Timb113 Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 I started the program three times in the past year and completed it just this past week. I didn't think I'd get through the 90-second runs, and then the greatest obstacle became the 20-minute run in week 5. Finally, the 30 minutes of running and running in my first 5K. I've walked a few 5Ks and earlier this summer I walk/jogged one, but this morning, I ran the entire 5K, placing eighth of 21 in my age group. That wasn't what mattered -- it was the great feeling of not giving in to the urge to walk at any point (which came about a dozen times). I set a time goal, which I beat by more than a minute, but that didn't matter as well. Doing it, seeing my clothes fitting better, and losing weight are what has made it worth it. Knowing that I'll be able to live longer and spend more time with my kids made it worth it. And now, knowing that I'm going to move on to C210K and step up to the next level is making it worth it. I always hated running. I played sports in school like golf and baseball -- because we didn't have to run. Well, you can officially call me a runner. And I'm loving the path it's taking me down!

Guest chelay Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Do you just run and not do any other exercise? I'm curious if ut will help me lose weight or inches even w/o doing weights. I just started. Tomorrow will be my week 1 day 3. How soon have you seen results? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just started. Tomorrow will be my week 1 day 3. How soon have you seen results? There's been some times when I cross-trained on my mountain bike. But mostly I just run, usually every other day. I do need to start a weight-lifting program, it would definitely help. Keep this in mind...nutrition plays a huge role. I know it's easy to fall into the trap of "I'm running, so therefore I can eat whatever I want". While it's true to an extent, putting in healthy items will speed up the loss of inches/pounds.
