Week 3 run 2 easier than last wed

[Dotthedyer]

Much easier than last wed when I thought I was running with lead legs. But the change in temp is hard. No frost or cold winds and I am parched coming back.

Well done, have a bottle of water ready for when you finish

W3R2 for me last night. Must have been working hard, my knees are killing me today!! Got a bit further than Sunday and the second 3 minute run was a bit easier than before. I've worked out I'll be graduating on the 22nd December...... last day at work before Christmas break - that'll be a double celebration!!!

My bad knee gave more of a twinge last night, and the place where my spine curves at the base (to compensate for my weak leg) was a bit uncomfortable in bed last night. i guess we are running that bit longer and stretching and working body parts that haven't had to do as much for a while.

My legs are definitely continually mumbling at me. Yes I think they are just getting used to it and telling us off.

Keep going we can both do this.

Oh I’m going to have to work mine out now

I actually found it helpful - I was running Monday, Wednesday and Friday for the first two weeks but going alternate days from week 3 onwards will reduce my C25K runs by a week.

Well done you, and interesting: i found the first run of this week easier, but I ran a hillier route yesterday. I don't get thirsty at all and have to remind myself to drink when i get back. Actually the only time I've experienced real thirst was when breast feeding. I could down a jug of juice after a feed. Keep posting. We are at the same place so it's interesting to compare notes and encourage each other.

Hi fellow W3 Runners

Glad to hear R2 is easier. I have just done W3R1 and found the second 3mins hard. I don't have a gadget to take with me as iPod won't work so I accidentally did 3x3 mins - a whole 1.5 mins extra!

Yes, it is so mild today. I was boiling in my usual three layers. (Temperature control is tricky. Am saving up for proper kit.)

[Dotthedyer in reply to Hidden]

Yes it is tricky isn’t it. Esp as each day is currently so different.
