krysalyss - thanks for the tip....what sort of stretching do you recommend for the knees? I stretch my quads and hammies already. My knees are killing me tonight so I don't know what's wrong with them. I can barely put weight on my right knee, my left isn't too bad.
Hi everyone I have now finished week 1 and am very happy with myself lol
its going to be over 40C most of the week here so I am going to have to go late at night but I dont want to stop so Ill see how I go
Your knees shouldn't hurt that much! Are your running shoes right for you? It may be worth getting a pair specially fitted so as to help with your knees.
My clicky knee has turned out to be due to the pre-existing arthritic change, and my Dr reckons that because my running shoes have been specially fitted, I can keep running, but preferably only once a week so as not to exacerbate it. So I'm going to try doing the C25K slowly on a once-a-week schedule now.
Sushee - hmm I'd say my shoes have been worn for mainly walking, not running and they're about 18 months old now. Time to go shopping for a new pair I think
That's good news that you can keep running!
Woo hoo - I have finally started properly. DH and I did our first week one run last night. And I am extra proud that we were able to easily manage it even with the added challenge of running along the beach. Doesn't it feel good afterwards!
Now I have to make sure we keep up the good work!!
Hasn't been much movement on this thread for a while...How's everyone going with their jogging?
I'm on week 3 - session 3 still to be done. Let me tell you it's a killer. Am actually doing it in the gym on a treamil cause it's just toooooo hot to do it (early morning or nighttime!!!). Should be able to run outside (whihc I think is heaps harder then running on a treadmil cause I live in a hilly area) next week once it get cooler.
