Couch to 5k challenge

[Karen.hat]

I'm on my way home from work now to do Week 5 Day 3 - my first 20 min run! I'm v scared but will try my best.

Best of luck to you starting out. It's a great plan.

I got to week 4 last time and kept talking myself out of wk4 1 one so going to keep repeating wk 3 when I get there if it happens again

It's a great idea to have a plan like that Karen. All I tell myself every evening I go out is that I'll try my best & that I can always just walk if I really need to. I don't know how but it's worked so far. I actually did my 20 min run this evening!

Fab to see this thread being used again! I completed it in about May last year. Don't get to do much running now but I aim to get back to it as soon as I can. X

Well done on the 20 min run. It's a great feeling. I did the c25k last year and still try to do one run a week. I have found it hard over winter as it's dark in morning and dark when I get home. Can't wait for spring and I shall do more.

W1D2 done. It was tough yesterday actually, harder than day one. Maybe because I'd been on my feet all day with work

Well done aesir. I've read a lot of people saying that they find day 2 the most difficult most weeks. For me I find running at the weekend the hardest for some reason. Best of luck with day 3!

Just ate a banana I'd put in the freezer for a couple of hours. It was great, just like ice cream!!!

Did a brisk brisk walk on an incline today for exercise. W1d3 tomorrow for me anyone else got exercise plans?

 

[aesir22]

W1d3 complete. Was dead easy now i worked out how to reduce the huge incline on the treadmill lol

I bought a load of running gear on line today in the hope that it will inspire me to find more time to fit it into my week! New jacket, gloves, pants, sock - everything!! My little asics clad feet will soon be hitting the Tarmac again!!!

Well done Aesir! X

I did C25K last year and got to week 5. I loved it but fell off the wagon after moving house. I really want to start again, hopefully this week! I need to motivate myself!x
