I finished the plan today & did my first 5k race. I was so scared I'd come last but I didn't & had my best time yet! I never thought I could do it but I did. Best of luck to the rest of you.
Well I ran for 32 minutes straight and found it quite alright. Much easier without the intervals walking lol. So don't know if I'm gonna continue c25k or just build on todays run
Sampford75 said:Hello! Can I join too? I haven't run for years (and when I did I was so slow I was once overtaken by someone in an electric wheelchair - oh the shame...) but I'm about to start again to try and kick start my flagging weight loss. I'm trying to lose 1.5 st of baby weight and am limited to running when hubbie is back from work/not working away and can mind the kids but I could do with knowing other people are struggling with the running too!
Plan to start tomorrow night when he's back.

I did a 5k run today. Felt like a lot longer because I added a load of hills in. X

Well done hun. What is your average speed and how long does it take you to run 5k?
Right, so I have done my day 2 of week 7. Really enjoying myself now, the weather is getting better and there are a lot more people running outside. Kinda feels like one big happy family .

aw_bless said:Oops I haven't updated this! My friend suggested I tried the run10k app on my phone as it assumes no prior running experience and in her experience it gets you fitter quicker. The session are around an hour, so twice as long and 3 times a week. It's similar to c25k! I'm on week 3 now and my legs feel like jelly and I love it!!!

It's taking 35 mins now to run 5k. My 2nd km is always slowest- why is that??? I am adding greater distances now or trying to go faster and on Thursday I made sure I added some more hills to my journey!! That was hard!! I drive part of the route on my way home from work today and have to say I was most impressed with myself!!!
Well done on getting to week 7 unscathed!! The end is in sight!!!
