Can I join the group? I just finished W1D1. I haven't run in about a year, and it definitely showed.

W6D1 done...I'm still struggling so we'll see how this week goes...I might be repeating this week too.

Telare...I definitely recommend walking, I was in the same place after week 2 and I tried to push through it...that just made things worse, so I committed to walking 3 mi per day, 5 days a week for two weeks, the I restarted week 2 and it went A LOT better.

Thanks for the advice. I've been walking and still working out, hopefully they get better soon!

Week 3 done, start week 4 today.

W6D1 completed.

Keep running everyone!

W1D1 done today. Shins began to hurt towards the end of the workout. As I go on and drop some weight (hopefully) maybe it will help. I might need to grab a new pair of shoes as well.

I feel like I could run for a lot longer if it wasn't for the shins.

W6D2
33:00 / 3.30
4.0/7.5/4.0/7.2/3.6

The end of the run was hard, but I pushed through.
Really didn't feel like getting started, but I feel much better now (an hour later and after a shower).

W6D3
3.29/32:00
4.0/7.2/3.6

I'm gonna have to restart this at some point.

Traveling 4 days/wk for the last 2 weeks (and the next 6 weeks) isn't really allowing me to keep up with the program.

I'm in the same boat. I'm still going to the gym to do cardio 4-5 days a week, just can't get motivated to run. Maybe I'll be back after I get a little more weight off and need a new challenge.

Week 1 is done. Starting week 2 this evening.

I did W1D1 today! It did feel nice to do something other than sit around watching TV. Also, what does week 0 consist of? The program I'm using starts at week 1.

We went down to the valley to see family last week (higher heat and humidity than I'm used to) so I just did W6D1 every other day. I did W6D2 for the second time yesterday, I plan to attempt W6D3 Saturday after repeating W6D2 one more time tomorrow.

On the advice of some coworkers I started cross training by swimming yesterday...it was good and I could definitely feel some muscles being worked out that aren't with running.

Today I ran the W6D2 for the fourth time...I wanted to try W6D3 but said muscles in my calf started tightening up. Instead I just pushed the same time intervals for the full 5k. Finished at 46:32. Not happy with it...but for (as my wife calls me) 330 pounds of "big boy" I guess it wasn't bad...on to week 7 on Monday.

Update May 28. Welcome HalfPintAg! I've clarified it in this update, but Week 0 just refers to people that are starting the program in the near future.

--NPH- You still with us?

Man I've been slacking. Started an internship at Auburn on the 11th and have been working 15 hour days so I've been wiped. I have been doin some running off plan just to keep moving but today jumped on W6D2 and rocked the 20 min run. I'm having problems adjusting to the crazy hills here as opposed to the flat runs of cs but I'm getting better!

2 mile run at 26:24 today. Having a little trouble getting the full 2 miles without stopping, but working at it.

5 min warm up
15 minute run
2 minute walk
4 minute run

Signed up with 3 co-workers to run the San Antonio Carrabbas relay half marathon on June 16th, my leg will be 3.06 miles...gonna keep working hard until then.

Did W2D2 yesterday. Shins absolutely killing even with a day off. Going to try to finish up the week this weekend.

Did W3D2 this morning. I have really enjoyed this so far.

With the new job it has been tough to stay on this.
I am determined to get done though.
Did the Gladiator Rock N Run in SA yesterday and the running wasn't bad at all.

W2D3 done today. Wish I could get on a M/W/F pattern, but something always gets in the way.

I have been pushing the jogs up to 6.0 speed and I am getting pretty winded, but the shins don't hurt as bad. Hope this gets easier soon, really want to stick with it.

Fell off the wagon for a while there due to closing on a house... But the good news is I am started back again and can walk/run to Memorial Park! W4D1 done yesterday

-REL: Good luck getting ready for the relay!
-NPH-: I've taken you off the active list. Let me know if you're still with us and I'll add you back.
-Nougat, Telare84, Tree Hugger, WillieAg08, Ag20?? - You still with us?

I'll throw my $0.02 in here. I started C25K back in late March. My daughter had been doing the Girls on the Run program, which culminated in a 5K in late April. Of course, Dad had to do the run, too. For the first few weeks, my running schedule was directly proportional to my infant son's sleep schedule -- when he slept, I ran and when he didn't sleep, I didn't run. I did the 5K, but I was only on week 2 or 3 at that point. Once the sleeping settled down some, I was able to get into a rhythm of running 3 times a week.

I am currently through Week 8 Day 2. I was able to complete the Komen 5K in Plano last weekend in 31:27, running the whole way. I've had an absolute blast doing this program. I never thought I'd be able to run for 30+ minutes at a time.

Gig 'Em,
Whoop99

Negatory, I'll have to restart sometime next month when I'm done traveling for work

Relay is this Saturday...still having some trouble on going without stopping.

My Current
1.25 jog/run
.25 walk
.25 jog/run
.25 walk
.33 jog/run
.34 walk
.43 jog/run
~ just over 43 min

Goal for Relay
1.75 jog/run
.25 walk
.33 jog/run
.34 walk
.43 jog/run
~ under 42 min

Still gonna keep working to run the whole thing, with an under 12 min mile average before moving onto 10K training.

W5 D2 done

W3 D1 done after a week off because of our move. Ran at Golds in Destin and felt great.

Did W4D3 today. Not looking forward to W5D3.

Checking in after the relay. My running app crapped out on me after the first mile, so I had no clue how to judge when to walk and when to run. I felt like I walked the whole thing, but they posted the official times today and I ran a personal best. I'm gonna keep working at running the full 5k without stopping during the next couple of weeks and then start a 10k program for a race this fall.

My long term pipe dream is a half marathon next spring and maybe even a full in a year and a half. We'll see how it goes.

Have actually been trying to do this on my own. Trying to just get to running 2 miles nonstop. Getting frustrated, so I decided to try this. W1D1 - 2.17 miles in 28:35. Think I was stuck a little beyond this, but just didn't quite know how to push through to the next level.

Hoping I get there soon!

W1D2 done. 2.05 miles in 26:29.

Started this myself. W1D2 2.35 miles in 29:15. Shin pain as well. Hopefully it let's up.
