I still haven't plucked up the courage to start..Living in a small village everyone knows everyone and 3stn overweight me lumbering down the road will soon be all round the place

But at least you would be doing something About it!

I was planning on going at 9 this morning but I've only just woken up - I must have been knackered!

I'll go when I can drag myself out of bed. Only problem is that bank holiday means really busy where I want to run

get up at the crack of dawn, then no one will ever see you

I'm doing a spin class tonight and having tomorrow off... Spin will be my 4th day in a row at gym and my joints are starting to feel it... so i'll maybe get back to c25k on thursday!

I'm seeing a podiatrist on thursday as well to ask about my foot pain and see if i can get a gait/shoe analysis.

I did week 2 day 3 today - my knees hurt at first but were fine after the first run. I am so scared about week 3 though!

Well done!

I did W2 D2 earlier i didnt find it as bad as D1 having a couple of days off really helped.

I'm doing w3d1 tonight and am nervous! Going from 1.5 mins to 3 mins!!

 

[LouQ]

It almost sounds impossible to go to 3 mins but we have to believe we can do it..

 

[xsarahx]

I did it!

I was surprised as I was expecting 2 x 1.5 min runs and then 2 x 3 min runs but it was alternate! But I did it! Last 3 min one killed me.

I walked for an extra 10 mins at the beginning and end too, just for a bit extra. Knackered!!

 

[Hollie5by5]

Well done!

I completed w3 d2 earlier and it's a great feeling once it's done x

completed W3 Day 3 today, couldn't believe it did 2x3min runs!!!!

 

[janey26]

I've completed W4 D3 this week, cant believe I can actually run !!! My friend started on this programme last October and she can now run 10 miles!!

 

[xsarahx]

Wow!

It is so weird to think that if we can carry this through, then in 9 weeks we'll be running 5k!

Anyone planning on entering a race? I want to - not to actually 'race' though - just to run of course!

 

[janey26]

Would love to complete a 10k but not yet, I really enjoy the running, such a great stress reliever too

 

[Donzy84]

Omg repeated wk3 day 3 today just can't face a 4min run...

I have injured feet (plantar fascitis, a quite bad case at that) so I've had to give this up for now...

It's not worth making it worse really!
