Today I did wk3 r1 couch to 5k and I need to complete it this time !

[Howlongtillbedtime]

For one pointless -excuse- reason after another I get so far and then stop .

This time I have signed myself up for a 5k in May so I have to do it now . I do enjoy it once I get into it and I really want to finish something for once .

If anyone has any hints tips or kicks up the arse spare I would appreciate it .

I need a bit of a kick. Meant to go out last night for week 3 run 1. Still procrastinating now.

Right I will go.

rafals

innui well done!! That's a great time. Is that including warm up and cool down or just through the running part?

boat hope DD is on the mend

world a walk is better than sitting on the couch.

how did you get out?

I've just finished W8R3 so am officially graduated. I didn't 5k today (6 including warm up and cool down) and am feeling very quite proud

*i did 5k. Not didnt

I seem to have lost my mojo went out but only managed 3.5km before I gave up 😣

Sorry for the pity party well done who 👏🎉🏃

It still 24 degrees here. Could do with that force 7 wind back. Far to hot to run comfortably here.

Hi all !

It's too bloody hot here to run . How is everyone getting on ?

I have been to the gym the last couple of days but it's not the same and it is harder .

Week 3 run 1 the other night wasn't great. Set my asthma off a bit. Still thinking about going tonight but this heat and humidity is putting me off.

It doesn't look like it will get better for a while though.

Well done for trying the gym though.

Week 3 run 2 done. Apart from the ridiculous heat, was easier than the other night.

Very impressed rafals

I couldn't even run at 8 this morning .

I never thought I would be complaining about the heat because it interfered with my running

There was a bit where I considered throwing myself into the sea or standing under the showers on the beach.

I think that's known as having caught the running bug how.

Hello all. I'm still around but haven't been out in goodness knows how long. Too hot, too tired and too bloody grumpy too. Have been consoling myself with lots of ice cream and cake which is the perfect way to go about getting a "summer body"

Hats off to the ones still going!

Decided it was too hot to go out tonight. This heatwave needs to end soon. I need to run off this bad mood.

I went out this morning but probably only ran 3km at most. I have done 26000 steps today according to my phone. It'll make up for the day last week that I only did 600 😁

I decided this morning to start the 10k trainer so W9R1 done. It was actually ok although I do need to find a longer route and I may have swore at some ppi person who phoned me from a normal mobile no. about a minute from the end 😠 if it had been a private no. I wouldn't have answered.

boat I'll join you on the B210k! I'm going out tonight for the first run. I'm hoping it won't be too hot - am planning on doing it when one of the children is at their sport so around 6.30.

Good luck for tonight who

It's really overcast here this morning which really helped. I never even switched my distance tracker on, so no idea how far I went.

Didn't finish it tat night

Went out but it's so so hot and I didn't have my music as my phone is about to die. Managed 5k

Will head out another night/morning.

(Am a sweaty sweaty mess as I type this!! )

Hello is it ok to join you guys?

I haven't done any exercise for a good few years and have struggled with motivating myself for anything more than a few days at a time. However, have discovered C25K and am shocked to find that I enjoy it and look forward to going out, and get annoyed when I can't

I'm just about to start W4. Have looked through what is coming up in the weeks ahead and am a bit concerned that W5 goes from 5 minutes to 8 minutes to 20 mins! Ahhh!

Welcome Monty.

I'm just about to start on week 4 again too.

Really want to go out tonight, but went last night. Not sure if skipping 1 rest day would be terrible. And I was running week 5 a few weeks ago so it's not like I would be pushing myself too much.

Welcome monty

rafals I run days together all the time just listen to your body.

My ankles are killing today at first I thought it was from doing my first B210K run but then I remembered on Tuesday I walked 26000 steps in toe post sandals no wonder they hurt.

Welcome Monty

I went out today for a 5k at lunch (not enough time for 10). I'm enjoying the 5k distance and think I might stick at it for a little while. boat I might be back but for the moment I'll stick here.

rafals I go out on consecutive days if I feel up to it. Not tomorrow as my ankle is a little sore after today's run.

I did go out, in the end. Week 4 run 1 now complete. Wasn't too bad although the last 5min run was a bit of a stretch. Had to get through it by setting myself lampposts to run to.

Ankle is a bit sore but that might still be the shoes rather than anything else.

I'm not sure when I switched to being the person who gets bored and wants to go for a run though.

Didn't mange week 4 run 2 last night. Think I might need to stick with this week for a bit.

Really don't like week 4 at all.

So I seem to have become the kind of person who takes running clothes on holiday. 5km along the beach it was gorgeous.
