Wow! 53 miles per 8 day! If you ran every other day you did 13 miles per run.... Very admirable. Welcome to the forum!

Olivia11, If you were walking 5 miles per day you can complete this program! Yes, keep walking in between days, add some stretching and core routines. It is OK to repeat day or week or whole program ( I am thinking to redo whole program but faster and bigger incline).

Welcome to the forum! Week 2 is easy. It is more difficult to start than continue! Put some music in your ears and just go...

Hi Becc. Instead of copy/pasting can I just give you a link? http://forums.zenlabsfitness.com/topic/3587-can-i-skip-a-week/#entry17232

Welcome! Yes it is a "rest" day in between runs. I do walks, stretching, core and strength exercises in between. I take one day off per week (and life forces you to move this day around). Here is sample of the core exercise:http://toropov.net/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=fitness:core_routine

When I started the program I read somewhere: "Whatever is your speed on the treadmill, you are running too fast" . Do not worry about your speed. The main objective is complete a day, week, whole program. You can work on the speed later. I started with 2-2.5 mph walk and 2.8-3.2 mph runs. Now I can do 3.5-4 mph walks and 5.8-6.3 mph runs. Bu you have to challenge yourself. If you cannot complete the day exercise - reduce the pace. If I feel good, I would increase speed for the last interval or/and add additional interval to the day.

Congratulation! What a grand finish of C25K! PS It would be great if kids would bring musical instruments and play from start to the finish!

It depends on your current physics, remember - the program is called "couch to 5K". I was staying with the program, but I run every time more than it was required. At the end of the Week 7 I was sure that I can run 5k. The only possible problem is injuries, if you muscles are not ready....

Just press and hold on a day you want to do over....

Yep, three days per week - running, three days - strength exercises, one day rest. Welcome!

My personal take on this - repeat! Otherwise you will be missing everyday virtual "achievement medal"!

First, it could be wise to consult with your physician! Start with walking first. If you can do fast walking for 30min, than try to do first week, but do it very slow. I have herniated disk and was able to complete the program. My pace was very slow at start.

Ezzo, your double runs are quite spectacular... I think you are actually running 10K week 3 May be, if you want to scale down, you can try to do 4x12min runs or 3x15min run?

Potassium (bananas) is always good against muscles cramps.

Mine are mph. I think walking 5mph (=8kph) is quite a challenge . I can manage 4mph walk but no more than that.

I was disappointed as well (5 weeks - only 5# lost). But now I understand that food intake should be managed too. I am only 10# down after completing C25K. And truthfully I could do better job watching my diet. I cannot call it a diet, I continue to eat the same food, but my portions should be smaller, sweets should be gone (I am working on it ) and definetly I should drink more water and do more strength exercises... I think gaining of muscles, changing you life style slowly will pay off. Fast weight lost means only fast gain in the future. It is my believes now!

Cool, I am also down 10lb. I need to remove my sweet tooth tusk

Give up is easy. Lets prove that you are tough and can stick wth the program! Welcome!

10K Trainer (Couch to 10K): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.c10kforpink&hl=en You can look at all days before starting.... And C25K graduates start from week 9

This is 14 weeks Half Marathon training for beginners. The 10K program has option start from beginners or continue for C25K graduates . I guess you can skip few first weeks.
