Sorry, Noyou, I should have read that a bit more closely. I've just done wk 3 and there's actually only four - yes, four! 90s run, 90s walk, 3min run, 3 min walk and repeat that cycle. So once you've done the first three min walk, you know you've only got to run twice again. If you want to know in future by the way, on the NHS choices site there is a page here with a description of each week and what it entails. Having said that, I've just looked up week four and now I'm slightly scared!
The second run of this week was really hard for me because I was dog tired before I went out. For the first time my legs felt heavy and I did feel it in my muscles the following day. I did r3 today but also for the first time I went out in the morning, just after 8pm, and I had gone to bed early (for me) last night. In comparison to the first run of the week when I finished ages earlier than I had in previous weeks, I ended at the same point as in week two, so even though I thought I was going quite slowly I had obviously picked up the pace again quite a bit. I got to wear my new waterproof jacket too even though it didn't rain, shock, and it was very good; clearly the breathable label wasn't lying. I think I might have to try and get out in the mornings more often. It was easy today as ds had an inset day so there was no pressure of school run and /or work. And I'm a third of the way through, yay!
Eau, sorry to hear your dd is still unwell. You will get to do the graduation run!
Flisspaps I haven't any experience of metatarsalitis but I'd think if you have pain after walking for a mile you might want to get some advice before starting running. Hope it works out for you.
Hello eightytwenty. I dream of being able to do 5k in 38 minutes. I reckon if I can ever make it to running 5k [dreams] it will take me about an hour or more!
Hunter well done on completing week one.
Hearmyroar, hope your ankle is better.
