It's around 3km so I'm going to aim for getting round it twice. I know I can do 3km fine, so am trying to push myself.

Sounds like you've made a good start Jamie

You take it easy little lady! If you don't feel up for running on Thursday then don't! One week won't hurt

ANd Jamie - well done yoooooooou!

Went to do my 5km last night. Started off fine and upped my speed to 7.5 which was a bit better. Got to 3.5km when I remembered I'm back in the gym tonight doing weights....on legs. So I decided ti was probably better to stop at 4km

Anyhow, did 4km in total and fel fine afterwards although just below my left knee aches a bit this morning so will have to keep an eye on that today.

Wooooo, I'm back! 6km was a little ambitious and I only ended up going once around the lake, but I recovered very quickly afterwards and it wouldn't take much for me to go round twice I don't think. It took me around 20 minutes, but I couldn't have held a conversation with someone for the last 1km so I think I was going too fast again. I gave myself stitch towards the end too, which was annoying. Enjoyed it though, despite the wind being in my face most of the time.

Think I need some new trainers. These ones are a couple of years old now and have lost their bounce. I could feel the jolting in my shins a little bit, so I need to look for some reasonably priced ones that I can use just for running.

Will go again tomorrow

I get a stitch nearly every time I run !

Glad you enjoyed it

I'm doing 4 mile jogs 4 times a week atm, and I tried this talking shizzle. Problem: it looks like I am running along the road, out in the middle of nowhere (an apt description of where I live) talking to myself..

How are you getting away with it at the gym, unless you strike up some inane banter with the guy/girl on the treadmill next to you?

Desmo · 27-06-2008, 22:16

We all talk to each other at our gym, it's great. There's always someone to talk **** with

lostkat · 28-06-2008, 08:01

Oh I don't ACTUALLY talk. I just know if I'd be able to or not

I would try and sing along with my mp3 player, but if you can sing then you're going too slow

Got up today at 6:30 (couldn't sleep any longer) feeling ultra knackered and thought "no WAY am I going to be able to run this morning". Sat here for 3/4 hour in a daze and then got my kit on and went out. Managed to run just over 5km without stopping once. HOORAY!!! My breathing was a LOT easier this time around and I even managed to say (not gasp) "Morning" to three dog walkers. I did that route when I tried training for RFL last year and had to stop less than halfway round for a breather, so I'm dead proud. It's certainly inspired me to do more!!

No stitch either

6:30... then running... I don't think I could run very far this morning.

Though

If I heard an icecream van going up the road I'd give it a damn good shot.

Well done Kate!

Thank you

Feel all full of energy now!! I'm sure several trips down the tip to get rid of my heinous kitchen units will stop that
