A lot of it is just finding what works for you! For instance, I don't particularly like some healthy foods out there that you "should" eat (i.e. quinoa, brown rice, wheats and grains) and I find the "healthy snacks" just bore me (i.e. cottage cheese and fruit, snack on nuts, snack on vegetables etc) I just end up more…

Oops two posts sorry!

YAYY!!! I've been a no show on here for a few weeks now. I must confess I gave up... My next W5 pod cast was saying to run for 20 minutes non stop after only having been running for 8 minutes at a time and I got scared! In the mean time I got myself a PT instructor and we've been working on weights and weight training, and…

I like spinning classes... but I've found if I do a spin class the day BEFORE a C25K run I die halfway through, I'm better if I do one the day after with a break after that day. I've also recently asked my gym about a personal trainer for weight training so should be starting that soon.

At the weekend I attempted W5R2... I was hesitant because I've been struggling a bit and I started to lose motivation for this and began to get bored. At the end of this run however I was amazed that I actually ran for 8 minutes at a time!! And it gave me my motivation back :smiley:

It was going great! I felt ready to go onto run 2 ..... but now I haven't been running for 2 weeks I had a cold that turned out to be tonsillitis and laryngitis finished off with conjunctivitis last week! Just been exhausted! I restarted running again on Monday been knocked back a week so still on W5R1 but building it back…

Tonight I start W5D1!! Wish me luck! I went to my docs and got another inhaler and was told to use it 15 minutes before I begin so lets see what that does!

I'll try your in for 3 out for 2 today! I've been mixing it up trying to find a balance. Usually in 3 out 3 but out seems too long! I'll give your suggestion a go. I've also noticed earphones and music distract me!! Something I never though I'd say. Congratualtions IndigoSue13!!!

I'm not a fan of quinoa but those quinoa egg muffins look delicious!! Do you use the 2 eggs and 4 egg whites or can you just use 4 eggs in total?

I'm new here and seeing how encouraging you all are I thought I'd join in on this thread! I've been having problems breathing lately. Think I may have exercise induced asthma judging by the symptoms every time I run. I have a nearly empty inhaler from last year (still in date) so I decided to do a little test and use it.…

Thank you! Joined now :smile: It's encouraging to hear other people's experiences!

I'm really liking some of the advice in here! I too hate treadmills... and gyms I just don't enjoy the atmosphere in them! And there's nothing to look at. Every time I go to do my run at my local gym I think "can I be bothered? I don't want to... it can wait until tomorrow can't it" then when I start, about halfway through…

Where can I find the C25K group? I'm new haha

Hey! I don't this if this is of any help but I'm using the C25K pod casts by the NHS I'm finding them really good I'm currently on week 4. She builds you up nice and slow with no suggested pace other than "brisk walk" and "light jog" and you repeat weeks if you feel you need to. I'm not sure if this will help anyone but I…

Hello! I'm new here but wanted to share with you! I started the C25K programme by the NHS end of January and I agree with hbrittingham! I don't consider myself unfit, but I'm not fit either I've always done some form of exercise just not dedicated or anything but when I started the C25K I thought I was going to die!! Still…
