Monday All with 3.0% incline Walk 0.6mi, 3.5mph Run 1.2mi, 5.9mph Walk 0.6mi, 3.5mph Run 1.2mi, 6.1mph Walk 0.6mi, 3.5mph

Just press on the day you want to reset and hold.

First the program is to do three exercises per week every other day. The rest of the days you can do just walking, stretching or strength exercises. Second, you do have plenty of time to complete the program 'til October 2017. I am sure that you will do this if you stick with the program. Third - it is OK to repeat the day or week to be sure that your body is ready for the next challenge. Back problem is well known (for me). You need to improve your core muscles. For example do this routine or google it.

it is assumed that after completing the program you either continue running on regular bases or move one to the C10k. First eight week of the C10k are the C25k. So it is totally up to you.

Welcome to the forum! DO NOT postpone your firs run 'till "next day" or Monday. Just do it today, when you make this decision. First step is very important, stick with the program and keep us posted about your progress.

Saturday (took rest on Friday, but walk 12k steps) All with 3.0% incline Walk - 0.55mi, 3.5mph Run - 1.7mi, 6.1mph Walk - 0.2mi, 3.5mph Run - 1.8mi, 6.1mph Walk - 0.3mi, 3.5mph

I would argue that "dieting for looks" and healthy eating are two different things. At least in this context. The rest of you statement seems to be indisputable.

I would think that you need to train for both speed and endurance, so alternate long runs days with speed intervals training. I also think you need seek more advice from pro-runners...

Rest Day - Did not have time go to the gym (home DIY project), so i punished my treadmill instead. Thursday Walk - 1.0mi, 3.6mph Run - 1.2mi, 6.3mph Walk - 1.0mi, 3.6mph All with 3.0% incline

I assume the goal is reduce weight. In this case you need add dieting too. BTW you did not specify what is "eating normally". I started the program 9 month ago (BMI was almost 34). Lost about 20lb without dieting, just trying to reduce sweets intake.BMI is down to 30.5

it is normal, but you could reduce the pace if it is too much

Started re-flooring in one bedroom today and have to cut off some time from the exercise... Wednesday Walk - 0.4mi, 3.5mph Run - 2.0mi, speed from 5.8 to 6.4 mph, average is 6.03mph Walk - 0.4mi, 3.5mph All with 3.0% incline

No, you need another app for this. MapMyRun or similar

3 miles 3 times per week is not very close to the 20 km (~12mi). But it is doable

I agree with Kateliterally. I am zombie in the morning and two hours are needed to revive myself

Tuesday - rest day (after very heavy load at work in August and September I am back to the gym) Exercise bike - 5mi, 20min Walk - 0.6mi, 3.5mph, 3.5% incline Run - 0.7mi, 6.0mph, 3.5% incline Run - 0.3mi, 6.5mph, 3.5% incline Walk - 0.32mi, 3.5mph, 3.5% incline

Last week final run (3mi, 6.2mph, 3% incl.) was kind of tough, so I decided to try something different - increase incline and reduce speed _or_ reduce incline and increase speed. And it felt much better than monotonous 3mi run. Monday, - 0.6mi, 3.5mph, 3.5% incline - 2,0mi, 6.1mph, 3.5% incline - 0.3mi. 3.5mph, 3.5% incline - 1.0mi, 6.5mph, 2% incline - 0.35mi, 3.5mph, 3.5% incline

Now choose next goal and conquer it too! Congrats!

Felt tired on Friday and move my running day to Saturday. Saturday, - 0.5mi, 3.5mph - 3.0mi, 6.2mph - 0.5mi, 3.3mph * All with 3% incline

We are all wishing you luck. But it is 3 days per week

I will go with this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grain_of_salt

obviously we cannot (and we should not) to make medical diagnosis. The pain is part of making your body to do what it was not doing for years. But persistent pain should be taking seriously. Try to take extra easy exercises and slowly increase them. If the pain will come back - talk to your doctor. Internet is full of advises but you should not trust them (of course, my advise is exception )

Breezee, way to go! Just two more runs to complete the program! Back to treadmill (I like treadmill, since numbers motivate me more than anything else) Wednesday, - 0.6mi, 3.5mph - 2,3mi, 6.2mph - 0.2mi. 3.5mph - 1.0mi, 6.2mph - 0.3mi, 3.5mph * All with 3% incline Total running distance 3.3mi
