Couch To 5K?

[CS2388 7]

I started it on the 13th. I did one day and that night my hip was killing me. I went back to just walking the next day. The last two days I have walked and jogged (shuffled more like it! :0). My hip still hurts a little but nothing like it did that first night. I am waiting until my hip feels better before I do the program again. :-)

That's great! Good luck with everything I'm sure you'll be up and at it in no time!

Ok... the fact so many of you have done it gives me hope. LOL. I have always struggled to run but now that I have lost quite a bit of weight and am exercising regularly, I am going to start next week. Need to get the iphone app.

I just started it. I'm on week 1. So far I like how it's working me out. I was definitely sore afterwards. Good luck to everyone. I'm gonna keep at it

Thanks for the info. I'm going to get the app tonight.

Alright... I tried it a few times on a treadmill using the app. I was DYING by 10 minutes in. :/ it wasn't so much being out of breath but it felt like my entire body was being jostled inside and my abdomen started hurting.

But... Walked my dog the past 2 days and attempted to mix slow jogging in with walking and found it way better. I will walk a block, jog half block or til I can't go on, and repeat. Made it 30 mins. I guess that's progress? Will revisit the program in the future.

I'm excited about trying this app. So far I'm just doing intervals every few minutes. Imagine we have come this far to run!!!!! Would never have thought i could even love to exercise.

I am on Week 4 day 2. I find it harder to run on the tm because it requires me to keep my speed steady. I tend to go faster than I do when I am on the track but I like it because it makes my walking much quicker and I can do a 15 minute mile instead of a 18 minute mile.

On a side note have you heard of www.dailymile.com

I LOVE logging my workouts there! I get so much motivation!

If you want more info message me! (It's free)

I got this app and I'm starting it on Monday! I tore my ACL 4 years ago and had it replaced a year ago so I haven't jogged in 4 years!! But I got another app called "Zombies, Run!" and wow I love it!!! You can walk, jog, or run to your own music... and every now and then a mob of zombies will chase you and you have to pick up the pace to outrun them. I normally do a power walk and then I jog during the chases. It's not as much jogging as the C2 5k so I feel like it really got me ready to do it. I think it's a GREAT app for people (like me) who haven't jogged in years. My knee feels better than it ever has since I started!

Ha, don't mean to advertise another app, but I REALLY think it's a great prep for the C2 5k program

OMG I totally want to do the Zombie APP!! There is actually a 5k where you run away from Zombies!! I was training to do that this December. Now maybe I will do it!

[Cooper123 93]

It sounds great! I'm gonna download the app right now!

Like I previously mentioned, I run 30 continuous minutes every morning......

Just last week, after my 30 minutes are up, I immediately without any pause, go to the C to 5k program....

I'm on week #2. Gonna see if it will enable me to run for 60 continuous minutes, or about 12K

I was going straight to the elliptical after running for another 30, but decided to stay on the treadmill for the full hour.

We'll see .

Also, I used to work out to loose fat....I now work out for increased fitness and endurance.....there is a difference.

Love this app, I started it last week and totally surprised myself I actually completed it without stopping. I'm sure my running speed isn't that fast but I ran the whole time I was supposed to. So you don't get too sore it's important to do stretching after the run/ walk. If you're not to sure how to or what stretches go to YouTube and search for stretching after a workout.
