Hi, if you've made it this far, you already know the drill. I am an out-of-shape-but-working-on-it 42-year-old wife, mother, full-time job holder. I somehow...
Oops, forgot the links for the Web sites. Couch to 5k program info and training schedule (9 weeks) http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml Couch to...
TRAINING DAY 1, 3/9/08 (Sun) Well, things didn't work out exactly as I had planned ... go figure, haha. My plan was to get on the treadmill and walk a...
I started the program a couple of days ago, so just finished my second run for week 1. And I gotta tell ya, Shana's experience, that sudden realization that...
All right, two down and one to go before you move to the week 2 plan!! I am thinking I might need to do two weeks of the week 1 program before I am ready to...
Yeah! I did it!! I am so thankful this group was started. It was the motivation I needed. The first 3 intervals I felt great. Next 3 I was starting to feel...
YAY KATHY! Awesome! I'm doing my second day on Wednesday, hopefully without a baby in a non-baby jogger. RE: the podcasts, on the last interval, did you find...
Yes, that was annoying. I also found for the first interval I started running before he said go. Then another time I didn't start running cause he didn't say...
Congrats Kathy! Yeah, the music kept me moving, but it wouldn't be my first choice. We could think about mixing our own podcasts for this...maybe for the last...
I love the idea of mixing our own podcasts, but I have no idea how you get the voice track over the music track ?? I am barely proficient at downloading music...
Hi all! I just found the group on Craigslist and am stoked. I was just about to post an almost identical ad when I saw it so...great minds and all that. I...
Good luck Mandy! I'm going to do my second run tomorrow. My goals are: 1. don't stroke out, 2. don't fall on my ass tripping over my own spastic feet and 3. ...
I did the c25k two years ago and it was great! But then winter came and I didn't like running in the cold/ice. So, I tried to run the first week schedule this...
TRAINING DAY 2, 3/12/08 (Wed) I decided to do my training on the treadmill today because I didn't want to go out and run by myself this morning because there...
Hi Nina... I'm so glad to hear that you've had success with the couch to 5k. Nice to know it's really doable. Keep us posted on your progress. Shana...
Good job on the treadmill. I don't know what to tell you about your feet. You could go to a running shoe store and they can tell you what it might be. I...
Everything went well. Better than the first time. I felt good, breathing was not too bad, legs not straining too hard. Maybe I should push myself more? I...
Okay, maybe charm is an exaggeration, but it wasn't bad. Although...I need to increase my speed. At the moment I'm doing 2.8 & 3.0 for the walks and 3.4 to 3.6...
You might want to go to a running store and have them check out your shoes. You need different shoes for walking/running and having someone who really knows...
... ready for the next level, so maybe that'll be the time to up the speed a bit. I am thinking the same thing. I feel good about my first two runs, but I'm...
I feel you! It took a lot of motivation to walk today. I went out twice. Once it was raining and then later when it cleared. No running but I walked 6...
Six miles... check you out! That's awesome. I have two high schools with nice running tracks both less than a mile from my house, plus a track around our...
I was thinking the same thing. I am still going to try and run through the rain drops. I have gone 37 years with out melting. And I am going up where there...
I have always wanted to walk through Washington Park. I am afraid I would get lost. Is it easy to walk around in? Are there maps? Good for you doing 6...
I did my third run this week. This is the most exercising I have done in a long time and it feels great. I am still debating whether to do another week one...
Yay!! What did you wear to run in the rain? I debated it for about a nanosecond and then went to the gym. I don't have anything water resistant other than my...
I did my third run today. I wussed out and did it on the treadmill. I LOVE the fact that in this new and improved reality, exercising on the treadmill is...
I wore my regular sweats and a sweatshirt. It wasn't raining when I left, and only started sprinkling in my last five minutes. I made it home before my five...
