We started in October and didn't finish until January because we missed days or weeks and had to redo them. We made it to 5k though..... Then never ran again 😁</p> <p>I want to start again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c25k-have-you-tried-it#post-2274544 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 11:39:26 +0000 GrapeCrush 2274544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The furthest I've gotten is week 5, and did really good on it. I did repeat some days if I felt I wasn't ready to move up. I'm planning on starting it, or some other running plan in the coming days/weeks. </p> <p>@avivoca: what are some of the ones you like better? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c25k-have-you-tried-it#post-2274497 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 10:42:50 +0000 avivoca 2274497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never liked it. But there are other running plans that I've liked that I found in running magazines. I'm a runner though. Lately I've been running for 4 minutes and walking for 1 minute, but I'm going to up it soon to run 5/walk 1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c25k-have-you-tried-it#post-2274456 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 09:53:25 +0000 ms.line 2274456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hated (still hate?) to run but the C25K inspired me to run two half marathons! I found that the program accelerates fast, and it's totally fine to repeat days if you need to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c25k-have-you-tried-it#post-2274455 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 09:52:08 +0000 Smurfette 2274455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just finished it! I still don't like running and I can't run as long as they say without stopping for a breath. But I can do more then I could before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c25k-have-you-tried-it#post-2274454 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 09:51:59 +0000 plantains 2274454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did it. I hate running but it was pretty easy to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c25k-have-you-tried-it#post-2274441 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 09:38:58 +0000 MenagerieMama 2274441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took me from hating to run even to the bus to eventually running a 5k! (disclaimer: still hating to run, but at least doing it!) I then ran 3x/wk for over a year. I stopped when I got pregnant the second time (first ended in m/c) because I was being irrational and paranoid. I meant to get back into it when LO was 6 mo old and could go in the jogging stroller and it was spring...and now she's 11 mo and it's summer. Ha. I'm going to have to start C25k all over again! I did sign up for a 5k in a few weeks but I think I'll have to walk it :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c25k-have-you-tried-it#post-2274436 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 09:33:24 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2274436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'be started and stopped a few times. The most I could do is week 7. I really love the concept and app. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c25k-have-you-tried-it#post-2274396 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 08:52:32 +0000 CakeLady 2274396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started and it was a little too easy at first and then I just plain fell off the wagon. I should start again, it was a really nice gradual and manageable workout. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c25k-have-you-tried-it#post-2274392 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 08:48:25 +0000 Ash 2274392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love it! But I'll be the first to say I would repeat a week before going onto the next if it was a lot more running that I could handle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c25k-have-you-tried-it#post-2274360 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 08:19:16 +0000 Bao 2274360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: We will see! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c25k-have-you-tried-it#post-2274348 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 08:08:58 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2274348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great job! I can never seem to stick with it enough to get very far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c25k-have-you-tried-it#post-2274310 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 07:42:55 +0000 delight 2274310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found it really easy to do and within a month could run 5k. I think I skipped some of the earlier steps. It really helped me to get in shape before getting pregnant with DD. I started again last week from the beginning but now that I'm in the TWW I don't know what to do. I'm scared of dislodging a bean if we so happen to get pregnant. I know people say it's ok to run when pregnant but I haven't been exercising for well over a year so I don't know what to do! Good luck with your C25K. I bet you'll be doing he full 5k in no time if you are finding it easy so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c25k-have-you-tried-it#post-2274309 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 07:41:22 +0000 Mrs D 2274309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE it! I ususally did skip to week 2 or 3 because I needed to feel challenged. Trust me but the later weeks you will feel it! Its a great program! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c25k-have-you-tried-it#post-2274305 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 07:34:33 +0000 Bao 2274305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Who has done this? Love it, hate it? I just started two days ago and so far it's pretty easy, however, I'm not sure I'll be ready for what it wants me to do in the coming weeks. I'm wondering if repeating a few of the easier days is cheating? I've never been good at running so this will be a challenge no matter what. </p>
