Malva Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Yes, I did! I finished yesterday. It did take 3 months instead of 9 weeks LOL but I did it. Hard to believe that when I started I could barely finish the one-minute interval sessions, and now, only a short time later, I can run for 30 minutes. This is especially amazing when I reflect on all the things I have put in place to support finishing this program - I have integrated exercise time into my weekly schedule, I have learned and practiced dynamic stretching, good posture and breathing, I have worked to improve and maintain the running trail on my property, I have spent hours trying on shoes and have improved my overall quality of life through the purchase of two good pairs of running shoes. I have enjoyed a guaranteed time to listen to podcasts or audio books - the more I run, the farther I get in my book LOL. YAY! for c25k Now to keep up the running now that the training program is over... Quote Level 1 Earth Mother Druid STR-2 DEX-1 STA-3 CON-3 WIS-3 CHA-3 Link to comment

Vader Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Congrats, Gem - I remember how it felt when I finished C25K last year! Working on Bridge To 10 K now - 5 more weeks to running 10K in an hour. Keep it going! [Vader breathing/James Earl Jones voice] "Join me... it is your destiny!"

Malva Posted April 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Just finished Week 6 this morning.Good work! I really enjoy the interval running more than the long runs, and I have gone back and repeated a few of the week 6ish 10 min interval runs.That is really awesome! A truly great accomplishment, congratulations! Are you planning on running any 5k's or anything like that?I don't know - although I can run for 30 mins it is definitely not 5K lol. I need to find a really ssslllllooooowwww partner to run with me.Congrats, Gem - I remember how it felt when I finished C25K last year! Working on Bridge To 10 K now - 5 more weeks to running 10K in an hour. Keep it going![Vader breathing/James Earl Jones voice]"Join me... it is your destiny!"[/Vader breathing/JEJ voice]Damn you Vader! I had decided that I wasn't going to go into the 10K training, but since you mentioned it I have a sudden urge to go browse in the Dark Side (i.e. app store).

I need to find a really ssslllllooooowwww partner to run with me. . Yeah I can run a 5k but I have to run at a pretty slow pace. I'm planning on doing warrior dash with 2 friends this summer, so that'll be fun.
