Anyone up for joining me in 0-10k running?

[Weirdointhecellar]

It will be my only time of exercising - but I need to get out of the house. Woke up with anxiety at 4am and forced myself out in the garden for some fresh air and convinced myself to put my trainers on and try a jog it off.

It worked a bit. Mind you it wasn’t far. But I felt better. So I’m downloading the 0-10k app and I’m going to go for it.

I miss my friends. My kids are winding me up. My DH is making me ragey by just breathing. I’ve already been in for three weeks so I’m going to not allow this to swallow me up.

Who fancies it?

Disclaimer - I am NOT a seasoned runner! Far from it. This will kill me!

I'll restart couch to 5k as soon as I'm out of SI, but with you in spirit OP

@Weirdointhecellar I’m starting tonight!

Do ASICS run small ? Narrow ?
Am looking online .... just

I walk in ASICS trainers and my badminton shoes are also ASICS. The trainers are average width but with a wide toe box. The badminton shoes are average width. I need to go up a size in both. ASICS seem to last well, I used to prefer Adidas but always found the mesh disintegrated.

I go up one size for running trainers as, advised by the really good running shop in my town. Yes asics have a wide ish toe box.

I’m in to join you @Weirdointhecellar
I have done C25K before, then I managed to up it to 10 k for a ‘race’ a month ago. I’m pretty slow but steady. Since the race at a month ago I’ve hardly run. This week managed a couple of 5’a and 8 yesterday.

I use MapMyRun you can save all your runs and I think create groups.

Are you doing 5k or 10k? I wasn’t quite sure?

Oooh, I'll join please. I'm a member of a running club but we obviously can't go out together at the moment. I need other people to spur me on, so this sounds good.

My running dropped off over the winter but has started to pick up again now and I'd like to get both quicker and be able to run further too.

I'm planning on going running today; just need to work out the best time to go.

Have found a loop for my attempt at running / walking/ jeffing , and have ordered trainers !

Love the way some posters are making up rules! '30 mins outdoors max'. Says who?
