Well i've toyed with the idea of this program for about 5-6 months now & since i've been trying to use more aps on my iphone I decided to download the program & start. It is a terrific program, you can play your own music & it will beep & tell you what you do when you need to do it.
It's based on being able to go from being a couch potato to being able to run 5km or 30 min continuously within 9 weeks. you can go slower if you want to & to be honest, at the moment I may have to.
So today I did week 1 day 1 & it was tough going, I did cheat in the middle & walked all but 20 seconds of one of my running segments but otherwise am proud to say I did it & now that I can breathe again i'm feeling pretty darned good about it!
hmm what else is happening in the world of Kelly? I've been sticking to my points & making sure I do exercise daily & i've even washed the dishes straight after dinner for 3 days in a row... lol... maybe don't expect that to last hehehehe
Oh & Justin's son has an assignment for school where he has to make up a healthy food plan for a week.... hmmm time to pull out some ww mags & cookbooks & weave my magic... is it bad if I want to do his assignment for him? Is it also bad that it's due by Friday & he's known about it for 2 months? Is it bad that he's starting it now? Is it really unexpected? lol.....
Hey Kell. I've known of C25K for a while. Used to do it on the treadmill at the gym... wasn't ever any good at it. Maybe we should do it together, we can motivate each other. Almost like we are running together, running buddies!! What do ya think? It will help me add onto my kms.... yeah I really should get back to doing that.
ReplyDeleteI'm up for that Nell! Sounds great
ReplyDeleteI love C25K. I do it on the treadmill. I'm amazed at how much fitter I am now. I did each week over and over again at first. They say to do C25K 3 times per week, but I often do it more. Last week was Week 5 and I thought I'd never manage it, but I did!! I actually ran for 20 mins non-stop!!! Not bad for a morbidly obese 48 year old couch potato.
ReplyDeleteI use podcast for the ipod for the runs. They use music with the right number of beats per minute to keep you going. Some days I use www.ullrey.com and other days I use http://www.djsteveboy.com/intervals.html
Keep going - it makes me lose weight fast!!
Awesome work deb, I've done w1d1 twice now as I talked my lovely partner Justin into doing it with me as well (trust me that wasn't easy)but he knows that I need support & I think i've allowed myself to stagnate my weightloss too long so it's time to start doing something about it. Your results speak for themselves, I can see c25k has most definantly helped you ! congratulations again on winning your prize!!
