Typical me!

5 Replies

Wanted to finish week one today. Already completed 2 sessions. All set to start at 5am (plenty of time before work @ 8) but didn't do it! Annoyed with myself. Are most people doing 3 session per week?

Don't beat yourself up about it just go later or tonight - there is a bug waiting to bite you very soon - yes you should run three sessions a week but make sure you have at least one rest day in between - keep on running!!

Thankyou. Just finished work. (on my feet all day) knackered! I will go for my third run tomorrow. :)

I'd also say just do it later on, if you let it slip then you'll be so cross with yourself. The advice is certainly to do 3 runs a week, it helps to get into a regular routine (I run every other day) and helps your fitness develop quicker than if you leave longer gaps. I'd say just go for it - I couldn't run at 5am though lol, I tend to run in the afternoon (I work from home most days) or early evening.

Be determined and get to it later, you'll be so pleased you did.

Getting into a routine is good, its habit forming, which is a very positive thing.

Some people choose Monday, Wednesday and Friday, have the whole weekend off and then repeat that cycle.

Early mornings are my preferred time too, I try my very hardest to get every other day to do C25K, its quite nice to alternate the weekend day.

Good luck with completing W1, Rockshammer is spot on...the bug is coming ;)

Thankyou for your comment. How early do you run? Do you then go to work? I think Mon, wed & Fri is a gud idea.

Not what you're looking for?
