Yay Sinead! That's fantastic!
32-33 sounds pretty damned good for 5k. Well done you!

I am so glad I started this programme. Went out for a run today and loved being out when the weather was so gorgeous. If I hadn't started this I would probably have sat in the house and missed the day.

Completed Week 1 day 2 on Monday (possibly not the wisest idea before a 90 min dance rehearsal where we had to give 100% (rather than just going through the moves to learn a choreography) for the entire time for this style of hyperactive arabic dance (hope the link works) Sabrina dancing Iraqi Style with the Babylon Band in Bradford - YouTube .
Thankfully I don't ache anywhere near as much as I expected and should be off out again tonight for day 3.

Just found this thread. Really, really want to have a go at C25k - but am still very big, despite having lost nearly 2 stones. Downloaded the MP3 for my ipod - now just got to get out there and give it a go (have located industrial estate near me that seems like it might be nice and quiet in the evenings!) xxx

You'll be grand Becky. Just remember that we all had Day 1 Week 1. It's not easy but you'll be amazed at what you can do if you stick with the programme. Just take it slowly.

No I didn't repeat any but a wouldn't say I exactly sailed through either. I knew I had a race on the very last day of the programme so I was very disciplined in going out every second day & doing the session I had scheduled. Definitely some days were very tough & I wasn't sure I could do it but I just kept thinking of the great group on this thread that kept telling me just to try my best & see what happens. It worked for me anyway.
Tonight was one of my best runs yet. I did a great time & it was just a lovely night for it. I really love going out for my run now.

Thanks Sinead - that is good to hear. I so want to get to the stage where I love running! I've come across so many people in my life who've been bitten by the running bug and had amazing results. It was a beautiful evening last night for a run. How far did you run? I am planning to start the programme this weekend. Will keep coming on here 'cos it makes me accountable lol! xxx

I ran about 5k and walked about 1k between my warm up & cool down.
I know what you mean about being accountable when you come on here. I thought about it like that too. x

I may have completed week 1 day 3 but I'm not sure, as previously menioned I'm currently having phone problems so the app isn't available. I have however, been out for 30 minutes and covered 2 miles swapping between running and walking, just not for the set times. Can't wait till I can go out and just run for the full 30 minutes.
Even though this is only my third run, I'm already noticing how much better feel at the end of a run.
