I've started this week. Just went for my second run/walk of Week 1. So still very early days.

I'm hoping I'll be able to keep this up as time wise its easy with 2 kids. Feeling good so far.

Also still got alot of preg weight to drop so my fingers are crossed.

Any tips?]]> Sun, 23 Jan 2011 16:49:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36202&PID=1248797&title=c25k#1248797 <![CDATA[C25K : I&#039;ve just started week 3...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36202&PID=1243660&title=c25k#1243660 Author: T_Rex

I've just started week 3 today. Kinda sad that I was quite chuffed to be able to run for 3 minutes without it hurting too bad - I used to do long distance running competitively! No way am I good for it at the moment.

Still, I can feel I'm getting better, and it IS an awesome programme cos it pushes you just enough but not too much.

mum2alana, I don't think they mean 1kg muscle weighs more than 1 kg fat, more like 1 cubic cm of muscle weighs more than 1 cubic cm of fat - so that of two people the same size, the fitter (musclier) one will actually be heavier than the one who is made up of more fat.
Which measurements do you take? Maybe I'll start.

Bubba, yep, I've put on a wee bit of weight this week too - could be the running or could be that it's cherry season ]]> Tue, 18 Jan 2011 13:47:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36202&PID=1243660&title=c25k#1243660 <![CDATA[C25K : Yay Bubba!

Yay Bubba! Great to have another person doing this. I haven't gained weight BUT I haven't lost it either!!!!

Usually I do gain weight when I first start exercise. And I think it's because you start building muscle but the fat is still there. People say muscle weighs more than fat which is a load of rot, how can 1kg of muscle weigh more than 1kg of fat????? They are both the same weights!!!!! BUT muscle has a smaller surface area than fat which is why I like to do measurements instead.

I am still struggling with week 3, I must have repeated it 5 times now but I will keep repeating it until I find it comfortable to run the amount it says then I will move on. I don't care how long it takes, I will get there in the end. I've also found it tough lately with the humidity and I really need to do it earlier in the morning before it gets too hot.

Hang in there, and keep going. You will improve over time, I remember my first week I could hardly run for 30 seconds without dying! And do your measurements as you will likely see changes there ]]> Tue, 18 Jan 2011 12:22:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36202&PID=1243540&title=c25k#1243540 <![CDATA[C25K : how is everyone going with their...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36202&PID=1243216&title=c25k#1243216 Author: notenufchaos

how is everyone going with their running? i have so far completed week one but am repeating it as i had such sore legs after the first run that i really had to take it easy for the rest of the week - i am truly amazed at how it is already easier to run.

did anyone else find that they actually gained weight initially?]]> Tue, 18 Jan 2011 08:39:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36202&PID=1243216&title=c25k#1243216 <![CDATA[C25K : How is everyone going with the...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36202&PID=1207535&title=c25k#1207535 Author: happymum21

How is everyone going with the C25K? I'm doing each week twice as I'm that unfit and hopeless at running. This is my 2nd week of week 2. I was a bit naughty and didn't do my first day until today so will do again on Saturday and maybe Sunday.

I had to get some new earphones as the ones I had just kept falling out of me ears, even with the over the ear hook. So now I look even more dorky with my full headphones but at least they stay on and I run on TM at home so no one sees me (apart from the lawnmower man the other week lololol!). They are bright pink skull candy ones but OMG they have wicked sound and it's made a huge difference not having to constantly hold my ears.

I will head to gym tomorrow and Saturday for circuit workout. Still not lost any weight which is depressing but normal for me. Clothes are getting looser and measurements are dropping so soon the weight should start to go down. Just keep telling myself how great I feel after completing my exercise to keep me motivated.

Let us know how you're all going!

Nikki, chch is flat in some places but not all! I have a tiny hill in the middle of my run but its not too bad. Its honestly not too bad running with the buggy/kids. The initial week was hard adjusting to the buggy but now its fine. ]]> Mon, 25 Oct 2010 07:54:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36202&PID=1184476&title=c25k#1184476 <![CDATA[C25K : OMG peanut I don&#039;t know how...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36202&PID=1184377&title=c25k#1184377 Author: Nikki

OMG peanut I don't know how you do it with the kids in a buggy. Guess chch is flat though eh? My kids are 18.2kgs and 12kgs and the buggy would be another 10kgs or so = no way I could even walk up a hill with them both in it now, let alone jog!

I use the treadmill MuppetsMumma, and DH has the kids while I do it! Or I take one in the buggy if I'm just going for a walk. I tried once to have my 3 year old walk too --- we didn't make it very far and it was SOOO slow! ]]> Sun, 24 Oct 2010 21:14:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36202&PID=1184377&title=c25k#1184377 <![CDATA[C25K : I am just about to start week...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36202&PID=1184373&title=c25k#1184373 Author: Peanut

I am just about to start week 4 tomorrow and am loving it. I am not a runner or an exciser by nature but must say I am genuinely enjoying it. I have been running 3 times a week and have actually been having the urge to run on my "off" day so am pretty stoked.

MuppetsMumma, I have a 1 year old and a soon to be 3 year old. I have a P&T with a double kit and its fine for running. I do 2 of my runs with both kids and then one on my own. I always feel like a speedster on the day I do it on my own as I am not pushing 40kgs of buggy and kids.

Hows the running going?

I have just started this last thurs. I HATE running, even when I could do 2hrs of aerobics and was ultra fit from kickboxing I still couldn't run for 5 mins. Something about the way it makes my lungs feel I think ... or how boring / repetitive it is.

Anyway ....
But I'm trying to get back in shape and ahve been doing zumba once a week but its not enough, so have just started back on the treadmill. I used to just walk on it (YEARS ago) but this is something different and a goal so I'm giving it a go. Will see how it goes, so far so good, but I have done all three walk/jogs since thurs, so I think I will be sore tomorrow!!! ]]> Sun, 24 Oct 2010 20:53:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36202&PID=1184370&title=c25k#1184370 <![CDATA[C25K : Mrs_B wrote:Does anyone know...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36202&PID=1176740&title=c25k#1176740 Author: jazzy

Hi ladies!

I am biting the bullet and starting this tomorrow!!

Will have to get the ipod charged up and I will try out my arm band for the first time. I will do it with the kidlies in the pram on a nice track that is mostly flat and at the end there is a park so the kids can get a play and wear themselves out too hopefully! ]]> Tue, 12 Oct 2010 10:05:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36202&PID=1175271&title=c25k#1175271
