Hi I have worked my way up to doing the versa app (had to start with 30 second intervals and can now do 1 min ones. I have a couple of questions. 1. Where can I find the actual written programme so I can see how it progresses. 2. How can I repeat a week if the progress is too slow. So far all I have been able to find is to delete the app and reinstall it. There must be a way to skip forward and back, right? Thanks a lot

Hello! I'm a middle-aged mom returning to running after taking a few years off. I completed C25K several years ago, then continued training and ran a few 5ks, a 5 mile race, and two half-marathons. Then I got lazy and depressed and I stopped running. I gained a lot of weight. I was so stressed out about my job, I started grinding my teeth in my sleep and I was having SVT episodes (rapid heartbeat). My doctor said that I had to reduce stress. In July of this year, I decided that I had enough and started C25K again. I also started eating low carb again. I've completed C25K, and I am working

Hi everyone! I'd like to post my experience on being an absolute beginner to running and getting to the 10k mark. I found it very difficult in the beginning, and wanted to share some things I've learned and some tips that will hopefully help others. I started off doing the Zenlabs C25K and moved straight up to their 10K app. My fitness level was average, and all my running was done on a treadmill. It took 12 weeks and I'm 47 yrs. old. When I first started out it was hard. I mean, OMG I really wanted to get each running session over with. I hated it, complained to myself all the

I’m trying out the power playlists available within the C25K app and I love the music so far, but my question is...will that subscription transfer over to other zenlab apps? I would like to move on to the 10k and half marathon, but I currently can only play the playlists from the c25k app.

Hello Fitness / Running Experts, While doing running portions of C25K, 10K or marathon run/walk programs, 1) can one be running too slowly? 2) if they are too slow, is it really running, or is it fast walking mistaken as running? I believe I can instinctively say that I am doing running, although it's very slow. How do I make sure that it is not slow to a point where it is impacting relevance of the program or below the minimum running speed expectations of the program. How do I improve upon such issues? Thank you for helping! Background: I started with C25K and then on week 3 s

Hello - beginner here - I'm trying to stay motivated and loving my C25K app but wondered if there is a way to keep the voice prompt telling me when to run and walk at the intervals but STOP telling me which round of running I'm on? I have a hard time not feeling like "UGH I have 4 more runs to go!?!?" I am way better at going HAM on the music I'm listening to and not knowing how many run intervals I have left and being pleasantly surprised when I complete the mission. Thanks! Summer

Hi! So I've never run a race aside from grade school back in the 90s. I'm 36, just had my 2nd baby 7.5 weeks ago. I am a Massage therapist and have worked the ironman massage tent even when I was 8 months pregnant twice... Got inspired and now I want do so a 5k in 10 weeks. Am I crazy? Where do I even start... I never work out but have stamina and figured at the very least I can power walk this race

Last year(16) I decided that I needed to improve my fitness and lose a little weigh as I was starting to feel a bit blaaa. I have never been a runner, but wanted to give it a try. I started with the c25k app... really struggled running for even the shortest time. Gradually I improved a little and could run for 20 mins slowly without stopping. As it started to get dark before I got home from work I stopped running around the country lanes(scared I might get run over) and stopped for a few months. I then got a treadmill in feb 17and from March 17 I set myself a goal of running 3 times a week for

Super excited I found this free app to keep me motivated along with my fitness pal and Pacer to keep up with my steps. Just wish I could connect the C25k to MFP. Anybody have an idea?? Thanks & super day to y'all.

So, C25K seems to be burning through my battery, even when I turn off back ground app refresh. I've don't workouts in the last week, the last being Monday morning, but the app accounts for 16% of may battery usage in the last 24 hours (all after I finished my workout yesterday morning, 17.3 hours of background usage, 0 time one screen) and 17% of my battery usage for the last week (1.2 hours on screen, so my two workouts, and 114.6 hours of background usage!). I have background app refresh turned off, and had location services set to "while using the app" until the last iOS beta software updat

So, been using C25K and enjoying it. I have my phone set to allow the C25K to use my location "while using the app". But I have noticed that it keeps on tracking my location even after I've finished my workout and closed the app. Not that I don't trust you guys, but c'mon, you don't need to follow me home to make sure I'm OK! Is there a way to fix this? Am I missing a step or setting?

I started c25k last week, finished w2d2 yesterday. I love running, but don't quite have the stamina for a full 5k yet, so here I am! I also weigh over 200 pounds (5'6") so it's slow going, but I am improving! Nice to meet you all.

I have used the C25K app and now am on the 10K free app. Out of curiosity, I downloaded the 13.1 app. But this seems a totally different kind of app. Very little running. Run 4min/walk 2min? What is that all about? I can do that in my sleep. I expected the app to be more brutal than the 10K app. Am I missing something?

Hi, I just turned 39 on Saturday and am from West Midlands in England. I started and completed C25k in 2009. Felt such a sense of achievement when I completed it. Once complete I started a one hour runner programme but cant for the life of me remember what happened - but suddenly I didn't do it anymore. I go tot the gym and do lots of spinning classes each week - really love it Anyway, as a teacher, I am on my summer break and thought what a great challenge to complete C25K again and this time, keep it up! As I go spinning I already have a level of fitness so decided to start on wee

i have completed the C25K training and my first 5k is in 2 1/2 weeks. I have a 2 part question. 1. What should my plan be to gear up for a race? Just keep running 3 mi on say Mon, Wed, Fri. or Tuesday Thursday. 2. What should my plan be after that? Same thing? Mon, wed, fri or Tuesday , Thursday or maybe the 10k trainer, knowing that 5k would be easier if I could run further? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. God Bless!

Hi All, I have an iPhone that I run (either outside or on an inside track). I would like to use my iPad on my treadmill. Does anyone know if you can sync C25K progress on the two devices? Thanks. Rich

Hi. I'm a newb with C25k and honestly I don't use music on my Android very often. I'd like to play music while I run. However, I can't get the C25k app to find my Google playlists it does find some 10-year old Apple playlists which somehow migrated to my phone (I do not have the Apple player). What do I have to do to get the app to discover that Google playlist? Thanks.
