Couch to 5k

runner_girl83

I started c25k.. I got to the 2nd week and thought "I can do more than this!" I actually made it to 5k running a few times. I am also wearing nike pegasus 32 like you were and shin splints in one leg have flared up again.. So I am sorting it out with physio but I'm thinking of returning to the c25k program to build up in a safer way. I know I can run 5km.. my head and lungs are fine with that.. But the program sets only 3 running days a week for a reason - so you build up slowly.. Not full-on running longer or more often than a beginner should run - you will only get injured! I love that I can do 5km.. and I know i will make it there again soon.. But take it slow! It is not a race and each little bit is progress
