Only 4 hours too late Grin

Well done strawberries

StrawberriCream · 27/05/2016 13:25

Week4 run2 done, got bitten on the cheek by something and a bird poo' d all down my arm but I did it!!!

SkodaLabia · 27/05/2016 12:55

GO IN!

There, done.

BitOutOfPractice · 27/05/2016 08:42

I'm sitting outside the gym. Make me go in Confused

0ellenbrody0 · 27/05/2016 08:26

Still here. Up to 34.5 mins now and managing ok. I think yesterday must have been National ' Let your Dog Crap on the Pavement' day.

I had to sidestep one too many turds, disgusting.

It's weird isn't it, how sometimes it's really difficult and other times it's manageable.

Are you going slowly enough? I've found reading up a bit on good running form has really helped, I do quick very short strides rather than long ones, and concentrate on landing lightly. It definitely makes it easier.

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 26/05/2016 22:15

No i just couldn't quite do all of the run bits and kept having to slow to walking when I have managed that run comfortably before.
Was hoping to move on to the next run on the weekend, hopefully will go better.

SkodaLabia · 26/05/2016 21:12

What do you mean by crap? Did you have to finish early or something?

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 26/05/2016 20:51

Week four day one done again and I was crap.
It's warm here and a lot of the run was hilly
Very disappointed Sad

SkodaLabia · 26/05/2016 13:30

Oh no Di, how awful.

W7R3 done today. Nice cool weather, Only-A-Bit-UnFit Friend and I trotted and puffed our way along our route, and rather enjoyed ourselves. Smile

BitOutOfPractice · 25/05/2016 13:54

Oh no Dont! I hope you're on the mend very soon Thanks

I did W2D3 last night. Felt OK. I'm feeling super focused still

UntilTheCowsComeHome · 25/05/2016 13:29

Oh no DontDoItDi that must've been really horrible for you Sad

DontDoItDi · 25/05/2016 12:22

Sigh Two nights ago I was out running and fell flat on my face. Caught my foot on an uneven pavement or it just dragged a bit and caught. One split lip, broken tooth, skinless knee, grazed elbow, grazed chin, and a lot of other bruises and grazes later, I’m out of it altogether. I'll really miss it but I had a sudden fall last year too so I seem to be at risk.

Who knew running could be so dangerous? Sad

Good luck to everyone who’s keeping at it.

UntilTheCowsComeHome · 25/05/2016 11:03

Well done Strawberri and hobnob

Did week 8 run 2 today. Managed it very slowly but my hips started to hurt. Never had that happen before. Confused

StrawberriCream · 24/05/2016 18:28

Also did week4 run 1 today and felt good!!!! I can run for 5minutes without stopping!!! (Who am I???)

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 23/05/2016 20:13

Week 4 run 1 done again
Really felt ok
What has happened to me Grin

BitOutOfPractice · 23/05/2016 09:18

Ugh. Hope you feel better soon Flowers

StrawberriCream · 23/05/2016 09:09

After an awful d&v bug all Friday /Saturday I think I'm going to have to wait till Wednesday to run as a brisk ish walk on the school run this morning made me feel nauseous :/

BitOutOfPractice · 23/05/2016 08:43

Good look Until

I expected to be crippled with my knees today but I'm fine! No chance to run today with a loooooong car journey but I'll be back on it tomorrow

UntilTheCowsComeHome · 23/05/2016 08:38

Going to be starting Week 8 this week.

Need to stick with running outside as I've only done one run outside and I struggled.

I've planned my route and hopefully it'll be about the right distance.

Wish me luck.

BitOutOfPractice · 22/05/2016 22:54

It gets you like that! I've done W2D2 today. Knees suffering a bit but it's done. Tuesday before I can go again

SkodaLabia · 22/05/2016 16:28

Into week 7 now. I'm with you hobnobs, it's weird how totally hooked on running I've become. I've become a bit Landmark Forum Forever Living about the whole thing. Grin

BitOutOfPractice · 21/05/2016 23:28

I started w2 today. Didn't feel too bad. Stiff now though although I have spent all afternoon trailing round the shops with dd2. Joy

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 21/05/2016 20:05

Well done ollen
Dont worry about time at the moment it will improve slowly

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 21/05/2016 20:03

I admit it I am hooked.
Did week 4 run 1 this evening
2x3 minute runs
2x4 minute runs
Longest distance yet and nowehere near as bad as i was expectin
Think i will repeat this one a couple of times
And definitely no runs tomorrow Grin
