Out again tonight and it felt a bit better, I didn't go off at quite such a pace and the walking in the interval training gave me an opertunity to get my breath back rather than just compounding things, the Runkeeper app is good but it doesn't really cater very well for interval training, especially if you find yourself finishing the program before you get home you bugger up your averages. So I'm looking forward to when I'm actually running the whole routes as my performance increases will but much easier to see

5km = 29m 38 secs (I think) no music.

Tough!

Well done MB

PS thigh chaffage due to wearing Cycling shorts to run :/

I'm lucky, never yet had chaffing issues. Just wear bog standard shorts or walking trousers if it's cold.

Yesterday: 5.02 miles = 42:25. Quite happy, the last mile was 7:40.

Went out again. My shins hurt when I run, and my feet hurt, but Kate warned me this might happen as my feet needed correcting with the trainers I got because I lift my feet off the floor the wrong way round when I walk.

It hurts, but I'm not dead

Running is going well, did my 4th run tonight and repeated the first C25K workout although I should have moved to week 2, and actually in hindsight I probably could have done, today felt better than any run so far, my pace is up and I recover quicker after the run sections so on Thursday we'll move from a 60s run/ 90s walk for 20 mins to 90s run/ 120s walk for 20 mins

The rest of the workout is here

Seem daunting at first but if my fitness keeps building; despite my inital reservations I think I'll be able to keep up.

I'm a bit peeved that I put on a huge amount of weight by eating off plan at the weekend but in my heart I know it's mostly water weight and will come off soon enough, maybe I'll stop weighing for a couple of weeks, maybe not

Im repeating the first weeks runs again this week because I didn't get to the end of the whole thing. I'd rather do it right though rather than rush myself. I ache today though, after a run yesterday and then pole class today.

29m 20secs

No music and after body pump... can't believe I am saying this but I am MEGA gutted that I can't run the JP Morgan Chase Run this year (will be on a plane

)

Thats impressive Mei, I'll be happy when I can do 5k in 40 minutes, I'm currently doing an average of 8mins/km which includes my warm up walk but thats over ~3k.

On the flat my running seems to be going well but my route has quite a big hill in it which stops me in my tracks and can turn a jogging interval into a rather out of breath walk interval and can cut into the next one too. I'm not sure whether to keep the hill in with the hope that in a couple of weeks I'll be able to do it without stopping or whether to try a different route in the hope that where my fitness increases on the flat I'll be able to do the hill when I go back to it.

You can see from the graph below the impact that the hill has on my speed and the subsiquent interval.

There are 8 running intervals with walks inbetween and a 5 minute walk to start.

Things are going well although I come back completely exhausted and have to sit down for 10 minutes even after a cool down walk
