hi guys hope you don't mind if I joim in. I did my first session today and feel great. For someone who has never really done any running before I found it a challenge but I was so happy I had achieved it when I finished.
I treated myself to a new pair of runners today when I finished session 1 as I really dont have any appropriate running shoes and they were 1/2 price. Planning on doing session 2 week 1 on tuesday and session 3 thurs or fri.
Welcome Sararose! I've never run before either so we can be beginners together!
I piked out of my run this morning as it was raining when I woke up. So I will do a session on the spin bike tonight (didn't do one last night in the end) and try to do the last session of week1 of the C25K tomorrow.
I need to step up my exercise routine a knotch so I'm going to start this program. For the past three weeks I have been walking EVERY day from between 30 mins to 2 hours. I am feeling fitter (and have lost a few kilos) but it's starting to slow up and not feel as challenging anymore.
Well..... running at midday, in the 32 degree heat, after not doing any exercise for four days, and trying out week 2 was a bit of a challenge..... I didn't make the last run interval for the heat But will get my second week2 run in on Friday morning....
I'm sorry to report that I'm having to temporarily stop my participation in this challenge.
I have a knee that's showing signs of arthritis, but since losing 23kgs, it's stopped hurting me. I can cycle without any pain at all, so I thought running would be okay too.
Except since I've started running, I've developed a 'clicking' sound in that knee, not just when running but when doing simple things like driving or climbing stairs. It doesn't really hurt but I think I should get it checked out, as I don't want to be doing any damage, especially as the program gets more challenging as the weeks pass. So for now, I'm going to give up running.
I'll still be cycling though, so am not giving up exercise, as such. Just running, for now.
I alternated between walking and jogging - not strictly to the C25k plan though. I would jog between lamp posts and then walk between the next and so on. It was EXHILERATING!!! I really enjoyed jogging and felt fantastic for it. A bit sore today but this is the next natural step for me. My 5km walks aren't as challenging as they once were.
I cannot wait to get back out there tonight and push myself a bit harder!
Oh Sushee, that's not good. I hope it's nothing serious. Thank you for encouraging us to start this challenge
Amy - well done on getting out! Have you downloaded the podcasts? They tell you when to walk and when to run and the music tempo is set to whether you are running or walking at the time. It's great!
Well, I've been at a funeral most of the day so I hope to get my run in very soon after I feed DS and put dinner on. I'll be doing the first session of Week 2.
