I ran 5km non stop for the first time in my 38 years ! At W7D3 but the time felt right. Time is slow but the fact I didn’t stop for 38 minutes is AMAZING since I barely made 2 minutes back in April. The program works !!! Now how to sustain momentum ?4yr ⋅ Kickerkim ⋅ r/C25K
After doing W5D2 6x in past 3 weeks, this morning I decided to do W5D3. But when I saw I had 8 minutes left I thought, There's no way I'm gonna make it. Then I said to myself, Just keep going!. I did and I finished! Thanks everyone for your posts!3yr ⋅ tenzindrolma ⋅ r/C25K
Ran a 5k last Friday. Been lurking on this sub for almost 3 years but never really went at it. Finally got up the courage to start running and I started from 1.5km. It was horrible at first, but I soon realized it’s all in my head. Slowly increased it by 10-20% every week and finally did a 5k. 🥺2yr ⋅ vaderjunior ⋅ r/C25K

1 month ago I posted on here and had just finished W5D2 and was getting ready for W5D3, then I got nasty cold which put me out for a week or two and I had to build back my strength again. Today I managed to complete W5D3 and can finally move onto week 6!!!!!2yr ⋅ AggravatedMonkeyGirl ⋅ r/C25K

W4D1 done today, was great but was tough, the sharp jump from 9 minutes running to 16 minutes running is a serious body shock. That said, 5 minutes continuous running today1yr ⋅ backspacer80 ⋅ r/C25K
Happy Monday! Another day under a heat advisory means another short run. Only one mile, but it’s my new fastest according to my Garmin! I’m sticking with more frequent short runs until the temps cool down. Hopefully this will make my runs enjoyable again!1yr ⋅ Elle__Cee ⋅ r/C25K
W8D2 | Weight: 268 lbs (-30.4 lbs since W1D1) | Today went great, I can't believe how far I've come in the last 8 1/2 weeks! I finally got my pace below 12 min/mile, and I didn't feel like dying while doing it! Can't wait to hit 5K on Friday! (Also -30 lbs!)4yr ⋅ Throwaway_Codpiece ⋅ r/C25K
I've lost over 50 pounds this year, have been weight lifting for months, and just started running. Did my first 5k today and timed at 35 minutes, which isn't great, but I'm still unbelievably proud. Never thought I'd get here.5yr ⋅ BernieThrowaway_ ⋅ r/C25K
Hey, everyone. Now that I'm comfortable running a 5k, I will be jumping on the Hal Higdon Intermediate 10k program. I contemplated the novice program, but given I'm doing 5k+ runs 3-4x a week, I feel it would be a regression in running volume. Excited to run more/ inc. speed work. Wish me luck!9mo ⋅ Abishangay ⋅ r/C25K
W4D3 That run was so bad I’m going to make it sit in the corner and think about what it did.4yr ⋅ Calvinball_Ref ⋅ r/C25K

W2D1 . Much more difficult then I expected. Running is difficult for me. I can hike 14km no problem but 2 mins of running is difficult. What can I do to help with the breathing while running ?1yr ⋅ wayfarer104 ⋅ r/C25K

Hey, everyone! I ran my first 5k today! I know I did my D1 run yesterday, but I had a super stressful day that got my adrenaline pumping.

Left photo was about 4 months ago during a really LOW point of C25k. Fast forward to now, after graduating I joined a gym and added weight training. Now I've been running (5k 3x week) and lifting 6x a week and in the best shape of my life mentally and physically. Keep going, C25K changed my life6yr ⋅ Quirkykiwi ⋅ r/C25K
I started C25K about 18 months ago - took ages to complete it and often had big gaps between runs. W5D3 was a struggle! Today I decided to keep running, and I just ran a half marathon... 😳 Remember: Every run is a good run - Short/long, fast/slow, just getting out is already a win. You got this!3yr ⋅ The_Nubbin ⋅ r/C25K
