Against all odds I've also just done Week 5 Run 3.. 20 minutes non stop!! :O

 

[kerryathome]

well done everyone! you're all doing fab,

I tried week 8 day 2 last night but desperately needed the loo as soon as I started running, then had one got back on treadmill, and needed one again straight away, and again.....

so I quit after 10 mins, not because I wasn't managing the run but I thought I was going to wee myself (sorry TMI lol) think I had too much caffeine yesterday (bladder irritant) but going to check for urine infection .....
will try again tonight lol

 

[kerryathome]

nope no sign of infection, must just be old age.....

I'm not able to get out tonight, so will be doing Week 6 Run 1 tomorrow evening! So strange how it drops back down to intervals after the 20m one. Hey ho, not complaining

 

[kerryathome]

I know I found that strange too x

 

[*Emsie*]

I puzzled about that too but have just done day 1 wk 6 and its slightly longer but with intervals and the next full run is 25 minutes so I think its building up ouor stamina (oooeeer)
I did it but found it really hard! Think my legs etc were still aching from last time!

 

[runningwild]

:superwoman:Have done week eight day one to the count down to discovery takeoff for background music to my couch to 5k. Really bizarre.


Anyway chuffed at being able to run 30mins non stop.

Week 6 Run 1 done this afternoon when I'm still a little bit hungover! Found it surprisingly easy under the circumstances?!

 

[*Emsie*]

Did wk 6 Day 2 today

 

[runningwild]

Week 8 day 2 Done Happy days

Not sure whether it is anywhere near 5k so looking forward to park run on sat to check.

on the treadmill I'm only clockinng up about 3.5 k and thats with the 5 min warm up walk, might need to speed up lol x

 

[runningwild]

I know it's a bit worrying. Not sure whether I will be able to run faster

Anyway we will see just hope I don't embarrass myself. Will let you know how long it takes.

Was just going to put that had completed wk 6 but have just discovered that I should have done 25 mins run instead of the 20 that I did! Damn! Not sure could have done any longer tbh and nevermind will just try next time!
