I do C25K on Mon, Wed, Fri and walk\/jog free-form the other days.  My walk is at 3.0mph and run is at 4.0mph.  I know it&#8217;s painfully slow.. but I figure I can be faster after I can do it for 30 minutes at a time.<\/p>\n<p>Week 1 was fine, no problems.  Did it 3 times.<br \/>\nWeek 2 was ok.  The last run was difficult but not hard.  Did it 3 times.<br \/>\nWeek 3 was hard but got easier over time.  I did this for 6 weeks for a total of 18 times.  In the end I&#8217;d says it was 80% easy.<br \/>\nWeek 4: in progress<\/p>\n<p><strong>Week 4, Second run-through:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>5 min Warmup<\/li>\n<li>3 min run<\/li>\n<li>90 second walk<\/li>\n<li>5 minute run: At the -very- end I was checking to see how much time I had left.. but I did run the whole way and didn&#8217;t hang on the handle bars.<\/li>\n<li>2.5 minute walk<\/li>\n<li>3 minute run<\/li>\n<li>90 second walk<\/li>\n<li>5 minute run: my legs were feeling tired and I gimped this by hanging on the handle bars.  That said.. it wasn&#8217;t my breathing holding my back this time&#8230; my legs were very tired.  I have total hope that I&#8217;ll be able to get my endurance up much quicker than I did with week 3.<\/li>\n<li>5 minute cooldown<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I bought a Sole F-80 treadmill off Craigslist in January and started C25K the week after I bought it.
