Hi everyone, i'm pretty new to MSE.

i'been reading your posts and they've given me loads of inspiration. I started week 2 today, i couldn't do the last run because I was running along a different route to my my normal one and it was very hilly. one of the 90 secs was all up hill! i nearly collapsed at the top:eek:

ive never run before and ive always envied people that run, so i really hope i make it to week nine.

happy running everyone!!!

I did another run today. I still haven't managed to run 20 min non-stop, but I did 20 minutes: 14min run + 2 walk (got a stitch again!!!) + 6 min run. I am happy with my progress, and apart from stitch, I was happy running.

So, I am going to give it a pass and move on to week 6. I have only been on week 5 for 6 weeks (ok, I haven't been running for all that time...)

When I get stitches I tend to run through them, they go away for me after a couple minutes

I had a disappointing run today, too

I think everyone has a bad run at some time.

Hi everyone

I've been following you all very jelously for months now, and in absolute awe of you all so have decided to join you.

I'm not quite ready for public viewing but sneaked off yesterday to my folks house to use their treadmill and done my week 1, run 1, wasn't much but I did it and felt great for it. Am aiming for run 2 on Tuesday.

Just wanted to say thanks to you all, this thread is amazing and great inspiration, I'm looking forward to being able to keep up with you all

Glad you got them, shame they took so long. What is happening with post lately, I'm still waiting for something sent 10 days ago :eek:
May your new socks & shoes combo bring you much running happiness

Ah they actually came into the office on Friday when I was in Cardiff. I should be doing run 2 today but got my depo injection today so have a bit of a sore bum :rotfl: might have to leave it until tomorrow. Can't wait to try my new socks with my new trainers though

Just done Week 4 run 1 OMG it seems such a jump! I managed the both 3 min runs ok and did 4mins 50 secs in the first 5 min run but could only manage to do the last 5 mins in two parts!! Shall try again on Wed, all being well. Goodness knows how you all run for 25mins or so!!!

Good Luck to you all.
