catlynk Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 JDavis congrats!! I just completed day 5 of week 2 (doing extra days) I'm 54 Years old and 80 pounds over weight. You con do this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torus_ot Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 W8D3 now i start the 10k app I just finish W8D3 too... I did 28min with 5.1mph (previous day was 4.9). To complete 3.1m have to add 10 more minutes. Through the run I was slowly increasing incline from 0.5 to 2. I will continue at least one more week with 30min run. I need to increase my pace and incline. I am not ready for 10k commitment yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catlynk Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Just finished my 6 the day of week 2. Monday I will start week 3, for you veterans out there should I take tomorrow off? Week 3 looks really challenging with three minutes of running, especially since I'm caring 80 extra pounds of weight and I'm in my 50s. Any advice is appreciated.

Week 3 looks really challenging with three minutes of running, especially since I'm caring 80 extra pounds of weight and I'm in my 50s. Any advice is appreciated. I do taking one day per week off (Sat. or Sun.). But I always try to keep my steps count around 12k every day, so I suggest walk and stretch.

catlynk Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Week 3 day 1 completed, and I am so psyched! I really feel like this program is working and building my cardio endurance. Three weeks ago if you told me I would be running for three solid minutes I would've laughed in your face but today I did it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob129 Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Good job. It feels really good when you hit a goal or reach a new milestone. catlynk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torus_ot Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Week 9, Day 1 for me was tough... I did complete 30 min ran and then added 11 more minutes to get to the 5k distance. The speed was 5.3mph, my planned increase 0.2 from previous run. I think I stick with this speed for the next run, i do not fill that I am ready for the 5.5 mph yet.

Jellybelly Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Week 2 day 2 found it a little harder today. I think my mood probably had something to do with it. But I am glad and proud of myself for getting out in the first place and trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blayne Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 W9D1. Difficult. Glad I have 2 more times to practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torus_ot Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 ....I think I stick with this speed for the next run, i do not fill that I am ready for the 5.5 mph yet. I was wrong. Today I ran 38min with 5.5 mph. But I did not like how I was feeling. Last 5 min I have to reduce incline from 1% to 0... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torus_ot Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Week 9, day 3. Beginning was horrible. Sharp pain in left calf (probably got cramped last night), sore right hip joint. I was tempted to move this run to Saturday but I glad that I didn't... Ran 30 min with speed 5.5mph plus 4 more min with 3.6mph and completed 5K! I think I do at least one more week running 5K. Not ready to switch to 10K program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
