Hello!
Now I can feel I run yesterday. My legs and bum are sore, not very sore, but I certainly feel them. Tommorow next session.

Body pump is great. You can lift as heavy or as light as you want. My gym does 45 min sessions as well as 1hr. Tonights was 45 mins.

I keep going After second session I'm less tired then after first one, but my muscles still hurt after it.

Hi everyone, I have never run in my life but read about the c25k challenge and thought this might be what I need to improve my fitness.

:wave:So many new people, great to see everyone giving it a go.

TRH, I do body pump, I love it. I started off with the smallest weights possible on my bar. Stayed like that for a few weeks, then gradually increased on some of the moves.

I have done week eight, hoping to start week nine tomorrow. :T Not looking forward to it ending, hope I can keep it up when there is no program to follow. I have bought a 10k podcast, so I'll give that a go I think, after a few weeks.

My muscles hurt, but I feel good, relaxed in a weird way.

Hello All :wave:)

My foot has been feeling tons better. I tested a run on Tuesday and then managed week 4 run 2 (the one I cross trained last week) on Wednesday. Will finish week 4 hopefully either tomorrow or Sunday dependent on how I feel.

Thanks for the positive reviews of Body Pump. May give it a go on Sunday.

I'm really loving the fact I can report my runs on here. Gives me an extra motivation as my other half doesn't class what I do as "running". Then again, I can just about do 10 mins and he can run 30 mins nice and easy and then do some more. Lucky git!

Well done to all those who managed a run this week. To those of you who had interviews/were ill/were injured, I hope you feel better and can manage something next week.

Hi!
I've finished my second week I can run now 2 minutes constantly, someone will laugh, but it's an improvement for me. I'm looking forward to another week.
I've wanted to run in a local run , end of June. I didn't realised though 3 miles are for teenagers only and in my age group I'd had to run 6 miles. I don't think I'm confident enough to commit myself to promise "I'll run 6 miles in 4 months". Possibly I'll try other run.
