Week 2 didn't turn out as bad as I thought, I actually quite enjoyed it. Stepping up to week 3, run 1 was ok. So on run 2, my ego took over and as I was doing the run during a 4 mile walk to my sons house, I tried to do it twice, giving it 10 minutes rest after 1st run. Really hard work and I did do some fast walking when I should've been running. But I was chuffed I pushed myself that far. Maybe that was wrong as I wasn't happy today. The last 3 minute run was a killer and I don't think I'm ready to step up to week 4. I am going to re run todays effort on Sunday. Payment for being so over confident. Still feeling overjoyed reading about all the so called "non runners" on here. Keep it up guys n girls, you're all doing awesome
Week 3, run 3 : Week 2 didn't turn out as bad as... - Couch to 5K
Week 3, run 3
What on earth got into you to do the same run twice in the same day? No wonder you found run 3 a struggle. You might have hurt yourself doing that.
Like I said, ego took over. I was half way throught the walk after my run and just thought I feel ok, I'll give it another go. Not my best decision
In Week 2 Run 1 I made a major mistake. I got cocky. The first run felt good and I ran too fast. By the final run I had nothing left and keeping going to the end of it hurt. (I didn't stop, but it was very hard to keep going.)
Even now (Wk4) my natural pace is faster than most here would recommend. It's not easy to fight that and go slower.
Interestingly, I have the same problem of going slow. I have what I would call a natural running speed (strange as I've never ran lol) and to go slow seems to take work to remember. I have to constanly think about slow down-slow down.
Omg! That's all I can say😂
