Think I am getting the hang of this.🏃🏼♀️ ran for 3 mins yes I will say it again I ran for 3 minutes. My throat did get a bit dry . I can’t wait to do it again.
Wish I had started this when the evenings were lighter. Ah but then again when the evenings are lighter I will look like a runner. Yeah this is a win - win. 😁
Well done, but you are mistaken..........if you completed the whole workout then you ran for NINE minutes and brisk walked for SIXTEEN.
No need to be so modest.
Week 3 for me was when things started to click into place. I stopped doing it because I felt I needed to, and instead did it because I wanted to.
I think week 3 is the game changer, when you feel you can actually do this, but maybe I shouldn’t count my chickens just yet.
Week 4 is harder, but doable. I had a miserable run in W4R3. I completed it, but the weather was not conducive to exercise (really humid, drizzly gap between summer deluges).
Hi Angie Congratulations! I did Wk3 R1 last night (based in Melb, Aus so our evenings are still light) but I found it pretty tough going. My legs felt heavy! But I kept going and am feeling proud. I'm hoping my next run will be easier.
Hi Johanna, it’s amazing how easy it is too get hooked, I thought I would find it a chore and hard work, dark cold nights here. But after being in the office all day, it gives me a reason to get outside and fills me with energy once I have finished the run. Good luck, keep going, we will graduate.
Yes, I'm surprised how much I look forward to my next run. I have 3 small kids and it's glorious to be out alone enjoying the moonlight!
Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.
Heavy legs can be symptomatic of poor hydration. As a runner you need to intake a minimum of 2.5 -3 litres of fluid each and every day, running or not, as mentioned in the guide to the plan, which is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...
and includes advice on minimising impact, stretching after every run, hydration and strengthening exercises, all of which will help.
Enjoy your journey.
Thanks so much for your kind advice! Looking at the guide now!
Well done!! Bet you didn't think you would be running for 3 mins non stop a few weeks ago. You're starting to see the progress. Keep it up!
Not only am I seeing the progress. I am enjoying it and hooked. Never expected that.😀
Well done with your progress ! And as already mentioned, you actually ran for 9 minutes 😁👍
When you put 9 mins I thought I’ve not done nine minutes, I forgot about the 1 minute runs. Well done me.
Haha, 2x1.5 and 2x3 😁👍
Fantastic. Well done. Enjoy your journey through to graduation 🎓 and please keep us all posted with your progress. Everyone here will support you
Well done angiepoole! Lol yes, when it’s light you’ll be skipping (running!) along 😊. Best of luck with your next run 🏃♀️.
Brilliant - well done!
It’s a great feeling isn’t it angiepoole! Huge well done to you! Make sure you drink plenty of water every day, not just run days. Enjoy the rest of week 3!
Yes, I do need to drink more 💦 water . .
