WandaV Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Completed week 8 day 3 today! But am I really finished running? Not by a long shot! I'll be signing up for the Turkey Trot and run my first 5K on Thanksgiving morning. And now I want to see how fast and how long I can run. This is kind of addictive! (thank y'all for the support!)

Azatol Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Congrats and good luck. Just be mindful to dial up your weekly mileage gradually to let your body acclimate. Running is a contact sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WandaV Posted November 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Today I did w9d1. Went to a different track. With Mountains. Urrrr..... Hills.... Ok. They are definitely inclines. LOL! Between the cold air and the inclines, I felt the new challenge. I only ran 2 miles in the 30 minutes. I've decided to be proud of that and to see it as a new chance to test myself and get stronger/faster. I'll continue to train there until my first fast-approaching 5K.

Azatol Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Wanda, that's PERFECT. The Couch to 5K program is actually not the best named. It's really a teach you 30 minutes of endurance program but that was a much less catchy name. Once you've established that running base, shoring up the numbers really isn't all that hard. Over the next couple of weeks you'll find yourself naturally running that a little bit quicker, and by adding on a few minutes every week, you'll be to 5k in no time. All because you've crossed the magic threshold of running half an hour.... YOU WIN! WandaV and Photoyogi24 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azatol Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Thank you, Azatol. I feel like a winner. You were a winner the day you stepped out that door to start! Ruthie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
