[joanneelaine75 in reply to Timd61]

I was surprised that u enjoyed running for three minutes and i had the stamina

[Timd61 in reply to joanneelaine75]

Well done, I bet you felt good when you had done it.

[joanneelaine75 in reply to Timd61]

Yes I did like I'd achieved something great

[Timd61 in reply to joanneelaine75]

You HAVE achieved something great.

You should be proud.

[Timd61 in reply to joanneelaine75]

At the moment I have been jogging on grass not too sure whether to jog on pavements.

Do you jog on grass or pavements?

[joanneelaine75 in reply to Timd61]

I started on grass as everyone said better for you but I prefer pavements oddly

[Timd61 in reply to joanneelaine75]

Yes I was recommended grass but fancy pavements. Might try my 3rd run of week 3 on pavements.

[joanneelaine75 in reply to Timd61]

You will see a huge difference I prefer pavements or do half and half that's how i started and got the bug

[Timd61 in reply to joanneelaine75]

Sounds good....quite looking forward to Sunday now to try it out.

[joanneelaine75 in reply to Timd61]

My next runs Sunday too let me know how you get on

[Timd61 in reply to joanneelaine75]

I will do, same here let me know how you get on also.

Horses for courses... Off road and grass make for more difficult running... good running shoes are essential for the different surfaces, ( many of us have off road running shoes and road shoes) and really good ones for pavement pounding because of the impact.

Brilliant, keep it up!!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Well done.. keep it slow and keep it steady

[joanneelaine75 in reply to Oldfloss]

I find myself going faster or seeming to go faster and having to slow the pace

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to joanneelaine75]

Just keep it steady and then as the runs get longer, you have plenty of reserves left.... our running muscles need time to build up gently,as does our core strength and stamina. Exercises for strength and stamina are also essential on our rest days..

If you finish each run, feeling like you could do a little bit more..that is what to aim for. You are doing wonderfully!

[joanneelaine75 in reply to Oldfloss]

I don't feel like that at the beginning but when I get to the last run I feel that I do have just a little more 👍 not a lot just a little

[joanneelaine75 in reply to joanneelaine75]

Also could you give me some advice ... when and what do you tend to eat before a run I am having a banana but yesterday it gave me a stitch I ate it 20 mins before do I need to eat earlier on ????

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to joanneelaine75]

Well.. we are all so different.. I run early, and my regime from beginning C25K, right up to my 10K runs now, has always been a cuppa and two digestive biscuits... about 45 mins to an hour, before heading out... a lot of folk eat nothing...unless it is going to be a very long run.

If you wish to eat, then keep it very light... and at least an hour would be my advice at this stage

Hydration is the key too... good hydration every day and not just run days...

[joanneelaine75]

Ok I can do that I tend to do morning runs if I'm off work ... trying to drink 2 litres a day ....thanks for advice
