"Today's run was quite interesting, went off with the intention of taking the run intervals steadier and the result was a faster time overall and faster and more consistant walk and run sectors. Conclusion is I've been pushing a little too hard. Still had to walk through a run section after the big hill but I felt easier overall and .2km further in the same time as yesterday

"

If anyone is using Runkeeper and want to add me to their Streetteam then 'd be only too pleased

A common mistake early on is to go too fast Matt. I still do it and have to slow myself down or I burn myself out before the end of the run

I went out this AM for an extra run as I was feeling inspired and I seem to have got back some of the addiction to exercise I had when I was working out 6 times a week back when I was in my twenties.

Started with minimal expectations and a plan to do my regular coaching of 90s run 120s walk and got the the end of the 26 minutes by which time I was on the track back along the river, so I kept the runkeeper app on and went for 5k. I didn't run the rest but did a fast walk with a few short jogs. Total time on the end for 5k was 37.5min which is under the 40min target I set myself for the charity run in August already. Based on that I'm going to revise the target to 30 minutes for that run which if I don't walk at all should be achieveable.

Considering my first run was 11 days ago and was 3k after which I think I could happily have curled up and died and was more of a jog followed by a hobble I think this is going OK

Nice one Matt

Good going Matt

Especially given it's fairly warm out there at the moment I imagine, certainly is here in Warwick.

Oooopps I appear to have signed up for another 5k!

This one is right at the end of my c25k training, the Royal Romp is another 6 weeks on so this one will give me a chance to see how I get on

I must be bonkers because despite the fact that when I am out running I curse myself for thinking I could ever put one foot in front of the other, when I get back and for days afterwards I'm thinking about running and my next training session and whether I could run a 10k in the future. At the moment I'm not even capable of running the 5k without haveing to walk 2/5s of the way!

I've registered to run Pants in the Park which is in aid of prostrate cancer in June (25th) and is also in Regent's Park which my all accounts is pretty flat

That lying on your back is awfully dangerous

My feet keep going numb when I run/cycle. Drives me mad. Have to stop to get the feeling back. Wondering if my laces are too tight, but it doesn't feel like it.

I remeber having that issue in the gym but haven't had anything like it when running, I think these shoes are the best I've had they are NB 858's which have quite a lot of support by all accounts, I didn't have gait analysis when I had them fitted but I'm pretty sure I told them about my foot pain etc when they recomended them. Next time I'm gong to get proper gait analysis and get shoes which are ideally suited to me

Worth trying to slacken them off and seeing if it makes a diff, even if they do feel fine as they are. I scrunch my toes up in my shoe when I tie it so it makes me tie a little looser if that makes sense?

Desperately need new trainers but no time to get them fitted and I can't find my current model online anywhere
