Good morning fellow C25K'ers!
ZOOMAMA - Congrats on making it so far!
jenn - How is it going? Are you doing day 2 today? When he said, "You shouldn't be tired or out of breath" I said, "What??!"
Then I thought, well, I'm not OUT of breath, but I'm breathing heavy!
PeterPan - Good for you for completing day 2!
I'd love to be able to go at 5.0, but I know it's going to take time for me.
insoin -
I have registered to run the half in January, too! And my wii fit tells me I'm obese.
It'll be fun doing this together!
When are you going to start C25K?
To everyone else I missed - Good luck!
As for me: I decided to start the program today instead of waiting until Monday. I just posted a full journal entry about W1D1 on my PTR (link in my siggy), so I will just give the basics here.
It was easier than I thought, or maybe I was just surprised that I could handle it. My brisk walk was only at 3.5 (I can easily see this increasing, but there's a problem with that) and I had to keep my jogs at 4.0. I could have done faster and I did the first one at 4.5. But, I immediately started having pain/discomfort in my shins and top of feet. I decided to slow the pace down to alleviate that. I'm hoping it will go away as I build more strength in my body.
Speed: 3.5 for warm up, 4.0 for jogs, 3.0 - 2.5 for cool down
Duration: 30 minutes total
Distance: 1.75 miles
