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

Your not a weenie! Your a hero for facing your fears.

You get so much kudos for that!! (Hug) I did it!! I can't say that I didn't want to stop running, at one point I actually wondered if my app had stopped working because it felt like I'd been running foreeeever. Lol fun!! Can't wait to go again! How does it jump from 8 to 20 or whatever it is. Like. How does that EVEN make sense? Lol

Mine goes from jog 10 walk 1 jog 8 on w6d2 to jog 20 on w6d3. I guess they figure you jogged a total of 18, so 20 shouldn't be that much more difficult. W6d3 is pretty rough, but once I got through it mentally I was ready to keep going and adding minutes.

I use two different apps and I was looking at them last night. The app that I mainly use has me jogging 20 minutes on week 5 day 3, the other app has me running 20 minutes week 6 day 3. So I don't know what the differences between the two of them but I'm already on the one app so I'm going to keep going. Happy running everyone.

See that kinda thing happened to me. I was used to one app that I'd paid $4 for and then saw that this other one shoes GPS, wall pace, distance, run pace. I liked that, bought that one and it was different. Here's the one I'm using.

And that's what I look like when I'm done, Crap! Rofl. My teeth aren't crooked, I always look like that on my camera phone. I felt great tho!!

Amy you glow after you run. I guess I'm cheap. My apps are both free. This is what I have.

And I don't take my pic after running. Too scary. Lol

Aw. You're too sweet!

I had one I loved (5k runner free and then after two days I realized you only got to use maybe the first week and then you had to get the laid version. But I liked it so much and couldn't find a free version I liked (compared) so I bought the 10k version of that one. But then someone posts a screen shot of theirs and I wante to try that. I don't buy apps generally, but for this I did.

I DID IT! 20 min run done. C25K W5D3 is history. Ok, now ill try and switch back to humble mode.

I remember thinking that exact same thing. Like WTF are they thinking? It took me a few attempts to get it. The first time I basically planned to break it up and do 2 10 minute runs with a 1 minute walk in between. Second time I ran for 15 minutes before taking the break. Third time was the charm and it was then that I started to feel like a runner. It took 3 attempts to accomplish it, but considering that I thought it was impossible, I call that a victory. You'll do it. Just gotta believe.

Brag away...you should be proud.

Good thing I'm still on week one. Because after this vacation I will be starting all over again on everything! Diet and exercise. At 10 thousand feet plus even walking up stairs gets me winded!

It sounds like everyone is doing great! Can't wait to join you again

I can sympathize!!! Just did my day 1, first post op jog... Denver is a lot lower in altitude than Breck and it was not easy! But it's done, the seal is broken.

Good job! I'm actually looking forward to getting back to it!

My son and I in Vail yesterday on our bike ride

That's do great! The altitude in Breckenridge kicked my butt! It was so beautiful though!

I downloaded the app and I'm going to start this. I'm going to join a gym and do it there for two reasons:

1. I can't wuss out when it gets hot in the summer (it's winter now here in Australia)

2. I have ligament damage in my right ankle and its very prone to sprains. I've never had one on the treadmill but have a few a year outside just from walking around. I need surgery but want to wait until I'm smaller so crutches get easier.

3. There is a gym right across from my office so there is literally no excuse.

I have actually done this workout several times in my past. The first was in 2001 when it was just an article in Runners World and I was in the midst of losing 35 kg (70 pounds) on Weight Watchers. That was on the treadmill. Then I did it again outside with my husband. Running outside was harder. Then I did it again when I was fat again and it didn't go well. But I think it will be good for me to do it again as long as I pair it with strength training. I love how it feels to be a runner. I ran track and field in high school (800 meters, 1600 meters, and 3200 meters) and it was a big source of pride.

Not sure if I will start it this week as I have a business trip coming up that will have me in India for three weeks. I don't relish the thought of running in Indian traffic but I think there is a gym I will have access to. But if I join the gym tomorrow I will e paying for 3 weeks I won't be using. Hmm.

I'm slowly skimming through this thread but thought I would post and say hello. Sorry for the rambling!
