Woot! Finished first 5k in 23:43, 2nd in my age group (25-29) and 22nd overall! I was amazed at my time. I was going for under 26 minutes and figured I'd be doing great if I was under 25 minutes. Would have never thought I would have run in under 24! Thank you guys for all the encouragement and look forward to progressing more using the c210k app. Run on all my friends!

Right on Mike!!!

My names Mike to. Someone change my forum name to MetricMike!!!
 
Seriously Mike. Glad to know you're diggin it! Keep fighting!

Limited and a trike? Nice bikes! I don't need all that yet, but at times would be nice! My wife would like the tourpak but she's also wanting to learn how to ride...may be a sportster or something in our near future!

I've been going strong so far. A little sore at times, but nothing major. I'm averaging a little over 2.5 miles in the 30 minutes. Seems like a lot right? but I know it's accurate. I've got a garmin fenix I run with and google maps agrees with the distance. But I've been really enjoying the run, and am looking at doing my first 5k on March 14. Will keep you all posted!

Hello there, this morning I completed the scary week 5 day 3 and... I've nailed it ! I wasn't sure I could do it but once I started running I knew I could just go all the way to the end of 20 mins . This program really works, you just need to commit and enjoy.
 
Just 6 months ago I was completing chemotherapy following a mastectomy for breast cancer. I was so weak that I couldn't lift my legs to climb stairs.  One month after chemo I started to walk, first just at the end of the driveway and back , but little by little I started to regain energy and lose some weight. I weighted 95kg at the end of treatment , I was so bloated on steroids I could not recognised myself, but now, after months of clean healthy eating and exercising I am 84kg and committed to lose another 15kg.
 
So this morning I ran 20 minutes non stop. Words cannot express how happy and grateful I am to be alive and healthy.
 
If an overweight, 42yrs old mum of two, cancer survivor , ex (20 years) smoker can do it , you can do it too. Super excited now to see how the rest of the training will go.
 
Have a great weekend everybody

Metric, Harley, they're both bikes! I just love riding in general! I've been living in Florida for 2 years now and love the riding year round here. Moved from Chicago so was a huge change!

I just noticed the name. I want family pics ( You know. The bike!! )

Good morning, my name is Mike, 29 years old, married and have a 3 year old son, Mikey III. Just started c25k last Thursday. Just got back from my run of w2d2. Been going strong so far. Had some health issues about 2 months ago (rhabdomyolysis, if any of you are in the medical field) that put me in a hospital and practically useless for about 2 weeks, but feeling great now! Look forward to being encouraged on here, and to see how you all are doing!
