Couch to 5k Running - Part Two

Yup I am doing the mp3 podcast;) ...it even says on the media player its on my mp3 player ,but that says its empty!!!! oh how i miss that confused smiley:rotfl:
I am going to attempt to add a song or something just to make sure I am not going completely mad --because I am sure I am doing it right. Hope I havent purchased a dodgy mp3 player:(...well if all else fails I will record the damn thing off the media player using the recorder facility .

Right now dont laugh (Its ok you can point too if you like:p:rotfl:)....I downloaded a song from play.com just to check my theory. I tried to download it onto my mp3 which it said it had. Even the playlist came up on the mp3 menu -but no song! Tried 3 times and it didnt work and now I have just deleted to flipping song from my computer by mistake:mad:.
Argggghhhhhhhhhhhh I give up.
I am going to look on the techy board and see if they can help:o.

bertiebots look back on this thread first in the last couple of days completelylost explained it. Try page 13.

Bertiebots - what kind of mp3 player is it? And what format have you downloaded from Ullrey's website (there's m4p and also mp3 version available).

Oh and I have just done wk3 run 1 :j

And it felt fine, easier than week 2?! But I really did go insanely slow (probably half the speed I usually go) - thanks to whoever suggested I slow down a bit. I hardly covered any distance at all and didn't feel particularly tired after it, but I jogged for hree whole minutes without stopping Didn't feel sick when I finished either.

So, I think that running after 9pm is the best time for me. Drinking water & eating fruit beforehand seemed to keep the sick feeling at bay, too.

Thanks I know it's a bit sad but I feel really happy that I did it... esp. as I was dreading it.

But just wondering why it's a mad time of day to run? Is it recommended that you run early or something?

I enjoy running later in the summer, and it's getting lighter in the evenings

completelylost. don't worry I was joking with you;) Some way back on the thread we were discussing when we run. It was clear that some people are larks(see time of my post) and some people owls. I personally am so tired in the evenings I fall asleep on the sofa and could not possibly walk, let alone run at 9.oopm at night:D Keep going it doesn't matter when just so long as you do it.:D

Just done week 7 run1:j:j:j:j. It was hard but I did it. He did not seem to say as many encouraging words on the podcast and I really missed them:( I forgot to check the time when I started so until I had got half way, I had no idea where I was. Still it's a gorgeous day and I am going to make the most of it by pottering in the garden.:DRun done.
How is everybody else getting on?
