blayne Posted March 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Going to do W8D3 and maybe more today then start the 10K app and work up to the 5k distance. I will have to push myself today but its all worth it. ☺ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blayne Posted March 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Starting the 10K app is exciting. I will be looking forward to those walk breaks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhagen02 Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 On W3D1 but after being down a week with a migraine and making a mistake yesterday in the program(somehow was on W5D1 yikes), I am going to try to do W3D1 today which is what I should have done yesterday. LOL I am having a little self doubt that I will be ready for the 5k on May 1st but I assume that is normal. Little hard on myself but migraine meds pretty much knock me out and I cannot risk doing anything on those days. blayne 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blayne Posted March 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Made it 10 minutes into W9D2 and just thought "this really sucks!" and quit. Lol Any ideas? Might try again later. Im not having any motivation today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blayne Posted March 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Really didnt want to but I made it through W9D2. Being able to come on here and tell you guys that I did it motivated me. Also I am signed up for a 5K May 7th. The run was a tough one today. Struggled through it and was barely called jogging but I made it. I hope I will be ready for next week. Three 15 minute runs. Sounds tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natcatvet Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Struggled this morning but got there. My first 5k fun run is Sunday, fingers crossed blayne 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAnon Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 I only have one more run until I graduate from C25K. Gonna start the 10k app next week and I'm very apprehensive. I have to say, however, that coming across this thread is helping me a lot. Sometimes I feel like quitting as well but having had the experience of having to do that and then starting over is enough to make me push through. Look at all the progresses you've made. You don't want to start over and face week 1 all over again. The only possible way is forward. I think you're doing awesome! Thank you so much for sharing how you're doing and for making me see the 10k app is not impossible to run even though it looks like a massive jump. blayne 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blayne Posted March 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Thanks TheAnon! Let me know how you are doing. Tomorrow is run day and I am already telling myself that I dont feel like doing it. Hehe but you are right. I dont want to lose all my progress.

blayne Posted April 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Had a W9D3 fail today. I stopped with 3.5 minutes left. Really struggled with it today. Doesnt make sense because I have done it twice before. Maybe the 10k app is too much for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blayne Posted April 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 For the first time Im going to have to repeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thisisstella Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Hi Blayne, it's ok to repeat. Doesn't do any harm to our bodies and if it means we are better prepared for the next day/week then it's all good blayne 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blayne Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 These longer runs are too much for me. I need my walk breaks to look forward to. I hate running! I did 5K by running 2 min walking 1 min. It was a good workout. Im just doing this for my health. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodie Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Hi Blayne I started Week 9 this week myself and was looking forward to the 1 minute breaks through the routine but having done the 1st session last night I actually thought the breaks took me out of my stride! Think I might run better just keeping going through the session. Just wondering if you use another app alongside the c10k? I use runkeeper to keep me at a specific pace through the run otherwise I'd be goosed after about 15 minutes. Perhaps you're going off too quick? I found that my splits over the 4 miles I was getting slightly quicker as I run and that's mostly through pacing myself right. If you're not tracking your pace I'd strongly advise it. Hopefully you'll start to love running, I used to hate it but the last few months I've grown to love it! Good luck! blayne 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torus_ot Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 blayneFor myself I come to conclusion that I need to loose more pounds before I can do longer distance runs. Otherwise it is too much load on my joints. I will do 5ks + walk +gym + bicycle to burn calories, and get healthier. When I loose 15-20 more pounds I will try 10K again. blayne 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blayne Posted April 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Nice torus. Well today I did W8D3 without any problems. I will call that a long distance run for me. I was just being a wimp before. haha I will try the 10K app again soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodie Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 "If I quit now, I will soon be back to where I started. And when I started I was desperately wishing to be where I am now". Read this today, a great quote and one I'll recall regularly on this journey! Laura J and Jigi 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catlynk Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 I don't like the walk breaks with Week 9 either. On day three I decided to run 3.3miles. I'm gonna increase each week (by .15-.25). My main goal is to make it through a 5K with extra "go power" at the finish line instead of being all spent up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blayne Posted June 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 Falling in love with running again. Was having major heart palpitations and thought i would have to stop. Quit the drug vivanse and they went away so im happy. Was on that for binge eating disorder. Haha. W9D3 in two days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blayne Posted June 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Bah! I dont want to go today. Should do W9D3 or just try and run 5K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
