C25K .... Overture and beginners please!

[Denise140]

Another first! .......running with my son!

Awwww it was so NICE

It was great to have company, and I was pleased to prove to myself that I really was able to have a conversation whilst running.

He didn't have to slow down too often considering that he's almost a foot taller and 35 years younger!

Sooooo proud of myself!

 

[Deezer]

BRILLIANT!!! You should be so proud of yourself!!! x

 

[Bostik]

Thats fantastic!

 

[Denise140]

Just finished my run! .......on Boxing Day!!!

Previous years would have seen me struggle to do 10 reps with each eyelid!

Lol!

 

[Bostik]

Good job! Hope you've all had a good christmas

Planning to do d1 Wk3 on weds or thurs up here, then on fri or sat back home in hants!

Thank you for all the encouragement

Have any of you tried it on a treadmill I'm wondering how it works does it tell you what speed etc to turn up too? Cx

 

[Bostik]

I do it on treadmill. Go at what's comfortable for you

Done week 3 day 2 today! A lot easier than day 1!

 

[Deezer]

Have any of you tried it on a treadmill I'm wondering how it works does it tell you what speed etc to turn up too? Cx

Totally do what suits you... I went from 4.5km/hr(walk) to 6.5km/hr (Run)....

I have it on good authority (My ultra distance running OH) Build you 'time running' up first and then when your running for the full time.... Say the 30 mins on the programme.... then build on your speed if you want to!!!

Hope this helps!!!

I think a common mistake, from what i've been told, about people starting to run... is trying to go too fast!!!

XXXXX

 

[Mizkirsty]

Trouble is and forgive me for sounding daft - I struggle to run unless it is fast - I tend to end up walk I dont know how to get myself jogging as such on a treadmill!

But I can run slower on solid ground but know that I won't in this weather.

I'll give it a go just I normally walk at about 6.5km/hr purely bc I can don't get me wrong it is a power walk I just don't know how to get the bounce on a treadmill to
Run lol xx

 

[Bostik]

Hmm. Maybe try it at the speed you think you need to get to to run and see how you feel? If you can do it faster than isn't that a good thing?

I started doing it walking at 4.5, running at 6. Now I am walking at 5 and running at 6.5
