[quote=Anonymous]Hi, I loved C25K but found I had to make modifications at week 5 to be able to keep up. There was just too big of a jump (physically and psychologically) for me during that week. I don't have the schedule in front of me right now, but what I did is add a few intermediate work outs where it jumps up. I also repeated each workout twice to build stamina and confidence. Finished the program that way, doing each workout twice before moving to the next.

Everyone has different motivators. In my case, I must sign up for 5Ks to keep going or else I'll start to skip my runs when the weather gets bad. I ran a fantastic 5K on Sunday and it was exhilarating. Running makes me feel strong, makes my clothes fit and look better, and is my zen time that helps me beat stress and depression. When I don't want to run is usually when I need it most--and I'm always glad I went after the fact.

Does music help you? I sometimes listen to an iPod in one ear with the volume low, however I also love listening to the sounds of autumn. And be sure to run aware of your surroundings.

If you post a link to the C25K schedule, I might be able to remember how I modified it and can post again.
