 To be fair, shortly after bookmarking it I fell over and hurt my knee. No excuse for the entire of Autumn and Winter though

Well, are you two going to do it then???
My book has arrived and I've just started reading it. Also bought RW this month as it has some tips on running up hills etc. How pro did I feel taking that to the counter??? Went out for a run tonight and forced myself to run slower. I still made a reasonable time, but breathing was LOTS better. Really pleased

Did my "long slow run" this morning, which was 9.63km and included 3 big (in KateWorld) hills. I managed to run it all apart from walking approx 200m on the steepest bit. Really really shocked with myself and very proud too. Didn't think that I'd get the stamina back this quick. My breathing also sorted itself out at around 3km and felt really comfortable. Making a conscious effort to slow things down has helped massively, thanks for your advice ojo
Took the plunge and bought myself some sexy cropped running leggings yesterday. I had no idea they would be sooooo comfortable, not to mention attractive (  ). Makes me wonder why I jogged in my old joggers for so long!!

I was thinking yesterday about trying to do a bit of running...May well try this "couch to 5km" out!
(Although I have no shoes that are good for running - flat soles, insufficient support for arches... :/) Last edited by Pickers; 01-03-2009 at 14:09. |

Since starting work again, it's felt less important to me, so I'll probably see how things go
