Couch to 5k challenge

Well done biggysmalls. It is a great achievement. People were telling me to stop the weight loss a stone ago but I wasn't losing weight dramatically but the running toned alot up and def changed my shape. I managed 10k in just over an hour last week but my knees didn't like it so I need to strengthen them somehow. Well done again on finishing.
 
Woohoooooo biggysmalls! Well done! Bet you are chuffed to bits! A great achievement. My weight loss slowed right down when I was running a lot in the last few weeks but has sped up a lot now. Will be interesting to see what happens when I start running properly again!! X
 
Hi everyone, just wanted to drop in a congratulate you all on what sounds like a succesful week. I havent got out this week as we had a family bereavement but looking forward to getting out again & back on the plan on monday evening

Hi all,
Week 1, Run 1 completed yesterday. Run 2 will be Thursday.
Did this about 2 years ago and go stuck around the week 5 mark but hoping to complete it this time.
Hoping to catch up with the rest of you runners soon!!!
 
Having not run for 2 months when I completed it due to twinges in my back I did 30 mins yesterday and I am in agony today!

Not just my back but my legs! Must use completely different muscles to those I use at the gym.

Got Fun Run next week and dreading it, going out again tomorrow and Friday and avoiding the gym this week, just concentrating on running.
 
Can't update the list on my phone :(

Tinkerbellarella wk 1 second day done.

Just bought me some reebok easytone trousers to wear on my run, already have traintone and easytone trainers. I don't look as hot as the people in the ads mind!lol

After about 10 years of hanging round this thread I have finally done week 1 day 1. Woohoo. Hopefully do day 2 tomorrow on the treadmill, found running outside much harder.

Good luck, Sweet Pink. As Laura from the NHS podcasts would say, "You can do this. You can definitely do this" :D
 
Just did week 1 day 2 but was wondering......is it cheating to skip week 1 day 3 and go straight to week 2 day 1? Only because I've discovered that I've basically been doing week 1 for about 4 weeks but it's only now I actually started it that I realised. Lol.
 
Well i guess it would be fine, u want to be challenging yourself after all. Week one is tsking forever as each time i plan to go out i'm either ill or hubby is at football

Hi, ive just downloaded this app for my phone. Can I join in? I need some encouragement - Im going to start at the weekend. :) x
 
I can't see that it would hurt, I have already done it just not realising I had. Haha. I guess if I try week 2 day 1 and it's too hard I can just go back to week 1 day 3.
 
Mrs B, I needed some encouragement when I first started exercise and c25k but I've mow been at the gym for about 2 months and am absolutely loving it. C25k just gives me something to aim for while I'm enjoying my exercising. Good luck :)
 
Oooh I'll join. Going out for the first day of week 2 of a C210k later today. I love it so much and can't wait for this weekend when I'll probably go out each day!
 
Week 6 day 3 completed & I have to say I am sooo chuffed with myself. I struggled a bit around the 18 minute mark but felt ok by 20 minutes & even felt as if I could carry on when the 25 minutes were up!!! Never in a million years thought I would say that!!! :D

Good luck to everyone starting out. The plan is absolutely fab so trust in it & you will get through. If I can do it anyone can!!!
