It depends on your weight and intensity. Try to do this on treadmill, setting your weight. It is not exact number, usually treadmills give 20% error. But burned calories are never exact numbers, just estimate.

The C25K app is just a schedule. To keep stats you will need other apps. Try RunKeeper or MapMyRun. I track my steps with Garmin Express since I use Garmin Vivofit pedometer.

I have problems with my joints too. I think daily long exercises with my weight is too much for my joints. I reduce my running time to 3 days/per week. I do walking in between, but I replaced most of the walking (especially steps) with exercise bike - much less load on my joints. Try it.

Caitlin The exercise should be challenging but not exhausting. The bigest jup in the running time is from week 3 to week 4 - 75% increase. Second is W5D3 (you can find few topics about it on this forum). So if you cannot breath after running - you are running too fast! Your first goal is to complete the program. You can work on the pace later (that is what I am doing now).

The program is running 3 days per week! You can do Monday - Wednesday-Friday or other days.You can move your Friday exerciser to Saturday. But the important part - try to stick with the program.

I have the same problem as you are - I am running after work. Skipping full dinner 3 times per week is difficult and useful for me. I usually take some light but high calories snack: banana, energy bar, trail mix, yogurt. 30 min is good waiting time before the run. After run I am also trying not to stuff myself with heavy dinner: steamed vegetables, baked fish or just farmer cheese with fruits or jams. And if I can find some cookies I destroy them too

4th week is a huge increase in running time - 75%. On my first C25K I got it quite easy, since my pace was very slow. On my second C25k (6.5mph, 3% incline) I also stuck. I know I can reduce the pace of running and I will get it. But my goal this time is get the pace I want. So I am slowly preparing myself for this speed. For the first timer I would definitely reduce the pace. Also you may try week 3.5 : 3 min running, 2 min walking, 4 -7 intervals. After that 16 min of run (W4D1) should go easier.

Thursday: 3.7 miles walk - 3.6mph, 2% incline Friday (4.25 miles): 0.3mile walk - warm up 5 x ( 0.5mile run, 0.2mile walk) 1min bonus run - 8mph, 1% incline 0.3 mile walk - cool down Walks - 3.5mph, runs - 5.5mph, all with 2.5% incline except bonus run.

it is working for me (android, Samsung 4a). It does not work completely on my old Asus tablet. Check with costumer support. I hope you download it from google play store

And some free time and some skills I can (and I like) to cook. But to do it daily?

After holiday break (AKA long weekend fishing/drinking/eating) I am back to my treadmill. Tuesday: 4 miles in 60 min (it includes few 1 min and 2 min intervals of 7mph running) Wednesday Morning workout - 2.2 miles in 30min, it includes two running intervals: 1) 0.5mi running with slow increasing speed from 5.5 to 6.2 mph 2) 6 min run with 6mph Evening workout - 2.2 miles in 27 min: 5 min warm up - 3.5 mph 1.5 miles - 5.5 mph (about 17 min) 5 min cool down - 3.5 mph All is done with 2.5% incline

How the food itself? Do you feel hungry if you stay with it? I can't do this. I cannot think without sugar

Monday Workout 1 Run - 7mph, walk - 3.6mph, Incline for both is 3% 10 min warm up 8 x ( 1 min - run; 1.5 min - walk) 10 min walk Workout 2 run - 5mph, walk - 3.5mph 5 min walk, 2% incline "Up hill" 5 min run, starting with 2% incline and increasing incline by 0.5% every 30 seconds "Down hill" 5 min run, starting with 6.5% incline and decreasing incline by 0.5% every 30 seconds 3 min walk "Bonus" run - 1 min, 8mph, 0% incline 10 min walk.

Another app has been mentioned here is RunKeeper.

1. Get more potassium in your diet (banana?) 2. Too much pace for your current state of fitness or too long stride? 3. Bad shoos or bad technique? 4. Cold muscles (not enough warm-up). .... 99. Your body did not feel like running today Don't be discouraged. Take it easy (pace, stride). If the pain is persistent - take a break from running.

Friday I forgot to put on my pedometer after morning shower.... When I came back from work, 14k steps where waiting for me. It is almost 7 miles.... First workout: all walks - 3.6mph, 3% incline; all runs - 6.5mph, 3% incline; 10 min - warm up walk. 5 x (2 min run, 2 min walk) 12 min cool-down walk Total 3 miles, 42 min Rest 20 min. Second workout: all walks - 3.5mph; 2.5% incline; all runs 7mph, 1% incline 5 min - warm up walk 12 x ( 1 min run, 1.5 min walk) 5 min - cool-down walk Total 3 miles, 40 min Rest - 30 min 10 min walk - 0.6 miles and 14k steps done!

I think it could be a good topic in Food, Nutrition Diet sub-forum. It is hardly sub-forum by itself

My legs felt tired, I was in doubt how it will go today... But CCR's oldies helped... Higher speed of walking, more time of running.... Wednesday 5 Min warm up 3.6mph, 2.5% incline 5 x ( 3 min run - 5.8mph, 3%; 2 min walk - 3.6mph, 2.5%) 4 x ( 1 min run - 7mph, 2%, 2 min walk - 3.6mph, 2.5%) 11 min cool down 3.6mph, 2.5% incline Still far away from my goal 6.5mph, 3% incline for week 4, but I think I can make it now. But I want eliminate any chance of failing, so I continue my "baby steps" approach.

One of my biggest disappointments was that running (or other types of physical activities) did not give me weight loss. I also need to change my eating habits. Do not worry, any loss can easy be compensated by one or two slices of pizza . In fact if your body is lean and you grow some muscles you could gain some pounds.

I am using MapMyrun (Android). I've seen other apps have been mentioned here. http://forums.zenlabsfitness.com/topic/3493-where-are-the-stats/?hl=stats Or just search apps store for the app.

Good job, Blayne! Saturday: My legs were tired from previous day gym and morning lawn mowing. So I took it easy. Besides when I finish workout I already got 14k steps on my pedometer.

Nope. The app is just a schedule. For stats you need to use another app.
