Hey, everyone! Finally did >10k! Someone here rightly pointed out I may have trouble because my running route is the same everyday and to switch it up to get over the mental block. Consequentially, my lazy, change-hating ass decided it was easier to run longer than find a new route🙃 Cheers!6mo ⋅ Abishangay ⋅ r/C25K
W5D1 is in the bag! By the way, I’ve lost 25 post-divorce pounds over the last two months, and I want to take a moment to brag about that lol.4yr ⋅ phuck_yeah_brah ⋅ r/C25K
Half marathon done! Hardest run of my life! Enjoyed it nonetheless. Thank you c25k! Never imagined this all my life! Keep it moving!7yr ⋅ dudusan ⋅ r/C25K
Woke up this morning exhausted, dehydrated, and feeling a little sick from crying myself to sleep last night. Almost skipped my run today. But I’ve come this far, and I knew skipping today would just make my mental health worse at the end of the day. Here’s to perseverance! W8D25yr ⋅ MoreBriePlease ⋅ r/C25K
W5D1 done and dusted! Gotta say it wasn't as hard as I expected, but the looming spectre of the 20 min run has me keeping things nice and slow lol. Here's hoping D2 goes without incident!1yr ⋅ Abishangay ⋅ r/C25K
Week 6 done. Managed a sub 12/mi pace. Not a selfie guy, so here's my running trail today.2yr ⋅ Ubersandwich ⋅ r/C25K

W1D2 not brave enough to leave the backyard yet. So I am doing laps of my backyard4yr ⋅ sprinklezontoast ⋅ r/C25K
W4D2 in the bag. Coolest and most humid morning I've jogged in, but satisfying nonetheless.6yr ⋅ nobodez ⋅ r/C25K
W3D2 I honestly think I would have ended this run after the first 3min run if I wouldn't log it on this subreddit so a big thanks to all of you.5yr ⋅ Winti26 ⋅ r/C25K
W2D1 - made it 1.9 miles and I think my jog is slower than my walk, but I'll take it! 😁4yr ⋅ The-RealSlimShaylie ⋅ r/C25K
So c25k adds 10 minutes to my time just walking. I actually want to RUN 3 miles. Today I tried. When it said, “Begin warm up”’ I ran. “Begin running”, I kept going. “Begin Cool down”, I said, “Keep running, fat boy!” Eventually I got to the 3 mile mark. I have officially run a 5k.3yr ⋅ MisterNo_Body ⋅ r/C25K
Week5Day3x4 and Week6Day1. I did W5D3 again Sat bc I wanted to make sure it wasn’t a fluke lol. In today’s 34 min total set I finally got close to 2 miles completed (1.9). 5k doesn’t seem as impossible anymore.4yr ⋅ beattgirrl ⋅ r/C25K
I did it! My program called for a 4k run today but I just kept going and got the fiver!2yr ⋅ NewJerseyRed ⋅ r/C25K
W8D1 | Weight: 270 lbs (-28.4 lbs from W1D1) | Decided to work on my breathing technique today, and it made a noticeable difference. I can't believe that I've made it to the final week! Today's run felt amazing, and I'm extremely excited to hit 5K on Friday!4yr ⋅ Throwaway_Codpiece ⋅ r/C25K

Week 5 Day 3 take 2! I made it 14 minutes before pausing to walk for maybe 3-4 mins, then finished out the last 6. It was hard to get going again, but I did it! Hopefully on Thursday I can make it at least 15 mins. Content to stay here until I get that W!!4yr ⋅ beattgirrl ⋅ r/C25K
W8 D3 (342.2 lbs) Finally Graduated!!! Rain run for this finish, headphones got water in them...died with less than 10 min left in the run. Strava stopped at some point, but I kept running an extra few minutes beyond the 30 minutes. Nothing could stop me today! I feel absolutely amazing!5yr ⋅ RedCH1EF ⋅ r/C25K
Yesterday sucked! I had major DOMS, my fridge broke, police were involved. So this morning I just did what I had time for knowing I’d feel better for it! 2 miles in 28 minutes, better than no miles in no minutes!3yr ⋅ bakingbarratt ⋅ r/C25K
First run since testing positive for COVID! All I’d been able to manage til now was walking! Good to get out! You got this! Keep it up!3yr ⋅ BbNowSayMyNamebB ⋅ r/C25K
I did it! W5D3 done, after struggling and not properly completing W5D2 (I cried at the end because I couldn't do it). I understood that my problem was pace: I needed to slow down. I did and I can't believe I just ran 20 minutes non-stop! My pace was maybe slower than my walking pace but I made it!4yr ⋅ pipiness ⋅ r/C25K
Re-did Week 5 run 3 again, managed the 20 min run and I'm almost overweight instead of obese3yr ⋅ SchadenFran ⋅ r/C25K

Replace walking up a hill with jogging for 5 minutes straight and this describes me perfectly this morning. Week 4 Day 2 done!5yr ⋅ RunningOnFumes21 ⋅ r/C25K
Hey, everyone! Today's run marks my last run before I go on hiatus to deal with my health issues. Finished off strong with a lonnnnnng run! I'm looking forward to healing well, and will come back stronger than ever! Cheers!8mo ⋅ Abishangay ⋅ r/C25K

W8D2 Hardest run yet! Mentally I was NOT in the mood but forced myself out the door anyways. Got a side stitch halfway thru and I think my new shoes gave me knee pain but I STILL DID IT!3yr ⋅ -kylie ⋅ r/C25K
Started my journey today with W1D1 and I am pumped! Can’t wait to run 30 mins non-stop!2yr ⋅ kushsolitary ⋅ r/C25K

W1D1... sixth attempt, still not complete, but I actually had one 60 second jog!6yr ⋅ nobodez ⋅ r/C25K
Week 8 down, one more week to go! I stopped running for about 30 seconds to say hi to a friend I ran into but don't tell anyone 🤫5yr ⋅ ChewyBivens ⋅ r/C25K
That was BY FAR the hardest run of my program but somehow completed W8D2 on the third try! I just kept saying you came this far...dont stop now. Only 1 more run until graduation, not giving up, almost there!! Keep going guys6yr ⋅ Quirkykiwi ⋅ r/C25K

From W1D1 to W8D3- it took me five months and over 50 pounds, but I’m finally a graduate!7yr ⋅ otterlyhumiliating ⋅ r/C25K
W6D3 today was my first failed run. Got to 11 minutes (halfway) and had to stop my legs were so tight. I think not enough recovery time. But still 11 more minutes than the people on the couch...will try again in a couple days...what were your struggles this week?6yr ⋅ Quirkykiwi ⋅ r/C25K

Another 10K done, 22 seconds faster. It’s definitely not feeling easy yet. On Saturday I’m gonna run my old outdoors 5k route for the first time in over 2 months. See if the hill at 2.5k still makes we wanna quit.3yr ⋅ bakingbarratt ⋅ r/C25K
W5D3 done! I started thinking I was going to repeat D2 for sure. Took it minute by minute. Trust the process. Thank you all for the continued support. Cheers.4yr ⋅ maswa83 ⋅ r/C25K

W8D3 Done! And easier than my other 2 week 8 runs! And less knee pain! And I got to wave to a cute baby in a window! 🥳3yr ⋅ -kylie ⋅ r/C25K
I'm not a fraud any more, I did a full 5K today and not just a 30 minute run. I was really pleased to complete it in under 40 minutes though! Should I make my next target speed or distance? Either aim, for 10k or try to do 5k in < 30min?3yr ⋅ Lufferov ⋅ r/C25K
W5D3 I wanted to stop literally the entire time, but no walking breaks shaved almost a minute off my pace!5yr ⋅ svxvh ⋅ r/C25K
I did it. I can't believe I beat W5D3. For the first time in my life I ran 2 miles without stopping.7yr ⋅ SirNoodlesworth ⋅ r/C25K
I graduated in August, then sadly stopped running completely. I just recently picked it back up starting at Week 5, and whew, completing W5D3 is just as gratifying and euphoric the second time around! So glad to be back running!3yr ⋅ yeahbutlikewhytho ⋅ r/C25K
W7D3 done! Had to fight to not quit in the first 10 minutes today. Gotta get used to running earlier than usual due to my longer commute at my new job.5yr ⋅ ChewyBivens ⋅ r/C25K
Happy runniversary to me! 1 year ago today I completed week 1 day 1 and I’ve pretty much never looked back! I’ve had bad days and injury’s but I’ve made friends and achieved things I never imagined too!3yr ⋅ bakingbarratt ⋅ r/C25K
