Ran my first 5K this morning - made it! Started at the end of June and made it to 5K today so very pleased even if the legs are a bit tired now!

Morning, I did 10k on Sunday and 5 this morning.
Scared myself when my HRM started beeping like mad - my heart rate was up to 200! :eek: (I'm 40), I'd only just set off, so slowed down and it then averaged 154.

Don't know if it's a dodgy monitor or if I should see the Doc.....Anyway, happy running everyone

Well done Sparkles :j

I have had couple of occasions with HRM that it has given me funny readings but with some readjustment of the strap it has normally got sorted.

Hiya all.
Haven't been running since last week and only managed one run then. It's just bit hectic atm with trying to find a place to move in with my bf and lot of other things as well.

I gave up on HRM at the start, didn't like the readings and I didn't 'feel' what the readings said.

Hello :wave:

Oh yes

Hi marru :j

How heavy? theres a 20k set in argos thats reduced to 23 quid :money: will that do?

Vixstar

Think most people start with a pair of 1 or 2kg weights, though you may be able to manage slightly more. Trust me 1 kg in each hand feels plenty heavy after a few minutes.

Good luck for shred Lurks, I am yet to get started with mine better do it as I still can't run, haven't managed to get out of the house early enough for swim before work and have been munching a lot of biccies so better get cracking with it.

Thanks for all the well wishes at getting to the 5K mark today - couldn't have managed it without the programme podcast and the support on here

Really wish I'd joined this thread sooner after staring at it for over a year and a bit!

Might investigate this shred stuff now
