I just saw this group and thought this is the motivation I need to start running, so once the weekend is over I will be putting my running shoes on and off for my first run :)

    I'm not much of a racer Aine but about the time I have completed this will be the start of netball session :)
    I have done runs 2 and 3 now, but I have a massive blister so it's hurting, hopefully it will heal quickly!!

    Ekk just thought I better update on here, I kind of abandoned the interval running as my bf decided to join me running but found the stop/start too hard on his knee... well I have managed to get up to 20 minutes straight running and that's about 3 km worth, won't be long to 5 km :)

    Finished w4d1 today...weather was nice. :)

    I am struggling with my calves as I increase run times. I wore tall heels for too many years and they shortened up. Any recommendations?

    are you stretching between your warm up and run? if not, try that perhaps
