Thats excellent Dewinter. What are you planning once you finish?
 
Hi Sweet Pink, my plan is just to try and run 3-4 times a week. Not sure I want to try for 10k but I would like to work on speeding up a little lol! I am doing just over 5k now but taking me around 40 mins
 
Good on you Dewinter!! It's a great feeling completing it! sofartogo I have done no exercise since, I had visitors for 2 weeks, then my twins started nursery two weeks ago so was settling them in, then had one or other sick since last week, one with bronchitis at moment. All excuses I know as I could find the time if I wanted but just so hot here now and I am so tired all the time, it happens me every summer!

Wooooohoooooo dewinter!!! Well done! How amazing r u feeling right now?!?! X
 
Well done, dewinter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Well done Dewinter, what an awesome achievement!

I completed W5 D1 yesterday. It was easier than I thought, in fact I quite enjoyed it. I will do W5 D2 tomorrow, although the thought of an 8min run is a bit daunting.

I have managed to yet a physio appt for the trapped nerve in my neck for Thursday morning (they tried to offer me mid-July but I threw my toys out of the pram). I am a bit worried that they will tell me not to run for a while which will spoil my progress but we shall see. I guess the important thing is to get my neck better, but I am so enjoying the running it would be a shame to stop. I don't think the running is making it worse, in fact it takes my mind off the pain. Will keep you informed lol :)
 
I've been hanging around this thread for ages and downloaded the app. I really want to start on it but have recently had bad pains in my knee joints and have got a doctors appointment booked for mid July. Do you think it's satisfactory if I do c25k with a slow jog/power walk? Reeeeeeeeally wanna start on it but need to take it easy until I see doc about my knees.

Awesome, I shall give it a go as a power walk/jog thing then and see how my knees cope. Been getting me down a bit recently but tracking improvements will make it much easier.
 
Thanks Sofartogo,Biggysmalls,Eatwell & LilyintheValley! I forced myself to go out yesterday even though it was warm. I ran in a wooded area so it was shaded but still felt tough. I was so pleased to complete the plan just got to keep it up now! next plan is to speed up a little bit. Including the warm up/down I did 5.1k in 39 mins
 
39 minutes is amazing dewinter! I was at the same point as you not too long ago and I've stopped doing it! Sob!! I really want to start again but don't want to start from the beginning- I want to go out but don't want to be disappointed that I can't do it anymore.

What do you guys think? I was nearly finished week 4, should I try and do week 4 again and go from there? Or go back a week to week 3? Xx

Go for week 4 and grit ur teeth!!!! You can do it!!!! X
 
Yipppeee! Finished it too!!
Biggest sense of achievement especially as some days I went out in the pouring rain and when I was tired/busy. I haven't measured the distance to be sure it's 5k and to be honest, I dare say it's not as I'm quite slow but I think I'm going to try to do 3 more 30 mins runs next week and then try the bridge to 10k as I think I might get demotivated by trying to speed up so I'll focus on endurance. I've said it before and I'll say it again - I would really recommend this programme to anyone, especially people who think they'll never be able to run. Also, my weight hasn't changed but I am finally noticing a difference to my body after months of plateau.....I'm not necessarily slimmer but I feel I'm finally getting less wobbly (mind you, I only started noticing this in Week Eight) The bridge to 10k will be a huge challenge but the way I'm feeling right now, anything is possible. :D
