Just wondered if there was anyone else just starting off or are you all seasoned runners?

I have been here quite a while and hardly consider myself a seasoned runner. Welcome on in and join the fun, we have people at all stages dip in and out of here. :T

Well, that's W2R1 done...and I'm sooo surprised I actually managed it. The last 2 (or 3!) 1.5 min runs were kinda hellish but I'm thinking that's probably how I felt last week.

I'm thinking as I'm so unbelievably unfit it might be a good idea to do 2 weeks of each week's runs - might see how I feel during the first week 3 run and decide then.

My knees are totally knackered though and I'm just hoping they don't stop m finishing this. I've got knee supports on both knees now but the one knee which had the cheap support thing feels awful.

Think I'll have a go at the cross trainer or something tomorrow and hopefully my legs will feel better for Sunday.

Hope everyone else is doing well!

Well I did my first park run this morning and it was brilliant!!

I was buzzing when I got home, I still listened to my pod cast and managed to do it in 35min45sec!! I will keep going and look to maybe increase the speed over the coming weeks.

My legs felt like jelly too and that's week 9!

Just back in from W1R2 almost never went out. As I like to go out in the dark so no one can see me LOL!!! And it was dark and raining a fine mist.

I am boiling but shattered but high!!!!!

I really hate exercise. I like stuff with a means to an end if that makes sense like riding in to town.

These pod casts are fab and I love the music. I am looking at this as getting fit and not losing weight. If that happens it does.

My first run on thursday was spur of a moment thing. I just did it. If I had thought about it I would not have.

I don't even want to think what I look like as I bob along LOL!!!

Ivm, I might do the same as you two weeks for each run. Wednesday will be the telling point as I start week 2. If I can't cope I have not failed just need some more practice :rotfl:and go back to week one.

On ward and up wards. And thanks to everyone to making me feel so welcome as I know I posted on this thread about a million years ago and did nothing about it

Yours

Week 3 run 1 is done! If you'd told me 3 weeks ago I'd be up at 6am on my birthday running I'd have thought you were crazy!

It went really well. Felt really short, but I have done it one so no excuses for Tuesday and Thursday.

Happy Birthday Gonzo!!
