CeLisa,  I started C25K almost 6 weeks ago and could not be happier with the program!  I thought I would have to repeat days or weeks, but I haven't.  It is a really great program and you can trust it to not let you down!  Good luck out there!

Just started yesterday. Found this forum while searching for more information on just exactly what I was doing. I'll motivate you if you motivate me! I've been doing P90X for the last few months and decided I would try running as my next challenge. I thought that because I had been doing P90X that running would be a piece of cake but I was wrong. About a week ago I decided to try going all out and ended up with VERY sore legs within the first 5 minutes. Breathing was good though. P90X helped prepare me for that part of it. The soreness in my legs caught me total surprise though. So I had to face the facts and admit to myself that I was just a beginner and that I need to find a training program. And that's how I came across C25K. And like I said, started yesterday, and while the soreness was there it was so much better than my adventure in running a week ago. As of right now I don't know if I'm going to keep do the weight training part of P90X on my off days from running or if the running is going to be good enough and I'm going to stop P90X all together. I'm thinking since running isn't going to work my chest, shoulders, and arms very much I should probably stick with those workouts on my off days.. Make those my "strength days" as opposed to my "running/cardio days." Anyways, that's my story. I'm here for ya if you need the motivation or support! Good luck on your run today!!!

Today is my first day as well.  I am a little nervous because I have not worked out in a while, although I do a lot of walking.  I wish you the best!

Hi CeLisa,

I am with you girl. I have been meaning to start C25k for some time but have been stalling and tomorrow morning will be my W1D1. Best of luck to you and congratulations to the rest who have finished their day one. I have been doing some Strength training DVDs and want to add a cardio to it. Lets be there for each other till the end and I am sure all of us can reach our goals. I am looking to sign myself up for 5k end of July ...that should help me get to the finish line.

Take care

I started yesterday morning!  I am so glad I found this.  I am excited to hear how others are doing.  I have a few questions and I'm hoping someone could help me out. 

How do you know if you need to repeat a week or even a day? 

I am running at high altitude (7500ft).  I come from the coast (& will eventually go back) but is there anything special I need/should know? 

I'm feeling good today!  My tush is a little sore but not unbearable.  Looking for something to do on my "off days". 

Just finished my W1D1. Towards the end my legs were killing me but eventually I pulled through. This is my 2nd time doing C25K. Last year around the same time I did my first 5k. Once I finished, I stopped running and now after more than 10 months I am back to square 1. This time I am hoping to keep going even after I graduate from C25k. Most likely tomorrow I will do one of my Jillian Michael's DVD for strength training.

Happy running,

Fariha
