Really enjoying Couch to 5k having never really run before (certainly never outdoors)... I can feel my fitness building quickly. I started C25k to get fitter for dog agility, as doing very little exercise then sprinting for up to 60 seconds (and being on my feet most of the day at a show) was killing me, especially getting a lot of pain at top and bottom of my hamstrings. But that is now fading away and I can feel I have more stamina. More surprisingly, I am enjoying it and actually look forward to the next run now... and no longer feel knackered all day after a run! Have just treated myself to new trainers (mine were verrrry old!) and some gear for the cooler weather when it comes...
Week 3 Slam Dunk! Bring on Week 4!!: Really... - Couch to 5K
Week 3 Slam Dunk! Bring on Week 4!!

Well done you!!!
Well done on your achievement so far. I also started the programme to increase my stamina and having just completed week 5, I can now run up and down our 3 storey house without thinking I'm about to expire! Good luck, let's do this!

Good work, GiGill! I am finishing week 3 this week, then moving on to week 4 (somewhat nervously, I cannot imagine running for 3 WHOLE MINUTES! But am managing it so far, and really enjoying it. Keep up the good work!
