[quote=Freeman]I made it through the entire program over the summer.(I started in May and didn't let up, even on the 100 degree afternoons) I loved the program overall, and even though I finished week 9 over a month ago, I'm still running for 30 minutes, 3 times a week. It was rough at first, but I realized after week 5 that it was more of a mental challenge than physical at that point.(My body could run the required times, I just had to make sure I didn't convince myself otherwise) The biggest benefit to me was how much better I felt overall, particularly after the week 4-5 point. At a certain point, I even started looking forward to the runs, although I've learned not to over-do it, no matter how good I feel at the time.

I've also since started supplementing my runs with other exercises(pushups, crunches, squats, and some light weights) on the my off days. There are similar programs for those as well, which I'm currently working my way through.(Although I'm not sure how far I'll get through the 100 pushups program) I think the biggest thing I learned from the C25K program is not to worry about starting small, and just keep at it until you get the results you want.[/quote]
