I've managed 6km but nothing over that yet. I can jog for 40mins but I am finding it tough! Xsarah88 said:

That's fantastic, keep it up hon. Don't worry about what's to come... You'll be well fit for it by next week, just take it nice and slow and let your mind wander while you run rather than focusing on the time (I find myself fighting my instinct to stop running). Just keep telling yourself you _can_ do it

Joined a gym this week and been twice since I joined today did week 4 day 2 run was alot harder in warmer weather but I managed it...week5 looks scary. Was tempted to continue my running in the gym but iv read its easier on a treadmill and I want to do a 5k outside so gonna stick with outside as it also let's me clear my head

Best stick with outside... You could do 1 workout a week on treadmill and the other 2 outside, that'd probably be fine Don't worry about week 5, I used to worry when I looked ahead but found when the time came I was able to do it!
I've started bridge to 10k. Done 2 days so far, its tough going!!

Yeah it's tough but I want to do it Can't imagine being able to jog for 60 mins though. Think I banjaxed my leg lol, the calf on my left leg is aching like mad!
That's class hon, that's why I like c25k. Builds you up nice and slow so you don't do too much and end up giving up. It's excellent when you have little goals like that to aim for. Have you thought of signing up for a 5k and working towards it? X

You can do it! If I manage to do the 5k, oh said he would train with me for the 10k as he is fit anyways and would help me along. I have looked an there's none on near me I can find! Nearest race for life is in belfast and its women really who do it and I'd want to do with my my bf...so idk! Other than that I haven't saw any near me! It's strange!
Owee calf sounds sore, it's the Warmer weather that was going for me today, this country isn't used to these nice days ha! Plus I have asthma and for first time my chest was hurting abit. Also my running legging things keeps falling down when I run so im constantly having to yank them up every few yards ha. So it's me with iPhone in one hand, inhaler and water bottle in other hand trying to find away to keep my trousers on the whole way! Must be a sight ha

You should do the race for life! You don't needed your OH to do it with you but you could bring him along to cheer you on
I'm doing pieta house 5k run in may (I'm not sure if they do this one in the north but I'll check). I'm dreading the mini marathon lol, I'm finding 40 mins jogging hard enough but I'm gonna keep at it!Lol its roasting here today so I didn't go out jogging, I might go early tomorrow morning. Lol I have legging things that fall down when I run too!! I don't bring water cuz it does me head in carrying it hehe. I've been braving a pair of shorts last few times I went out because they have a string I can tighten so they don't fall down... Plus it's too warm for trackies.

Today was my rest day, but I walked alot round the coast...I feel the need to do some form of exercise these days if it be the c25k, gym or walking...it must be the new me ha
I need to get more exercise gear, I wear the leggings, just knee length ones but id like a pair of shorts. Dreading it being warm again tomorrow for my run but gonna go out first thing and hopefully all will be ok, last day of week 4!
