Confidence and variety...

[Chocolatedog]

I’m trying to stick with running three times a week though a recurrent cold has caused a few interruptions. But, what I really want to shout about is how knowing that I can regularly run for 30 mins + has given me the confidence to run in unfamiliar places. I take my stuff whenever I am away from home, and seek out new routes to follow. Once I feel properly in my stride and get better shoes, I will start running tracks as well as roads and pavements, and really see some countryside. C25K enabled this!

That's so good to hear! And I agree, it is nice to mix it up and run in unfamiliar places. The running world is your oyster.

What great news, just running is so liberating

Nice that you are still running three times a week, sorry about your cold-causing interruptions to your running, it is very nice to run in different places, especially away from home where you can also do a bit of exploring while on your runs.

When you get new shoes at a specialist sports shop, get a gait analysis and buy the recommended shoes and socks to match, that way you will find your running much more comfortable.
