Installed the app and just got back from the first session. Anyone else interested?

I did week 1 day 1 (again) today. I made it less than half way through and had to walk the rest.. Just going to keep repeating the day until I can do it and then move on from there.... I'm sure it doesn't help that I'm still 259 pounds at only 5'5"! Frankly I'm surprised I could even run for an entire minute!

Hey guys. Everyone looks like they're in the zone, congrats.

Been missing in action for a while. Still running. I'm doing a 5k about twice a week and 3 CrossFit sessions a week.

Hope you're all well,

Deano

Welcome back Dean, you have been missed!

Hey you are getting out there getting it done. I've repeated many of the days and probably will still do that. When I move to the outside I plan to start about week 5 and go from there. Good job and stay with it!!

Welcome back Dean, you have been missed!

Thanks man!!

I like coming back and seeing people have dropped below 30 BMI on their tickers!

Yay! I can't wait to get mine tomorrow! Let me know how you like it.

Oh and congrats on the 5k!

Thanks! I bought it, but haven't finished putting it together so I went outside for a run today. It was hot and miserable, so I'm looking forward to running indoors!

I just got mine this morning and I'm in no shape to run.. But I did my first 20 minutes on it and plan on going back for more in a little bit..

I'm starting at a place extremely out if shape I can tell..

I always thought I was in no shape to run. My run is a very slow jog. The great thing about Couch to 5K is you start very slowly. Day 1 is repeat 5 times: jog 45sec, walk 60sec. 5 min warmup before and 5 min cool down after. I've had 2 knee surgeries, arthritis, and chondromalacia in both knees. I started 4 weeks after surgery when I was 237 (February 13). I'm now 208 and have 38 more pounds to goal (I'm 5'11"). If I can do it, anyone can! If things are moving around, strap them down and get moving (I love my compression shorts).

I'm going to start it tomorrow I am on it ( the treadmill) again. Getting used to it I did 60 seconds of running and it wasn't easy!

Muahahaha... I did 60 minutes of walking and did a few 1 minute runs in there also

That's awesome Laura! You've been a beach walker for a long time, I knew you'd enjoy it. Have you downloaded the C25K app??

I down loaded it and looked at it a little while ago.. I guess I have to manually speed up and slow down the treadmill as I'm doing it?

Because as you speed up the treadmill it takes a few seconds to build up faster...

Yeah, give yourself a few days to get to know the machine and what a comfortable walk speed for you and a 'comfortable' jog speed........... I'm excited for you!

I'm excited too, It's time I stop sitting around and watching other people get fit while I get weaker...

WHAAAA? I'm doing the WRONG program, mine is run 60 seconds walk 90 seconds.. repeat EIGHT times. I just got back from attempt number 3 and I was able to do FOUR repetitions. I did two repetitions then walked through the next minute run, then did one more and walked for the next one and then one more and then walked the rest. My total time running was only four minutes.. but then again I'm only 5'5" and I still weight 259 pounds so I'm hauling a hundred extra pounds on my small frame.

OH and to all you frady cats out there.. I went out in a form fitting TANK TOP and my lightweight cellulite and pannus enhancing bottoms....and did this in a very popular public area and I didn't die of humiliation.
