Couch to 5k challenge

[sweet pink]

I have just started following c25k yesterday & am loving it so far. Can't believe I missed out on such a fab programme for soo long!! I finally decided to try it so that I can run a 5k fun run with my daughter next year (well that & toning up & shifting a few more pounds ) I'm looking forward to all of your words of wisdom & kicks on the backside when needed

That was hard...not sure if it was the very bad winds or the 5 min sections Least now I know what my hoodie is for

Just updating.....I went out yesterday in the howling rain and wind....A whole new me! In ways it obviously is getting harder...but in other ways the first week was the hardest so far for me as there were just so many runs to do! Yesterday, yes there were 5 minutes runs, but just 4 runs in total which makes it feel less of a drag.

I agree I found the less repetitions easier!

I looked at the Bridge to 10k app but for me time wise it's 53-70mins I can't do that, on c25k it starts off at 40mins (Inc stretches 5 mins at start and finish) and by week 9 it's taking me 50 mins and I am defo feeling the pressure time wise of that so know more time is just not possible at the moment, I also know in a few weeks it is going to be too hot for me even in the early mornings, so thinking of swimming in the summer?

Yipeee I am a C25K graduate finished week 9 day 3 this morning!!!!

Dewinter I can't believe you are into week 6 already, by day 3 you're on the home run.....!

Sweet Pink, welcome!

 

[Dewinter]

Gemini76, I cannot believe I am on week 6 either! I think in a strange way I prefer the longer timed runs rather than the run, walk, run, walk options. My legs seem to be more tired if that is possible!
:happy096: well done in finishing the plan Gemini76!!!!!!

 

[trcy1066]

Seriously considering doing this now. I walked to work and back on MOnday (split into 2 parts) which is 5k! I'm finding that time-wise I'm quite constrained at times. I took a day off yesterday (baked all day!) and wish I hadn't because today is looking difficult. I'm off to work again in an hour but should be home by 7/7.15. If I am, I'm seriously considering doing my walk before I eat. I hate eating late. I've never liked excercise.... what's going on?! I can't believe I'm not making excuses to not do it

I think that being in control of my life could be a very serious addiction

 

[Charmel]

I'm planning to do W1D3 tonight, all being well. Legs have been fine this time, and actually quite looking forward to it! Had my first WI tonight and lost 2lb. So far so good.

 

[sweet pink]

That's week 1 day 3 completed. Going to do an eztra day of week 1 tomorrow evening coz I'm really enjoying this. Well enjoying it all except the blisters!!

 

[Tatws]

Hi Less of me sorry I didnt make it to Zumba tonight I ended up having to do something for work but will be working hard to get there next week. Hope you had fun

 

[Less of me]
