    I will! I did it a few months ago outdoors, but am finding it really difficult to swap to treadmill running at the gym so have been thinking about starting again

    I have downloaded Nicole blum's podcasts for the timing and also have the iPhone app.

    Ready when you are!

    a friend of mine did it and worked wonders! and she was really unfit...went from doing nothing to do it.
    i would love to do it...if only i had the power...
    maybe i will...but i will really need the biggest push to do it! cause im still not convinced

    I'm in! I started it a while ago then got pregnant with DD so kinda didn't finish. I did mine a mix on the xtrainer and outdoors. I want to do it for the structure and routine.

    I want to give this a go too! Will also be starting tomorrow

    I don't have an Iphone or an actual 'Ipod' as such, I have an MP3 player, can I still download the 'instructions' for the timing etc? I asssume that's what you gys are talking about? Would be a PITA to have to time the 60 & 90 second intervals myself and I doubt I have the motivation to keep that coordination up just yet haha!

    Am I still able to download them for a normal MP3 player? Where do I find the downloads?

    Thanks girls!

    Alicia, yep you can use any mp3 player. If you go to the c25k website, they have some links there, otherwise just google couch 2 5k mp3 tracks

    I'm in. I started around new years but my knee and back have been playing up last week, so I am re-starting and doing it in twice the time, so week 1 I will do twice ect. Just so my body doesn't freak out at running, plus I am doing uphill for the first half and then downhill for when I am getting tired

    That sounds good ali - I know that my knees play up a bit on concrete, how about running on an oval on grass? A bit tougher but must kinder on the knees. I did week 2 day 2 on the treadmill yesterda, I am repeating some days because I am finding it hard to keep up teh 3 days a week (well did before I got my treadmill) but I am doing my Jillian Michaels dvd on days I don't run!

    How is everyone else going - oh I got my arm band, I think it's made for an elephants arm FFS, need to do some sewing!!!
