    I am going on my Week 4 run 1 mk II today.

    I did not complete this run on Thursday, so in my mind I still have 3 runs to complete.

    Not worried about the first half of the run, I managed that ok, it is the 2nd half that got me!

    I did it :j:j:j

    My next run is 30 mins :eek: my couch to 5k has turned into couch to just over 3k but I will work on speed after finally running for 30 mins - seems impossible to think just 8 weeks ago I could barely manage to jog for 1 min at a time! :o

    I have done Week 2 Run 2 tonight - now I'll have two days of 'umming an arring' as to whether to have another go at week 2 on Thursday or step it up a notch to week 3.

    Well I'm feeling a bit miffed lately. It was only 2 weeks ago yesterday that I ran my 5k. The rest of that week I didn't run as I went away. But since I've gone out running at least 3 times a week. But, despite getting to 5k, I now feel completely knackered after 1 mile. And for the life of me I can't seem to get my speed up either.

    I don't know whether to go back on the programme, picking up about half way or what. Anyone else had something similar? It's a bit demoralising it has to be said :(
