    I made it through the first 3 and 5 minute runs, but during the end of the 2nd 3 minute run I got a terrible... cramp? It could have been gas? I don't know what it was but it wasn't a side cramp li... read more

      Ouch, sorry to hear about that! Keep up the hard work though! Pushing through doesn't just mean during the workout, it means pushing through workout to workout too, and you're kicking butt with that!

      Great effort! You'll get it next week. Glad to see you not let this prevent you from making the most of the week that's left. Personally I think the program gets a little too ambitious on week 4.

      Thanks Brian and Kyle! Jim, I agree with it being ambitious on week 4, I think jumping from 90 seconds and 3 minute runs to 3min and 5 min runs is a little crazy!

    goodRecumbent Bike - Level 12 1.03 mi 00:05:00 12.4mph pace

    That was a little harder than I thought it was going to be... Jumped on because I had some extra energy. Broke a sweat in that short of a time. Man, I could really feel it in my quads!

    I can't really remember how long this walk took, but it was just a slow additional cool down... and I wanted to see more of "Money Hungry," a show I was watching. I guess the TVs at the g... read more

    alrightC25k - Week 3 - Day 3 1.86 mi 00:30 16:07 pace

    Went good, did the extra 1 min run and walk as day 1 and 3 to make it an even 20 minutes.

    I'm really having a hard time deciding if I want to extend week 3 a couple more workouts. I'm really str... read more

    • Jim D. Jim D.

      I had the same conversation with myself. I think the key to C25k is to try it cuz often you'll surprise yourself. Personally, I plan to repeat week 4 if I have too much trouble. My prediction is, if I am going to have trouble, it will be at the end of the fourth run. I think I can push myself through the first three. Consider this a challenge to show up this old fart. (Not that I'd admit to being old.)

    It looks different here today! Anyway. I took a extra day off.... and payed for it. While I'm sure there were other contributing factors to today's crappy work out... the extra day was probably the... read more
