Couch to 5k

[FunMum2019]

Started this again today (have completed it a few times over the years!). Anyone else beginning it so we can cheer each other on?

I went out and did a week 1 run walk combo and my knee is bust

You gotta stick with it. Know how you feel, but you'll be good if you keep plugging away.

Week 3 run 1 done!

Week 3 run 3 done! I have to do my runs Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.

Today felt really good, i'd added new music to my play list and actually felt like I could continue running, im sure I won't be feeling the same for next week though with the longer runs!

Brilliant! New playlists definitely help 🙂

Hows your knee doing now?

Still stiff!
I'm walking around and will do that

Week 4 run 1 today, currently sat on the sofa trying to hype myself up for it! 🙈

Was planning to do W2R3 at Parkrun on Saturday but the tailwalker insisted in talking to me so I did it this morning instead. Start week 3 on Wednesday.

Week 4 run 2 done.
My goodness its windy out there! Felt like I was running against it majority of the way. Rain was bad too, its stopped now, I should have waited really rather than get soaked but I just wanted to get it done and out of the way.

Oh sorry, I didn't see that there was this active thread and posted on an old one. Anyway, I am repeating Week 4 after progressing too quickly but have now figured out that if I run really, really slowly, it actually feels really easy. That realisation has been wonderful. 😄

I've done week 4 run 3 today and feel I might do one more before going to week 5.

I think that can be a good idea. (I love that C25k is so flexible.) A couple of weeks ago, I struggled with Week 4 but continued on anyway and then of course failed the subsequent weeks. I think redoing days until you feel super comfortable is probably better. When I went back to Week 4 to restart the programme I told myself I would only continue once I can run it really comfortably three times in a row.

PS. I'm doing Week 4, Day 3 tomorrow, so we are almost on the same schedule!

Yaayyy! Good luck tomorrow!

Week 3, day 2 done- I am back!!!

Week 4 is done. I did it properly this time round so I'm quite optimistic about Week 5!

Well done! When are you doing run 1 of week 5? I will be doing it Monday. Its annoying as I can't run on friday, Saturday or Sunday, so thats three days off in a row.

That's excellent, well done x

Week 5 run 1 complete, felt good today as it was three longer runs. I prefer less runs as it feels the session is completed quicker.

Well done! I did it yesterday (in slow motion 😄). I'm trying to run consistently every second day.

Well done! Ideally id like to do the same, run every other day, but I cant unfortunately.

Had a nosey for run 2 and 3 of this week, oh my goodness run 3 is running for 20 minutes?! Am I really ready??!!!

Finished week 3 today. Start week 4 on Wednesday

I guess we'll both see on Thursday. 😄

I've just done run 2 of week 5 and it wasn't too bad.

I only realised yesterday that the programme is 9 weeks, I thought it was 12 for some reason.
