Couch to 5k Running - Part Three

JodyBPM- I would say go for it,thought it would be best to just okay things with your doctor. You sound like me, I have never got on with exercise and I do smoke too. Totally agree with you on the gym,I would sign up then not go then be well cross at the money wasted.

Strangely beginning to enjoy this malarky..:eek:,never thought I would say that. The podcast I follow is a lady called Carli( I find it easier to run to her choice of music,Robert is too tinkly for me).

So go on..you know you want too.

Did another set of interval training yesterday morning. I ran further in slightly less time than the last run - woohoo! I actually felt like I was sprinting in my sprinty bits rather than just plodding a bit faster than normal.

Skintlass and fedupandskint- You are both doing so well.

Wish I could say the same,not been for a run since last friday:eek:.
The other half has been working till silly o'clock and with the kids off school I have not had a chance to go. Am hoping tonight will be better or I will have to get my lazy self out of bed for 4:30am to get a run in before my husband leaves for work( might be kidding myself here).

Hi Schoolhouse, I've not done so well today, my knees and ankles were hurting so I didn't go as far - my sprints were still (for me) proper sprints though which is good. I had to kick myself to go out as well.

I completed week 6 today with a run of 25mins. I felt tired but kept going.

Really hungry after a banana and youghurt and then another banana a couple of hours later.

Off to have some more fruit

Skintlass you poor thing,hope your knees and ankles are better.

I went out this morning,had to proper force myself. So, finally week 6 run 1 done :j. Very quiet out there at 5ish in the morning, quite nice actually.

Hope everyone on here is well.

Not many posts on here recently, I hope everyone is still running!
I've completed C25K :j:j though I can run for 30 mins I'm still only getting to 3k. I've returned to the gym and had a fitness assessment today and they'll work out a programme for me when I go back next week. Got my 8k race in only 8 weeks and I want to be able to run most of it. Had a run in the gym today, what on earth is the weather doing out there? This is supposed to be summer!

Good luck everyone:beer:

I have a really good excuse for not posting. Travelling around Borneo on my dream holiday.sitting in a cafe with the locals who are rolling about laughing at mr bean. Off to see the orang Utangs at the rescue sanctuary tomorrow. Too hot to run but lots of walking. Post your excuses and everyone else keep running
