No you follow exactly what it says day to day. You were right doing 8 then 5 then 8 and yes its a 20min run next. Seems daunting but just take it very slowly - you can definitely do it xx

Dun me W2D3.. Ad a sneaky look ahead, n bit worried bout ma nxt run, seems a bit of a jump up... But will try anyway...

Jay x
 
I was the same!! But I did it and so can u ;) x
 
Carly is right. You can do it. I did it. I used to look ahead and think "no way I can do that" but I'm on week 8 now ;)

Just got the app :) going to do day one today! Even though it's freezing!!! Do you think it would be ok to do a combination of outdoor/treadmill as sometimes i will be outdoor and sometimes treadmill when I join the gym! X

Yeah, Laura sometimes does treadmill and sometimes does outdoor. I've always done outdoor myself... Some say its a bit easier on the treadmill. I ran my first 5k the other day so can vouch for this plan if you stick with it :) x

Haven't updated in ages, I've completed my programme and have been able to run my 5k in around 35 - 30mins. Now I just need to practice. Thinking of giving zumba a rest for next 2 weeks and training every other day as the 5k fun run is coming up in 2 weeks eeeekkkkk

Which training was that Laura? The OT one? Was it much different to C25k?? x
 
yip its different from the c25k, I found it easier but I skipped the first 3 weeks because I had already done a load of C25k ones. Really annoyed now though, can't do any running as this bloody cold has gone into my chest and looking all over the net it says not to run with a bad chest as it'll get worse, so can only hope it goes away soon or all my hard work will go to loss and I won't be able to run the whole 5k :-(
 
Ah hon you _definitely_ shouldn't run with a bad chest. Don't worry, you've been going great and you will be able to do the 5k. Rest up now rather than making it worse and next week you can train up, bet you'll be fine doing it :) x

Well done to Laura who's our first person to complete her training and do her 5k :D xxx inspiring stuff I think we'll all agree!
I did my first 5k on saturday but haven't finished c25k yet so keeping going with that to the end now. Less than 2 weeks to the operation transformation 5k fun run ;)
