MemberI am in week 8 of c25k (running 28 minutes this week) and have realized the plan has been very helpful for motivating me. While I have no marathon aspirations, I think I am more likely to continue to do it if I am working toward something. If you are a c25k graduate, what did you do after completing it? Do you know of any plan to work toward an 8k or 10k? Thanks!
Memberi completed the program but didn’t continue with it because of a problem with my ankle (hurt it a loooong time ago). i run about 20 minutes twice a week still, and use the elliptical the rest of the time.
anyway, there ARE 10k programs..i looked into them before my ankle really started acting up. i know the iphone has a few programs, if you have one..
Membercongrats on almost completing the program!
i ran a 5k about a week after i completed the program and kept running until about september. things have just gotten so busy for me that i wasn’t able to get out and run. i wanted to sign up for another 5k on thanksgiving morning since i noticed that my motivation to run is higher when i have a goal but then i got the flu and now the race is this thursday so…no go for me.
i do have a lofty goal of eventually running a half marathon so i’ll probably try to start pushing for a 10k next year. or at least once the weather starts to even out. there is a bridge to 8k or something like that that i googled. i use a nike plus sportsband to keep my mileage and they have training programs associated with the program. i’ll probably use one of those when i start running again
MemberI completed the c25k in october and wanted to run my first race on thanksgiving but just last week my doctor told me I should stop running because of problems with my knee. That really sucks because I enjoy running. I haven’t ran much the past month though anyway because it gets dark too early (before I get home from work) and it’s too cold outside. I really wanted to do the 5k on thanksgiving but my husband is too afraid to do it because of the cold and the snow. It’s supposed to be like 5 degrees on turkey day. So it looks like I might not run again for awhile.
I think there were 10k programs. It’s called bridge to 10k or something like that. it was our goal to run a 10k by our second anniversary (next october) but now with my knee I don’t know what I will be doing.
MemberThat’s cool! Reading that you guys completed the program make me hopeful. I hate running and fiancee has been trying to get me to run. We recently got introduced to the program by a friend of us, hopefully we’ll be able to graduate from the program.
Member@guitargirl: I’m on Week 6 of C25K and really enjoy the program. I’ve seen a Gateway to 8K and Bridge to 10K programs. A simple Google search should help you find it. Those were the only 2 I found before reaching a half-marathon program. Good luck and I’m right behind you 🙂
