Just wondering if people have had success with this program

Did the first two days so far and hope to continue and run a 5k this spring!!!

I use "Ease into 5K" By Bluefin Software, LLC on my iphone I love it it works really well - you can play your own music and get the run/walk instructions as you listen to your playlist.

Ok I had never heard of this until now. Looking up free plan now. I am gonna do it. Thank you.

Did day 1 of week two today- man its hard! But I reall love that I can run for 90 seconds multiple times.

Ok, I did the exact same one at the gym today and I was dying. Lol.

Basically it's a 9 week program that trains you to run 5k (about 3 miles)

You follow their instructions and work on the treadmill 3x a week. The actually training is tough. It's intervals of high speed and low speed.

It's not easy, but challenging and rewarding.

Ha, did day two today and i'm really exhausted from it! we're in this together, girl!

Lady I down loaded a few c25k programs on computer to down load to mp3 if I can figure out how to send the links I will do so. There are ones you pay for and free ones. I don't pay for anything on the web myself. There are mp3s or apps for the phones. google couch to 5k

Ok took several hours to get it right but have my couch to 5k program loaded on mp3 player. (Actually 2 or 3 of them so I can find the one with music I like) they are 9 week programs but I think mine will be at least 12 weeks.

I love this program and have done 4 5ks in the last year and a half using this program. I am two weeks post op and just started back at the gym yesterday. Only walking. One mile/20 minutes. Heading back right now. Brrrr...it's cold here!

I started using the C25K app and got through week 4. Well the app crashed on me one day so I downloaded a new one and the timer was WAY off. In strafing of me running 3 min walk 1.5 run 5 min walk 2.5 the damn thing had me running 5 min then 8 min. After that I decided I would just go out and run without the app and was able to do 2.5 miles. I upped it each time and now I do 3.1 miles each time I run. It's a great app and program.

WOW

Just finished week two and by the 3rd day, running 90 seconds was a breeze!

Can't wait to start week 3 tomorrow!

Trying to load a good app on my ipod or phone to help me keep track while I run....

Today I did my second day of week one. I like it a lot. I did it the first day on the treadmill and today I did it outside on a nice path around a small lake. I prefer the treadmill because it keeps me at a steady pace and I prefer the lake path well because it is a lake path. Did it both times without stopping. I walk then walk faster on the run parts. This might actually work for me.

Did Week 3, Day 1 this afternoon. I cannot believe I was able to run for 3 minutes straight (twice)! It was tough but I finished. Never would've been able to do that 150 lbs ago.

I registered for a race in April, so there's no turning back now. Nervous.

did the 20 minute run!!!! was able to do the whole 20 minutes without stopping. Wasn't fast, and I'm sure it wasn't pretty, but I did it. Now onto 15 minute run, 3 min walk then another 10 minute run. Have done that twice so far. Will probably do that a few more times before I move onto Week 7.

If I can do this, so can you!!

Did Week 3' date=' Day 1 this afternoon. I cannot believe I was able to run for 3 minutes straight (twice)! It was tough but I finished. Never would've been able to do that 150 lbs ago.

I signed up for a 5k race at the end of April as motivation to get me through the program. I on week 3 day 3 and scared to move on to week 4

The wife and I are planning to do the Zombie Run later in the year! I plan to use the couch to 5k system for sure.
