Whoop whoop! Completed week 5, run 1 this morning in the rain 
Route starts off uphill, so once my first 5 min section was over I knew the others would be better, as flattens off.
Most of the route is on a bridlepath, so quite uneven terrain with ruts and plenty of mud and puddles this morning. Hoping if I did the same distance but on the road it would feel easier? Will I be fitter if I do C25K 'off road' compared to along flat tarmac? What do you think?
You'll be ok for the "tough mudders" races lol xxHH
They look too scary at the moment!
Hi AbracaDeborah!
Well done you!!!! I'm so jealous!!! Well, due to my left calf giving me bother, I have left running for a couple of days extra. I will be doing W4 Run 1 again on monday .. all being well.
I'll be following your brilliant progress as an incentive to keep going!
Good luck
Lucy
Good luck for tomorrow then Lucy, good idea to have rested up if you've got an injury, and take it gently. We can do this!
Wow! Way to go you!!!! You must be both proud and happy 😃.
Certainly feel like I'm achieving something every time I complete a run, nice feeling good luck with your running next week
I started on a treadmill but then after a week, went outside and love it. I think it is better preparation for a 5K race to be outside and much easier to adapt pace and balance when you are used to uneven surfaces. I guess it will develop agility and leg strength in a different way to flat running on Tarmac and I am hoping sticking to grass will minimise injury and impact too
Hi Joolie, it's great being outside isn't it although this morning I had rain and even some thunder...so ended up with soggy trainers and socks!
