    Just popping in to say hi. I started C25k this week, and want to tell someone I'm doing it so they can hassle me and make me feel guilty if I miss a session. So here I am, due to do W1D3 tomorrow. Doing ok so far, but omg, the houses in this neighbourhood have really boring gardens! I guess it'll take me a while to find a more interesting route. Using the Get Running app, and happy with it so far - usually the accent or tone of the speaker on this kind of thing annoys me after a while, so it's a pleasant surprise to like the voice!

    horribly long day at work so run out of question, but I did walk 2kms home at a fast pace. Going to crawl into bed soon as I only slept about 4 hours (between 4am & 8am).

    I started this on the weekend me. LOL. I'm not sure how I'll go during the week fitting things in but I really want to do this. I had started before my pregnancy but with pelvis troubles from 9 weeks, I had to stop. Now DH is more interactive with DS I feel I can leave them to amuse themselves for a while so I can have some much needed me time.

    Having said that, I should be doing day 2 of week one tonight but think I'll leave it to tomorrow. Is that sending mixed messages??

    Hi everyone. I've restarted this after about a year off when I got to week 3 and carked it.
    Yesterday I did week 5 day 1. OMG!! I cannot believe I can run for that long now. My next run is 8min intervals and day 3 scares the daylights out of me!

    So cman went to the gym creche like he does when I go to classes but jeez it's hard to do on a treadmill! Other than having to adjust it all the time, I almost stacked it at one stage!

    Hi everyone, love seeing ap many people all working to be a happier healthier self. I have thrown the c25k program out the window, but planning on starting it again hopefully next week.

    I have been active though doing 3 gym sessions and 3-5run/walks a week. Just doing as much as I can.

    I run on the road with DD who is 2 in the pram. She love it and asks to go because she gets a muesli bar and some other snacks.

    Weird... just did the first run of week 2, and actually found the minute and a half runs easier than the one minute runs. I'm pretty sure it was because less disturbances from 'Get Running's instructions meant I got more distracted by the TED talk I was listening to, so the time flew by quicker.

    Wouldn't it be nice if that effect continued as the runs got even longer??? (I'm pretty sure it's not going to keep working that way though.)

    I've just been put on antibiotics for bronchitis (that has flared up in the last couple of days - had a cough - this morning went green phlegm on me ) So Dr has banned this until I can stop coughing up stuff! He is ok with light walking but nothing to push me

    I run outside. I wait until hubby is home after work and I head off around 5.30pm and incorporate my c25k session into a 12km walk/jog.
    I can't join a gym as I'm super rural and it's just too far and I don't have a treadmill, but I do enjoy running outside along the country roads (except when I ingest several thousand flies... but I guess it's all good protein, right?)

    I just want to let you all know, you CAN do it. I'm a VERY VERY big girl and I'm going to attempt 8 minute runs tonight if the rain holds off a little... 8 MINS!! OMG!! Don't let one day that hasn't gone so well set you back. Push through it.

    Hi all,

    How you don't mind me jumping in? But do any of you have a c25k iPhone app you could recommend?
