I felt great running week 3. It wasn’t too easy or too hard, just the right amount of exercise. Also I can barely run 2 minutes at a time I feel I am making good progress. Of course, compared to the C25K I am definitely behind, but consider my current fitness level I have learned to be content with where I am. So it may take a few more weeks for me to run a full 5K without stopping.
Good thing I built in about two weeks of buffer between eight weeks of ZR5K training plan and the Pittsburgh Great Race so hopefully I can get caught...

I feel better about running during week two workouts because I felt silly running for only 15 seconds intervals during the first week.

The first week was super easy, as expected. Most of the 5K program’s week one workouts are super easy. ...

In the distance past, I was running 15 miles a week and rocking my favorite size two Gap jeans. Fast forward to today, I haven’t put on my running shoes in years and has truly become a couch potato (resembles one too). I really want to start running again. I remember the tremendous health benefit and the amazing feeling of endorphins (runner’s high?). The problem is running is one of my least favorite activities, as I find it monogamous and boring. Before I have used the couch to 5K plan successfully but now I am...
