    Well I completed week 3 day 1, my legs ached loads, i have found if i walk an extra 5 mins after the cool down it helps to calm it down.
    How was every ones first day? I hope it well for you all.

    Week 1 Day 2 done. Calves ached in first run but OK after that.


    Now TMI - my tummy has been very "irritable" since Monday(first run), wondered if I should have taken toilet paper with me :noway: Anybody know if this settles as you go on??

    Thanks

    It should settle down, well done for doing day 2. You body is adjusting to you running, i eat a banana after as it has potassium in, it helps with mussels & other things

    I'm in. I know I am starting late, but I need to do something. I used to run - 2 5ks last year - but then my personal life went to hell and I gave it up. I need to get back in shape and stop feeling so badly about myself. I hope this will give me the push I need to invest a little time and energy in me, as opposed to always investing in the needs of others. Thanks for getting this ball rolling HaleyAli - I hope your first week has started off well!

    I did the first day yesterday, but only about 3/4 of the program for fear of being too tired or sore to make it back home. I was not as winded as I thought, and I smoke too :sad:

    i actually started this last week but due tome some old injuries the high impact or running isn't an option at this point. i am using the elliptical. i realize it isn't the same but i was hoping that as the weight comes off moving it outside might be an option. hope this isn't cheating, but i really do like it!! :bigsmile:

    I am in. I started on Monday 9th using an app on my iPhone. I am doing again this lunchtime around Hyde Park although raining at the moment in London but I am determined to fit it in today.

    I want in! I have always wanted to become a runner. But I'm starting kinda late. I'll start tonight. =] I just get soooooo embarrassed running outside. I feel like everyone's watching and judging me. How do I get over it??

    Someone recommended I do it on the elliptical too because I have knee and foot pain on my left side. I damaged a joint in my foot about a year ago. I did day one on the treadmill but couldn't make it through the running sets very well. That's something to think about... I just didn't want to seem like I was cheating either!

    i figured it wasn't cheating as long as i was up front about it. it may not be the actual plan but i am certainly burning calories even with my adaptations and i guess ultimately that's what it's all about. right??
