Hello all!
A slightly odd question, but is there anyone else on here who runs in the Stoke on Trent area? My usual 2 or 3 haunts are always full of runners with headphones in, and I can't help but wonder who else of them is listening to Laura, just like me!!
I run in Newcastle Under Lyme.. Always wonder the same thing! Just finished week 4 this evening 
Do you? Fantastic! Where abouts do you run? I'm based in Burslem so I run around Westport lake and the canal from Middleport to Etruria. And well done on week 4! I'm not far ahead- today I did run2 of week 5 for the second time, am probably going to do it once more before attempting the biggie!
I'm in Newcastle- under-Lyme too! Hello!! I'm just about to finish week 8. So nice to meet some 'locals' on here!!
Hello, I also run Newcastle under Lyme. I wonder if I pass any of you. My next run is W8R2.
There are Couch to 5k tshirts you could all wear. I also wonder if anyone else is listening to this programme on their headphones too.
I run through apedale at the moment, and if I'm running in the evening I run up the a34 along liverpool road as it's nice and flat! Westport lake sounds like a nice run its lovely there! I may try bathpool aswell. Is anyone aiming for a 5k running event or going onto the 10k? I've seen various park run events etc.
I'm in Stoke on Trent running in the longton area
Nice thread, moved away years ago but remember sailing at Westport lake 
it would be nice to run there one day.
I spotted someone eating oatcakes on a breakfast thread today and had a conversation on PMT buses this morning. Strange conversation I know!
Sorry for the off topic!
Aww lovely! Glad there's a few of us! I'm considering bath pool too- possibly even this afternoon. Westport is very lovely, but gets a bit repetitive! With regard to 5k 10k etc, I've no idea at the moment. I'm just focussing on the next run.
Yeah that's probably the best way! I'm doing week 5 run 2 later today which I may have to repeat before the bigger run 3 as it was my birthday yesterday and I feel guilty for going out for a meal and eating birthday cake lol!
Haha no need to feel guilty- treat your run as allowing you to deserve the odd treat. Good luck with run 2, and enjoy it! I finished Week 3 last week (yesterday did Week 6 run 1) and it was a great week for me, but the one where I most struggled to trust the programme. I repeated run 2 twice, and was going to do it a third before people on the forum convinced me just to go out and give run 3 a bash, and I'm so glad I did! You'll manage it just fine, I'm sure. Enjoy!
Back on the wagon!
