Hi, Whist on my Summer holiday I decided to start C25K so myself and a friend completed the first two days in France. I live in the West of the UK and Vicky on the East but we've both continued with the training. Today we completed day 2 of week 2. I look forward to my training days but each day is hard. I'm not sure if I'll manage week 3 but today I didn't hear the timer and ran 2 minutes instead of 11/2. I find it comical that my 6 year old son can run the full 30 minute session with out stopping. I really want to be able to enter the Bristol Park Run and my 14 daughter has said she'll enter the junior 5K, she can already run a 5K but currently just runs on her own. I also go to spin and I love kettlebells and the strength they give me. I'm 44 but feel fitter than I have ever felt before. Marianne

I also have this issue, here are the tips my GP/podiatrist has given me: 1) get good quality running shoes that have arch support (I find Asics work well) 2) before you run, freeze a bottle of water. Then after exercising, stand on the frozen bottle and roll it back/forward under your foot. 3) see your physio/podiatrist/doctor often to make sure you're not doing any damage. Best of luck
