Couch to 5k Running - Part Two

Drea

Thanks all, my leg feels okay today. Not sure why it happened

The 28 minute runs are really intimidating me, persuading myself to go out and do it isn't easy now.

Glad your legs are feeling ok.

I feel just the same about hte 28 mins, so frustrating as I'm sure we can do it having got this far. I think it's the sheer length of it with no breaks etc and by now we know our routes so know how many laps/corners etc there are to go.

Come on, girl, we can do this:T. Don't disappear on us.

Well done to all you folks talking about running for 20 mins etc!!

I am still trying to finish week4! Have to say I think I would have done it today if it hadn't been for the fact I thought I'd run round the roads today near my home (usually drive to the river), but part of the way I ran took me by the main road which was quite noisy and so when he told me I was halfway through the first 5 min run I thought it had finished!! I only stopped for about 10 secs before I realised my mistake and carried on, but at least I managed the last 5 min run ok. :j:j:j

Week 3 Run 2 finished. Went out at half six and it was a beautiful morning. Had to jog the second 3 minute run verrrry slowly but I did it!:T

Drea- Pleased your legs are ok. You 20 minute plus people are doing great and are what inspire the rest of us to keep going.:)

I know it's all in my head, I'm failing before I start because I don't think I can do it

I find during the week really difficult, for some reason I seem to be better at weekends, not so tired I guess. Don't worry, I'll keep going, if I disappear from the thread for any longer than 3 days everyone must PM me and get me told :rotfl:

busiscoming - Well done :T I think we can forgive you those 10 seconds

A question:

Do any of you run in MBT's, Reebok Easy tones or the Fitflop trainers?

I was looking at the MBT site yesterday and it says you can run in them, just wondered what it was like?
I tried some MBTs on this morning and they felt comfy but one size was too loose and the next size down was a little sung, so I shall try on the others as and when I find them in store.
