C25K Support Thread

[deniden]

Hi ladies!

 

I wanted to start a support thread for those of us doing C25K, or for people interested in doing C25K.

 

Here is a description of the Couch to 5K running program: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml

 

Here is the workout if you are doing it on a treadmill: http://www.c25k.com/c25k_treadmill.html

 

This is a cool website that will tell you what you should wear, depending on the weather and how you want to feel, if you are running: http://www.runnersworld.com/cda/whattowear/0,7152,s6-240-325-330-0-0-0-0,00.html

I completed C25K 2 or 3 years ago. But when I finished the program, none of my friends were running, and I wasn't a gym member at the time, so I just stopped running.

 

A couple of months ago, I convinced a few of my friends to join Weight Watchers with me, and told some of them about C25K. So, they all did C25K and are now running 5Ks, but I can't because I never kept up with the running. That made me decide to re-do C25K.

 

I re-started Monday, and started at W4D1, since I had completed the program before and felt like I wasn't really "getting off the couch" and had been active in the gym for a couple of months. Yesterday I did W4D2 after a session with my personal trainer and I thought I was going to die, lol. I couldn't even finish the last 5 minute run. My plan for my run tomorrow is to concentrate my energy and do the run first, and lift second, just so I get the successful run in.
