The first eight weeks of C25K are identical to the first eight weeks of the 10K app. I ended up completing C25K and down loading the 10K. The 10K app gave the option to skip to week 9. Rob

Good work!!

Hope you are starting to get some enjoyment with running. Mind over matter. Rob

It's a lot of once you get over the first couple of weeks. I have 5 K coming up in February...getting excited. Have fun running.

5K...about 1k into the run I realized my playlist ended. It was a nice change actually; felt like I could focus on the breathing a bit better.

Good job!!!

Welcome and enjoy the app. There are a lot of people here to provide support. Rob

Breezee, super!!

How is it going, Laura?

I post them up on "Post your run here" thread in the accountability forum Rob

That sounds like fun having some fellow fitness buddies.

Good Job!!

I've been working with a physical theraptist. They gave me a core strengthening routine (my Gluteus Medius muscles are weak which causing problems for my feet and knees).

4K recovery run

Welcome. The app really works if you put in the time. I started out in pretty bad shape - I've lost 25 lbs and run over an hour (I couldn't have imagined that when I started). Aside from running, logging what I eat in MyFitnessPal has helped out significantly since I'm aware of how much I can eat to lose weight. It also helps in the sense that I don't feel I'm dieting, I'm just making better choices about the amount and what I'm eating. Post up your workout status as you complete days. Don't worry about the pace, just follow the program - the pace will come. You can do this!! Rob

Good job. Having a good set of goals really help. I started running again to lose weight and run a 5 K in 21 - 22 min; I'm now working on half marathon. You can do this.... Rob

Perhaps your core strength is leading to a change in gait or your body isn't quite adjusted to the distances. I found that a bunch of muscles become sore after 5 km.

Good job, you should be proud!!!!

I am really interested to hear how the learn to run class went for you. Any good tips?

Awesome!!

Good job!!

You didn't fail at all. You were out there. I'd repeat the day again; and find the right pace.

Super!! Good job. It does get addictive.

No, that gap isn't too large. When your distances become greater, you may need train at lower intensity since you wouldn't have a whole lot of recovery time between sessions.

That is awesome - quite an accomplishment.
