Surprised myself

[Fatboy1961]

I ran for 20 minutes last Friday (week 5 run 3). Wow! I have never (in 58 years) run for as long or as far. This program is marvellous. Legs do feel tired all the time, particularly my right calf but it's not bad enough to stop me. Good luck to everyone on the journey.

Well done! That's your milestone run done! Still the best in my book.

Make sure you're drinking enough water each day if your legs are feeling fatigued. Try for at least 2l a day if you can.

Have you read the guide to the programme? healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Thanks for the link. I need to do some core exercise as I get muscle pain around my right kidney. It gets better by the next run day. Using some muscles for the first time since birth!!!!!! Cheers 👍

Yep. That's a special one. Time to change your name to Fitboy1961 ?? I found massaging calf muscles helped a lot as did some knee strengthening exercises.

Cheers Johnm, thanks for the advice. quite sore today after week 6 run 2. May rest for two days before the 25 minute non stop run. I have a bit to go before becoming Fitboy. Probably could do with dropping 15kg and getting back 25 years!!!

Nothing wrong with your age 😉
