Couch to 5 kilometres (C25K) Challenge!

Great going Sarah, whats that timing wise now Sarah?

You mean the jogging is it? Starts with 5 mins then 3 minute walk then 8 minute jog and then 3 minute walk then 5 minute jog.
Next one (day 2) is two 10 minute jogs with 3 minute walk in middle and THEN its the 25 minute non stop jog. And its non stop jogs from then on lol!!

He says you should be running as slow as possible. Basically just run slightly faster than you're walking. You build up speed later. X

Hiya girlies and welcome Ruth.

Just a wee note, I've been talking to a lady that runs a fit for Life campaign, she was talking about running and I mentioned I'd started, she said that both programmes we are following here (c25k and OT) are great to start with. I asked her about speed because I can still get very breathless and she said that we should be jogging at near enough the same pace we fast walk, she says if you can't hold a conversation you are going too fast, this is very dangerous for your muscles including YOUR HEART!!!!, so she couldn't stress more if you can't talk slow right down! Telling you my next jog will be a crawl lol xx

Thanks for pointing this out hon. I had been worrying about going too slow as I don't think I'm going enough distance if you know what I mean. I crawled my jog on saturday last & then thought I'd done it wrong. But reading the c25k site it mentions briefly what you've said there about running basically the same as you walk! People on FB say speed is something that can be built up later after you're muscles are stronger

Welcome Ruth woop woop x

Ive been running for years ladies and I have never bothered with speed .. Ive always ran 6 mph/10 kpm since I started in 2008 (I no this coz I can run 10 mins per mile) ... The fact your running is the main thing .... Its hard to get speed in when running is so tiring anyway xxxxxxx your all doing sooo well xxxxxxx
