Couch to 5k Running

juno

Had a nice run today We went to the venue where we're going to do Race For Life later. We didn't run it all, coz we're only doing week 3, but it was still a nice change.

On Sunday I ran a mile, last night I ran a mile, and threw in some sit ups and leg extensions in for good measure once I got home.

Now, should I go again this evening? The first run I stopped twice and walked for about 20 feet, the secong, only once, I walked up the subway hill.

I've also walked the dogs for 2 miles each morning ~ the old lady enjoys it, but I'm not sure how much longer she'll be able to manage it.

gravity - come and join us on the exercise and fitness thread -

Thanks for this - I went for my first run with the podcast today and found it much easier than when I tried 'on my own'. Just need to keep doing it now.

Thanks Juno, went for my second run last night and actually enjoyed it. My wieght loss had stalled, but now have lost another couple of pounds. Looking forward to tomorrows run!

Aldi have running stuff in next week btw.

My legs have fallen off!

I ran 4 miles yesterday, then went out and did week 3 with my sister. We're using the alternate podcasts, and it hasn't been that successful. Suz's vocal cues are too quiet, but Nicole's are a bit confusing as to when to start.

I completed the couch to 5k at the end of December but havent run since then and plan on starting again next week - I have a 30 minute walk to work and back so hopefully Im not quite back to Week 1, but what week should I restart at? thanks.

fimg it is the thursday special buys - I think it wasnt on the internet when I posted just in the in store leaflet

Thinking about the 3/4s and the jacket myself. I have lost enough weight for my jogging pants to be slipping when I am running which is really annoying.

I did run 1 of week 2 last night - so 4 runs in 8 days now. I am actually looking forward to it.

grey lady - don't quote me on it but I read somewhere that for every week you don't run you lose half a weeks fitness.
