Hi everyone,

this is our third week in the Couch to 5K program. This is designed to be a 9 week program, but you can repeat weeks (as I will be doing) until you are comfortable moving on. However, you are not supposed to skip weeks.

It has been strongly suggested by trainers and runners alike to NOT run on consecutive days.

More information can be found here: Cool Running :: The Couch-to-5K Running Plan

Attached are the first thru third weeks in detail

Anyone is free to join, no matter where we are!!

This is the place to check in and support with each other and see how it is going.

What week are you doing?

How is it going for you? Is it too difficult / too easy?

Any comments??

Good luck everyone!

O i nearly forgot!! Today Week 3 workout 4? And then i swam for 30 mins. O i get to walk around the neighbours with my little one tonight to. That should count for something...hmm maybe my 6 and 7 yr old want to run for 3 min and walk for 3 min while we collect candy!

LOL whos .. c25k for kids ... ready set go ... get candy, go, get candy, run run run!!!

i love my bugg ... it really is a motivational machine for me. like last night, i saw i had to burn 160 more cals before i went to bed so i played on our Nintendo Wii ... it's great!!!

i did week 2 day 2 today ... my thighs are killing me.

i checked my body bugg when i got home from work yesterday ... 16.2 cals / minute was my max while i was running. awesome!!!

Thats awesome losing...I figured out why my figures were so high on my heart rate monitor, I didn't set my %HR right. Now the figures are pretty close to yours. I wish they were really as high as before!

Good looking calves eh? well lets see the picture!

If I ever figure out how to insert a damn picture!

Sorry, but what is a body bug? Sounds ominous!! JK, is it a calorie counter that you wear on yourself? A pedometer thing?

Thanks, new to this exercise.

Thanks

Cindy
