Wk5R1

Weekly check in.

Since last time finished wk4 off and this morning did week 5 run 1. Surprisingly, finished it with no problems to speak of. Was worried a little as my knees had been a bit painful since Wk4r2.. just on impact when walking/running. Oddly after 5 mins today they felt fine.

It really does suck getting old..

Week 1 .. generally legs aching

Week 2 .. thought i may have shin splints

Week 3 .. stiff legs

Week 4 .. sore knees

I'm like an old car.. no matter what you do there's always a knocking noise at the back and a squeek when you go around corners.

Anyhoo.. still here and still anjoying it 👍

Happy C25k'ing everyone.

Well done you , hopefully as you progress you will have less aches and pains as you get stronger and fitter 😊

Thanks Buddy.. yep the niggles are to be expected i guess. I don't mind though.. the amount of struggle each week has been the same and i've reached week 5, i'll be happy to struggle in the same way at wk9 ..when (not if) i get there 👍

The way I looked at it if it was easy we wouldn't feel the same accomplishment at the end of the run😊

well done for carrying on despite the niggles

I think they may die down as buddy said, from my reading here that has happened for quite a few people.

old cars in good nick are worth more than new ones sometimes! just sayin'

Ta backintime i'm sure they'll subside, besides there's many on here on the IC who'd swap places in a heartbeat, so i'm not complaining.
