Hi there, I've just started the program using an app on my iPhone, but I've noticed a few people mentioning Laura? Can someone explain who she is?!

Thanks

Alan

Hey!
If you go to itunes podcasts and search for nhs c25k it'll come up. I also have another free c25k app but that just talks to you. The nhs one plays music and the minutes fly by. Good luck

That's great, thanks for letting me know! Sounds better than my iPhone app!

Ugh, winter! I got down the canal just before 6am this morning and it was noticeably darker. Not sure how I'm going to manage to keep running in the winter

I'm looking forward to it getting colder. Is that sad? Also running past houses with Xmas decs. Haha!

I'm not too concerned about the cold, it's the dark

I know what you mean. I was running through the woods yesterday evening and was conscious that I was running with my iPhone strapped to my arm on display. Felt better when I passed a policeman on a mountain bike but need a better route when my other half doesn't come.

Hi guys. After tearing a ligament 8 weeks ago, I'm back to running, not sure if its a good idea but it felt ok. Starting from scratch, just completed week 1 day 1, went well

OMG - I DID it!!!! The dreaded week 5 run 3!!! And when Laura said to slow down I was shocked. It hadn't felt like 20 mins and I could have kept going. I have had the most ridiculous grin on my face all morning. What an amazing way to start the day

When I completed that run I could have cried...I just hate hearing only 60 seconds left.... The 60 seconds seem to be longer than the 20 min jog lol x

 

[WillowFae]

LOL!!

Today was the final run of week 6 and I did 25 mins

Well done to all of you; I find your posts very encouraging. Just did my second run on week 1 C25K. Barely managed the 1 minute jogs -shock shock :O
I will keep at it though!

week 4 day 3 complete! Time to move onto week 5, but struggled with week 4 tbh. having looked ahead week 5 day 1 is just the same as week 4 but I'm not sure whether or not to repeat week 4 totally or just go for week 5. Decisions Decisions!

Move on! I was unsure about moving on from week 3 to 4 but was persuaded to trust the programme. So I did and it was totally doable!

Woke up to calf pain this morning. They feel really really tight. Any suggestions? just googling some stretches... I'm such a novice!

Hot water bottle or warm bath always helps my muscles Xx
