MoorfNZ Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 So, I've managed to avoid any form of exercise in my 47 years, but that's all about to change! I have just finished Week 1 on C25k, and signed myself up for a 5km run in November (to motivate me to keep at it!)I'm currently running on a treadmill as I have terrible social anxiety and just can't bring myself to run outdoors, plus I live rurally with no pavements to pound and don't fancy running on gravel just yet!I can't believe I'll ever be able to run 30 mins straight, but if I don't try I won't know. I've been doing the 60 sec runs with no problems so far... so here's hoping!Looking forward to reading everyone else's experiences and maybe getting a kick up the butt for motivation when "I can't do it" phase kicks in!Helen... in New Zealand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoorfNZ Posted August 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 Loreleil - let's DO IT!!I found day one a real battle.. so I just slowed down on day 2 (probably not much faster than walking but enough to get a bounce going!) - on day 3 for my final run I did 1min 30secs and stuck my fingers up at the timer like HELL YEAH!Helen Loreleil12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoorfNZ Posted August 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 How's progress Loreleil?? I admit, I nearly gave up halfway through the first day of Week 2... but after the effort I'd made in Week 1 to keep going I just kept running and running... I hope this week gets easier!!

MoorfNZ Posted August 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I bet you thought I'd given up! Nope, I had a kidney infection... but I have just finished week 2, finally, and on to week three in a couple of days because i have a sore knee ... not sure how that happened :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
