It is this way in the app and other c25k I have found online. Most other schedules build similar ways - 2 smaller runs then longer run at the end of the week. Also it is good for morale of troops

Wednesday (Reduced walk time between runs, Increased total running time, kept running speed 6.1mph) Walk - 0.5 mi, 3.5mph 3 x ( Walk - 0.1mi, 3.5mph; Run - 1.3 mi, 6.1mph) Walk - 0.5mi, 3.5mph * incline 3% for all intervals. Total running time is 3.9 miles! Friday Walk - 0.6 mi, 3.5mph Run - 1.8 mi, 6.1mph Walk - 0.2mi, 3.5mph Run - 1.0 mi, 6.1mph Walk - 0.15mi, 3.5mph Run - 0.7 mi, 6.1mph Walk - 0.3mi, 3.5mph * incline 3% for all intervals.

C25K is just a schedule, it cannot do stats. For stats you'll need another app (MapMyRun, RunKeeper, etc.)

I just spend whole day removing malware from user computer.... Probably this is a reason why I am so suspicious.... User with one post is giving link to the website .me (Montenegro). So be couscous. I would wait while DelSpar100 provides more details about his training. Warrior Spirit Fitness - is known martial art training club, official site is www.warriorspiritfitness.net. They have plenty of youtube videos and you also can check them on Yelp

New week, another Monday Walk - 0.6 mi, 3.5mph Run - 1.7 mi, 6.1mph Walk - 0.3mi, 3.5mph Run - 1.7 mi, 6.1mph Walk - 0.3mi, 3.5mph * incline 3% for all intervals.

AFAIK you can do it with c2k and c10k ("from couch potato to ..") The half/whole marathon are different, not for beginners.You can actually look at all these training schedules (google it) online, most of them are slight variation of each other.. For example: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_4/144.shtml is saying: "Beginner Half Marathon Training Plan (12 week) - For runners who currently run 15 to 25 miles per week and expect to run the half marathon in about 2 hours"

Definitely you should talk about it with your doctor. Accepting advice from the internet could be risky.... Speaking of carbohydrates (and you need them), ask your doc about gluten free oatmeal .

You mean every day? Yes, after 8 month I still have to force myself to exercise. The big help is the forum (Accountability 2016), treadmill at home and, little bit, gym membership. And, of course, that little nasty pedometer that bugs me Other thing to motivate me - ice-cream bar that I can take once a week if I did three days of running!

It seems to me you are bouncing back! The main result for me was that I can complete the daily exercise! If docs clear you for running you will do just fine. Do no rush, take it slow: jogging instead of sprinting. Your main goal should be complete the exercise, do not worry about the speed. Jogging and schlepping is moving too! (You know we have schlepping club here ) Week 1-3 is doable even for old coach potato like I was. Week 4 is a challenge - running time is jumping from 9 min to 16 total. Next step is week 5 day 3 - running 20min strait. But it is more mental then physical at this point. I am sure you will do great. Just stick with the program.

Wednesday Walk - 1 mi, 3.5mph Run - 1.6 mi, 6.0mph Walk - 0.3mi, 3.5mph Run - 1.65mi, 6.0mph Walk - 0.25mi, 3.5mph * incline 3% for all intervals. Friday Walk - 0.7 mi, 3.5mph Run - 1.8 mi, 6.0mph Walk - 0.2mi, 3.5mph Run - 1.8mi, 6.0mph Walk - 0.3mi, 3.5mph * incline 3% for all intervals.

These are all from running?! OK, you got our attention.....

Monday Walk - 1 mi, 3.5mph Run - 1.8 mi, 5.9mph Walk - 0.3mi, 3.5mph Run - 1.8mi, 6.0mph Walk - 0.3mi, 3.5mph * incline 3% for all intervals.

Hmm.... 1 mile in 8 minutes... You are looking at 7.5mph speed. What is your current speed?

I am on Samsung 4A. A is stand for "active" . It is working OK for me

This is "universal" program, but all people are different! Of course it should be adjusted to your abilities. It is recommended schedule only. If you can follow them - good, if not - modify it (repeat, change the walk time, speed, etc) BTW if you search C25K, you can find somewhat different schedules on internet. I have started with printed out C25K for 9 weeks before I have found the C25K 8 weeks program for the smartphone.....

C25K is just a schedule with voice notification, nothing more. For stats and history you need to use other apps. You can also check out MapMyRun. But for treadmill I am getting by with just pedometer and treadmill display....

How old is your dog? Golden and Lab Retrieves (mine is 12 yo) never been long distance runners. They are sprinters. With age it is even more pronounced... If he cannot run with you take him for a walk instead. I also noted that manage dog's diet is much easier then my own - Just reduce the amount of snacks and food... For some reasons it is not working for me, only for my dog

What is good for yoga is not always good for running.... Try to breathe normally, as you do when walking. If your muscles are never sore but you out of breathe while jogging it could be yout breathing technique ... Another trick you can try is switch from time to distance, it feels easier for me. Also remember that week 4 - is biggest increase in run time for whole program! You should not worry about repeats, it is very normal.

Most likely you doing it too fast, reduce your pace. Try to jog as slow as you can (yes as slow as possible). Starting from here try to increase your pace, but you should be able to talk while jogging. Speed is your last goal, first is moving, then endurance... And yes it will get easier with growth of your endurance .

....deleted.... double post

First tip - reduce your pace! Basically jog as slow as you can. You can work on the speed later. Second - it is OK to repeat days or even weeks if you feel that you are not ready for next day/week.

Your phone camera pictures have big resolution (ppi- pixels per inch). That is why your pictures are to large for the profile. You need some special software to reduce resolution. You can try this online tool: http://www.reduceimages.com/ (I never used it myself).

Hi Catherine Glad to here from you. How was your run in Chicago? I assume that social part of the trip was great. Saturday Walk - 1.5 miles, 3.5mph (It took so long to warm up my ankle) Run - 1 mile, 6.1mph Walk - 0.3 mile, 3.5mph Run - 1 mile, 6.1mph Walk - 0.3 mile, 3.5mph Run - 1 mile, 6.1mph Walk - 0.5 mile, 3.5mph * all with incline 3% Monday (all walks - 3.6mph, all runs - 6.1mph, constant incline 3%) Walk - 0.6 mile 5 x ( Run - 0.6 mile, Walk - 0.2 mile ) Walk - 0.6 mile Wednesday (all walks - 3.5mph, all runs - 6.1mph, constant incline 3%) Walk - 0.6 mile 3 x ( Run - 1.0 mile, Walk - 0.2 mile ) Walk - 0.6 mile Friday (all walks - 3.5mph, all runs - 6.1mph, constant incline 3%) Walk - 1 mile Run - 1.5 miles Walk - 0.3 mile Run - 1.5 miles Walk - 0.3 mile Finishing last run interval I realize that I am not ready for 3 miles straight with 6.1 mile speed. I think I need add interval training to get over this bump.....

I am working on my speed now. So, yes, if my joints do not object, three times per week I am running my variations of the program. 2-3 other days is a gym. See my posts in the "Accountability 2016" - Post your Workout for Today Here!

I remember this, it was 6 month ago
