Guest Lisa K. Report post Posted September 7, 2014 I'm right here with you, except I weigh more. I am on week 1, day 2 and 75% through my run tonight, I got slightly discouraged. I told myself I can do it and I pushed through. I'm doing the c210k ap. This site really helped me realize that I am not alone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Donna Report post Posted September 8, 2014 Just finished day 1 of the 5k program. Wish I could say I felt energized and encouraged like y'all but I don't. Walked the last of the cool down in tears, even. Hate where I am. Don't know if I have what it takes to get to somewhere else. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KellyAnn 281 Report post Posted September 8, 2014 You are all amazing. I am doing the C210k app myself and I am liking it. I love the coaching it gives me. Otherwise i do not think I would do it . lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest KristinaC Report post Posted September 8, 2014 hey! I just finished day one of the C25k. very hard but I'm a plus size girl weighing a bit more than all of y'all. but I'm getting married in March and I don't want to look like this anymore.

alsfroggie 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2014 I am a bit larger than you guys. I am stuck on week 4. I am going slow enough that my chest & breathing are fine, but my calves are so tight I can't finish. Any advice? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sdbeachgirl 16 Report post Posted September 9, 2014 Congrats on your goal! You can do anything you put your mind to, just take it one step at a time and keep moving forward I am a bit larger than you guys. I am stuck on week 4. I am going slow enough that my chest & breathing are fine, but my calves are so tight I can't finish. Any advice? Try taking a break in the middle of your run to do some calf stretches. Also, make sure you're giving your calves some extra love when you stretch after each run. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Rachel Report post Posted December 7, 2014 I am doing week 1 day 3 today. I'm nervous for week 2. At 257 I'm just not comfortable anymore and would like to do a 10k in May. Can anyone share the routine they use for strength training on in between days? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KellyAnn 281 Report post Posted December 7, 2014 Hi there Rachel, Good for you, do not be nervous at all. You got this. Easy peasy. So proud of you. There are some great apps put there for strength training. I usually do that on my no run days. I like Max Muscle for one. One day I train Arms and shoulders, one day butt and legs and abs. At least 2x a week for each one. I'm putting together a 12 week program. Look online too workouts. Let me know how I can help. Hugs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kelly Reilly 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2014 Kelly Ann, I just started W1D1 yesterday and was also wondering about what to do on no run days. You mentioned max muscle app but the one I found in the App Store did not seem like the one you mentioned. Who is it made by? It sounds like a good app. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KellyAnn 281 Report post Posted December 12, 2014 Hey there Kelly. Love the name lol. The app is called Maximum Muscles Free. I just noticed that the one on my phone is there but when I click on it to review it is not there. So maybe that one is gone now. But I do see the other one. I have an Android. I'll check on my iPad too. I love this app. Bodybuilding-apps .com I weight train on the other days, upper, lower, chest, shoulders, butt, legs. Interval speed training. Love it.
