Hi! I just completed my first run on this app and I’m super excited to work hard and stick with it! I am a former collegiate athlete and am not too happy with how I’ve let myself get this far out of shape the last few years. Enough is enough and though it isn’t my immediate goal to get back into my college playing shape, it would be nice to be able to go through drills and explain things to the high school team I’m coaching without being super winded or sore afterward :) I’m also getting married next summer so I’d like to be comfortable with how I look and feel way before and way after the big day. I’d like to not look back at my photos and wonder what the heck happened to me! Anyway, I’m pretty pumped to be in this community and I wish everyone the best of luck with your goals too! We got this!

Hi! I'm Jen and new to running. I am starting this running app as a friend of mine runs and recommended this app. Just wanted to say hello! Jen

This past weekend my wife and I took our kids to Cedar Point in Sandusky, OH. Everything was going great until I tried to ride one one their famous coasters. It’s a ride I’ve been on dozens of times, but this time was a bit different. You see, I didn’t fit into the seat in our chosen row. This was the first time that has ever happened. They directed me to another row that accommodated larger passengers, but I had to wait for the next train. I was mortified. Fast forward to today. Trying to think of ways to get myself more active I remembered the C25K app. It’s been a couple of years since I used it, but wanting to give it another try I actually downloaded the 10K version because, why not? I lost interest in exercise when my first son was born. I didn’t have time to work out, work second shift, and be a full time parent while my wife worked first shift. after weighing myself today I was at a bulky 291 pounds. A far cry from the 210 I weighed when I met my wife. Needing to lose some before our family heads to Disney World in November, I’m trying again.

How'd it go today? I'm just starting C25K today too. I had my phone in a belt at my waist this morning and couldn't hear the cues very well. Ran out and got an armband for my phone and some wireless earbuds this afternoon. I tested them out walking the dog this evening, but we'll see how they do running on Wedesday. Hang in there!

Hello! Just getting going with the app. Right now the weather here isn't fit for running so I am on the treadmill. I purposely restarted week one. Trying to make sure I am adapted before I move to the next week. This is all very new to me but I am determined to succeed!

I'm just starting today. Hopefully you are going strong and ready for your first 5k. Do you have any tips to stay on track and motivated?

Still here and still training. For the most part I have been keeping up with my schedule. It has been a journey. Still keeping my sites on running an entire 5K and I believe I'm on track. I don't get here on the forum quite as much. The weather here has warmed up and that means doing things that have taken a backseat during the winter. Camping, backpacking and motorcycle riding... I'll keep checking in and seeing how everyone is doing. Just a little more lurking than posting going on these days. The turnover on the board seems to fit in with people completing the program, and this makes sense to me. You can always give me a nudge or message me through the forum. Best of luck to everyone and remember... a mile is a mile, no matter how many minutes it takes to finish!

Treadmill Team dor the win!

I’ll also be on a treadmill for now. Michigan weather isn’t fit for running here. Too much snow and ice. I’ll be hitting the gym here in a few hours. Treadmill and 30 minute circuit are what I have planned for today.

How did it go? I did Week 2 Day 2 today. I felt pretty good but I need some help with stretching. My calves get very tight...

Excellent! I restarted week one just to give myself a real chance at succeeding. Tomorrow I’ll be on Week 2 Day 1 Keep me posted on your progress!

I’m starting tomorrow! I’m going to hit it hard for my mental health! Not good weather hear either but I think I’d prefer outside
