I would like to suggest if you have to run on the treadmill, make sure you can change the %grade you are running at. If you run at 0% it's like you are running downhill. If you change it to 1-2% you will see a bit of a change, and make your treadmill workouts much more effective. Congrats on starting the 5K.

My gym doesn't have a track nor can I leave the building. I think I may have a longer more natural stride on the street, but I know I'm building my endurance so it must be doing some good. I'm certainly nowhere near as fast as I was in high school, but that was a while ago. My first 5k is April 15. I'm kind of excited to see that my time might be better than my treadmill time (which is downright depressing). With 3 small children, the treadmill is my only realistic option.

I started last year and cold barely run to the end of the block...now I am running a 21km half marathon in May.I did not use the program, but I have seen it before and I think it should work great! Min, I had this problem when I started running and still have it from time to time. Try stretching more before the run. That was my biggest problem. Also, try loosening your shoelaces. Mine are never really tight. The other thing is put out the money for a pair of properly fitted shoes. They watch how your foot lands when you walk or run and make suggestions based on that. It is not much more money...probably about the same as buying shoes at a sporting good store. Apparently I need shoes that do not have much of a rise. Congrats on starting the program!

I've been aching in the calves lately (esp switching from treadmill to street) and would love some suggestions. Can you post some more about your change in form?
