concretefingers Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Hello all. I'm 47 years old, weigh 128kg, Have cerebral palsy and have never run anywhere. Recently I have started to feel old and weak so decided to look at ways of getting fit. Today I have done day two of week one and strangely found it harder than day one. I couldn't run for sixty seconds today and had to stop one or twice and walk for a few seconds before running again.this morning I walled my dog for 1.5 miles so I'm guessing that has affected me because my thighs were aching after the dog walk. The walk was twice as far as normal. So short walks on running days from now on. Tbh I can't comprehend that I could be running 5k by Sumner time but so far so good and I'm enjoying it. Here's to D3W1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyAnn Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Hey there Concretefingers, You got this. You can do it. Look at you go now!!!! Especially with a dog who will love to go with you and not complain at all. I miss my labs. Now I'd have to carry my 5lb dog, uh, no!!! Lol. I see you posted kg, so you must be overseas??

Guest TrishE Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Hello and welcome! Its awesome that you want to get fit and youve started your journey with C25K. Its pretty common for people to have a bit more trouble with day two than day one. Your body is working muscles its not used to working so itll be a bit fatigued. Dont worry too much about it and keep on keeping on to day three Good luck! I hope you keep us posted on your progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kat94 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 If you need to repeat week one, repeat it. I have repeated some days because I want to feel confidant in starting the next week. Remember that doing the workout is better than doing nothing! Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
