Through rain and snow and skies of grey
We will keep running the C25K
Though lack of sleep and time do test us
We wil not let excuses best us
For 2012 will be the year
For weight loss, fitness and good cheer
Nine weeks of running isn't that long
So come on ladies, get those running shoes on!

Welcome to all runners, joggers, speed walkers and waddlers! All levels of fitness are welcome here on the Couch to 5k support thread. For more information see the NHS website

Music is ok mrs dv but not good if that makes sense Wink

I really need to sit down tonight and catch up with how everyone is getting on but have to keep posting as soon as I get in from a run or I will forget.

W2R3 done and it feels amazing! I really will be back later to read up

How is week 3?

Just back from W3R2, ran the last 3 minutes and felt amazing, I could well get a little bit addicted to this running malarky Grin

Still aching afterwards but not for as long.

Good luck for your next run all and weblette, I have spoken to the relevant peeps about a webchat with Laura, fingers crossed but no promises.

Good luck derkins keep going. The most important thing atm is getting out there 3 times a week for half an hour. You will get there, don't feel deflated - you are doing so so well.

Well done all, W3R3 done, whoop. Feeling so ready for week 4 but 3 minutes to 5 minutes and then 20 in week 5 seems bonkers! Shock what a huge step up!

Oh well, will keep on keeping on, can someone break down week 4 for me please?

Well done Rebecca Grin

Thank you, you are very lovely, this thread is keeping me going.

Just back from W4R2 and I tracked how far I went, 2.4 miles, is that about right, I have no idea. Although I fear it may be a little Blush on the slow side.

Well done all, keep it up, you are keeping me going Smile

W4r3 done!
Bring on week 5 Grin
I know it sounds super wanky but I feel amazing. Sometimes struggle to kick my arse out of the front door but never regret it once I'm back home and feeling smug Grin

Hope everyone is well, new thread soon, no?
