W2R1 - Found it really hard but time flew faster!

[Hotheels]

I struggled with my first run of Week 2.....who was I kidding thinking that just because I got past Week1, Week2 wouldn't be as bad????!!!!! 😅

I invested in running shoes (Asics felt better than Brooks).....so the shin splits were not as bad, but I overpronate slightly on my left foot....and the pain I feel in my left arch was truly bad enough for me to "hobble along" instead of "jog along".......ouch big time!!!!

Any advice on managing this better?

Now that I have caught my breath, feel great that I kept at it and didn't give up!!!

Can’t advise on the pain but good luck with run 2!

Well done for keeping at it. You’ll find your fitness will build really fast and every now and again a run will feel easy, and that will keep you going 🙂

I look forward to that day when I can confidently say "I'm a real runner and today's run was a breeze!!!!" 🤣🤣🤣

Your doing good. Just take it easy and remain focused on getting ahead. 👍

Yep.....im a project manager/analyst in my day job....so i cant help but plan ahead, be ready with back-up plans for when things go wrong and analyse data on progress........

But....in this case, I'm only focussing on getting through one run at a time.....takes all my discipline to not try and control my running C25K journey....!!!!

I too just completed w2 r1 😀 definitely harder than week one ! And it’s sooooo hot today too. Thinking I too might invest in some new trainers am wearing my sons old ones.. a treat I think

If I make it to week 3

Yes.....Running gear "kit" is a better treat than pizza and ice cream!!! 😉

Keep going....you're doing great!!
