hi It really is completely up to you - it is a 3 day a week program - but I personally do it 5x a week having the weekends C25K free - Although usually one day of the weekend I make OH come for a walk with me Also I have chosen to repeat week 4 a few times until I feel more comfortable - When you do it you will know what weeks you will repeat - or maybe you'll breeze through it Welcome!!! xxx

Thanks - I will try to do 3/4 times a week and will repeat weeks if necessary. Day 2 week 2 tomorrow!

Hi Zigmaster,
Welcome to the challenge! So far I have just managed the min 3 days on the treadmill although my intentions were to do more as I dont do any other excersie. I have restarted the programme as I was begining to struggle on week 3. I am hoping to complete week 2 on Wednesday and this time around I'm loving the programme. Have you started week 2?

Glad you are still enjoying the program

Thanks - I will try to do 3/4 times a week and will repeat weeks if necessary. Day 2 week 2 tomorrow!

Hi guys

I actually found it alright! I realised when I got home that I'd done 2 extra laps by accident lol!! Don't get me wrong I was knackered but I didn't feel like quitting and the 90second recovery seemed to be enough for me between jogs. Quite pleased with how it went no pulled muscles either.

Love your dogs Itoy&Suerti!!!

 

[Itoy & Suerti]

Ooh Im glad you are loving it... I find all through so far those breaks are a good amount Go team C25K!!
Also thanks for the pooch comment... do you own pooches/pets?

 

[BatFitch]

Yeah I have a German Shepherd, 2 cats and 2 guinea pigs lol. Will be adding another Shepherd pup at some point too

Did you rescue yours or have them as pups?x

 

[Itoy & Suerti]

I grew up with German Shepards Lovely dogs . Mine were rehomed - Itoy the brown/grey (Lhasa Apso) is actually a purebred pedigree - his father is an Australian champion. But Itoy has the wrong jaw and was given to a couple at 9 months - who gave him to us 2 days later... Was matted Suerti was just put for sale as he got under fences... he is lovely and very loyal what are your's names?

 

[BatFitch]

Poor souls! Not hard to dig down and put some chicken wire under a fence. Do you have any more pics of them?

My GSD is called Dino, I've had him since a pup. The cats are Pablo (black longhair moggy) and Ollie (ginger and White moggy), both rescues. The guinea pigs were privately rehomed as the little girl had lost interest - they're called Alfonzo and Cesar lol!
When I eventually get my next pup she'll be called Alice

Hello
How is everybody getting on?

I have finished week 2 and will be starting week
3 this weekend and am expecting a tough time. Only lost 1lb this week though!

 

[Itoy & Suerti]

Hi Zigmaster - Im continuing my version of week 4 for another week... Really struggling, but a good kind of struggle Ive been told when you get to week 4 - 9 is when the weight starts falling off, as you put on a fair bit of muscle from the beginning xx

 

[Iamreadyforthis]

Glad everyone is still doing well

HI BatFitch the thing I love most about this program is it can be done at any pace, and repeated as many times as you like Go Team 25K xx
