C25K attempt three!

emmab0902

I have tried this programme twice before and both times crashed out. The first time I think it was from expensive but wrong for me shoes, and the second time I possibly pushed too far too fast.

I have just started it again from week one day one, and this time will stick to the programme and not be impatient. While I think my fitness could move me ahead faster, I am mindful of both previous attempts ending in buggered knees so need to stick to the pace as set.

Also, this time I am doing it barefoot. Tonight was the first time I have run barefoot (as an adult!) and I have to say it felt really great!

Hi Emma,

One of my work colleagues has tried C25k and stretched it out for twice as long.

2 week 1's, then 2 week 2's, etc.

I suppose if you don't get through the next week, skip back one rather than back to the start.

I'm waiting for clearance from Podiatrist and Physio (and appropriate choice of footware). I am so concerned of Hypodermics in the 'burbs. If I am working on balance still then, I wouldn't mind....
