Couch to 5 kilometres (C25K) Challenge!

If you go out first thing or wait until evening then it shouldn't be too warm for ya. Middle of the day might be sweltering like today, ugh.
Get yourself to tk maxx and grab a cheap pair of shorts, that's where I got one of my pairs! I took a walk today aswell instead of running. I'll either go tomorrow or tuesday for my next run!

Thanks Carly hon xx

Hey girls, you are all doing great on the running, mine is very hit and miss, lol. Didn't go either today, was too warm so just wandered around with the hubby and kids.

See you signed up for another 5k Sarah, really is addictive isn't it. I signed up for another 10k in May too. Don't even know if I'll be fit for it but I'll try. Getting the Nike+ running watch thing this week just to track my distance as I don't have an iphone or anything fancy like that lol. Starkissed you are going great too, you should definately sign up for some fun run, its great incentive x
 
Was definitely too warm. I could barely walk around in the heat let alone go jogging lol.
Yep, another 5k the may bank holiday weekend. Ugh don't think I'd be fit for a 10k in may, finding the training tough as it is lol. Hopefully I'll be alright by june!?
If someone had told us this time last year we'd be running 5 and 10k's we'd probably have scoffed at the thought! ;)

Wow my 10k is that weekend too lol. I know I definately would have laughed and told you to feck of if you'd said I'd run around the corner never mind a 5k
 
Did my week 4 day 3 today, next stop week 5 :) concerned though as I will be away mon-fri next week and won't be able to run...hope it doesn't meal il be crap when I return!

Might go out tomorrow again...I think iv got the bug! Plus don't want to be in gym in nice weather when I can enjoy the sunshine outside. Although I know your meant to rest up but I don't feel sore at all and week 5 day 1 isn't much of a jump up from week 4...so I shall see
 
Well done :) how come u can't run when away? X
 
Well technically I could but I'm off to OHs parents house with only hand luggage and I couldn't fit my running shoes and stuff with me but also I don't really like idea of running on public streets, normally like now I run on my road which I in countryside not many cars and never hardly any people whereas his parents lives in a housing estate in a town, maybe when I'm better I might be brave enough to face the public paths ha.

They have a cross trainer tho in there house so will try and go on that's few times
 
Don't fret hon, I took like 2 weeks off at christmas and got straight back into it in the new year so I'm sure you'll be grand too. Planning a run tomorrow myself :)
If you really do feel up to it tomorrow then give week 5 day 1 a go, I've done some days 2 in a row every so often. X

Hiya and good luck starting Monday. Follow a plan and you'll do great. I found a big difference in my figure once I started jogging. I definately have leaner thighs and a leaner tummy. Great for all over body really. Just make sure you eat enough on jogging days because it can burn alot of cals. xxxx

Forgot to post that I did 8km during the week on my long run and I am so delighted. Only 5ish weeks till my first 10k eeeeekkkkkk. I'll be starting my proper training on Monday xx

That first week I found very hard, but after that it wasn't so bad. Just stick with it and you'll be great. Although I did switch after a few weeks from C25k to the operation transformation running schedule and found that alot easier. Find a programme that you think will suit your time and stick with it.
 
Well first day done and found it ok . Delighted with myself cos this time last year i struggled to walk never mind jog. Bring on wed for day 2 :):)
