W2D1

[MrMannering]

Well yesterday was the start of week two. Following some very sound advice on here I managed to complete every run. Doesn't sound much but when you think that w1d1 I only ran 6/8 runs and was destined to never do this again. Well the extra 30 seconds on the runs are very noticeable to me but the 2 minute walks are very welcoming also. I do have a question to you all. I am running in the evening which is great as a wind down to be honest but getting out of bed at 7am the following day is even more of a challenge than the c2k5.. ... What time of day do people run? Not sure I can manage a 5:30am start.

Well done Mr Mannering... !

Brilliant run...knew you could do it!

I run in the mornings usually before 8...and before graduation from October to December, often out at 7..to 7.30..

What time do you need to have run by in the morning.. ?

Thanks, I am so glad I stumbled on this site. well I need to be leaving my house by 7:50 at the latest. But I feel the main issue either rational or mental is that after the run I feel I need what feels like forever to recover. Normally after my runs in the evening I shower then sit and rest. Obviously at work I can't do that. Maybe I should try it. You never know till you try I guess.

Right, if you are up for it.. you could get up at 6... ( gear put ready the night before), lighter mornings etc...do your run, shower, bowl of cereal and then ready to leave at yr normal time?

I'm not a morning person at all; I couldn't run in the morning, as many others do.

I run after work, around 6:30/7:00PM, during the week and a bit earlier during the weekend, say 5:30/6:00PM.

[MrMannering]

That sounds just like me!

Dear MrMannering, just read your first post where you were convinced you were going to have a heart attack. Well done you, you are already doing SO MUCH better and can you imagine how it will be? I hope you access your inner bl**dy-minded person and just keep at it. Anyway I'm proud of you.
