Couch to 5k challenge

Nightmare biggysmalls! I run with my dog. He's big and scary looking!!! Def feel better with him! Be careful if u don't have a handy dog to take!! Planning to do week 9 day1 tonight. X
 
Glad you trusted your instincts biggysmalls. I run off the beaten track and it's what got me into walking. I really don't like running alongside roads. I go out really early and I do feel safe then.

I need to make my run less boring so I am going to see what mix I can put on my mp3 to keep me inspired.

I have completed all the runs now but think I now need to improve my fitness and pace rather than increasing my distance. I looked at some training programmes for longer runs but don't think I am ready for them.
 
:eek: Safety first :eek: Glad I have a run buddy...
Didn't feel like it today (had 2 exams Mon night and a late night out on Tues, so still trying to catch meself up!), but did W3D2 and felt better for it! Also lost 2.5lbs at WI so feeeeling in the zone:D:D
Change to Sat am for D3
Also, a lady at WI told me about a Sat am 5k free weekly run at out local park...with barcodes things to keep track of your PB's - maybe after RFL x x

I did w2 d2 today and it wasn't bad. I saw a notice that a local running club use the field twice a week so I might look into that once I have completed c25k.

Less of me - I live near the Sun centre, the prom is nice and flat and quite quiet down by splash point, not too many people but just enough people so there isnt any 'issues'.
 
In to the last week!!!

You could walk from your prom and I could walk from mine and meet in the middle! Haahaa! Do you go to group? Only just moved back to the area and Im still debating about joining a group or trying to go to zumba instead.

Well.....
I go to SW on a Monday. Then zumba on Monday in Rhyl leisure 7.30-8.30, Wednesday st Asaph 6-7 and thursday Prestatyn 7-8. It's brilliant, you can start low impact and when you get used to moves and your fitness improves you can do more. It suits everyone. Then I do my c25k usually on a Tuesday evening and a Saturday morning.

Wednesdays might be a good one, can you just turn up and join? Is it t-shirt, joggers and trainers? How do you fit all that in!?! I have a lot of work that I have to do at home so i dont get that much time to myself after the munchkin goes to bed. Am going to try to fit c25k in as some special me time.
 
Hi, can I join in please?

I'm a new SW member (Wednesday weigh in), and am starting my C25k today. W1 D1 for me!

Thanks :)

It's the first time I've ever had this much time to do things. I'm on maternity leave :) so daddy has baby for an hour. He doesn't have to do anything as it's all done for him before I go :). Good luck. Maybe see you at zumba :)

I think it's £5.60, if you have a leisure card (£10 year) it's about £4.50.
