amazing work....i too remember that feeling. keep up the good work

You've already started....by deciding you want to become more active. Start walking before trying to run...get to the point where you can walk for 30 minutes at a reasonable pace. You can then maybe start running at 30 second intervals but DON'T overdo it else you'll injure yourself. About 9 months ago I was in the same…

uplifting trance or some jump up drum and bass

so I ran tonight and managed about 1.5 miles before the feeling came back. I noticed that not only did my foot feel heavy and tingly, my calf and behind my knee felt sensitive....almost like a dull ache. any ideas?

I've been treadmill running for a year or so and never has this problem before. I can fairly confidently run 5K four/five times a week but last night a mile was a struggle and had to slow to a walk

ETA: do your arches collapse while running by any chance?[/quote] How do you know if your arches collapse?

I haven't changed the tightness of laces (I just slip them on) and I haven't changed my shoes. :/

I ran my first 5K in 39 minutes, 9 months or so later I have done it in just over 32 minutes.....and I'm 16 stone!! Don't worry about how fast your doing it, just do it and maybe run a little further.

People who bring their portable stereos in and play their crappy music really loud annoys the hell out of me. If they want to listen to that rubbish at least put headphone in

C25K app is great. Go very SLOW....some people run slower than a fast walk, take small strides and breath deeply. Its going to be difficult at first but after a little while I'm sure you'll catch the running bug!!
-
As many others have said, slow it down. Its not unusual for beginners to run slower than a fast walk. Keep your back straight and take little strides whilst concentrating on slow deep breaths

nothing wrong with your legs.....you look great.

[/quote] Question for people with more experience in running: how slow is slow? I am doing C25K on the treadmill and have been curious if I am going too slow or should be going slower...tomorrow is week 5 day 1 for me. I average about 4.0 mph on the treadmill. Thanks in advance for any insight you can give. [/quote] I…

why do dictionary's have page numbers?

I wish I could offer advice but unfortunately I'm suffering the same. Its really starting to annoy the hell out of me....literally every time I go for a run I get a code brown!

I'm curious about this as I'm doing the program on a treadmill. I start week 4 today and have been doing it with no incline as I assumed that was flat. Is the 2% really more equivalent to a flat surface? Would that make it harder for me to do now that I'm already 4 weeks in, and used to my current setting? [/quote] Yes its…

Everyone has anxiety about going to the gym for the first time but I promise, just 10 minutes after walking through the door, all your anxiety will disappear. I'm about the same height as you and currently around 220. I also suffer from panic attacks and depression so joining the gym was VERY hard for me but I did it. As I…

so about 4 months ago I struggled to even run for 5 minutes. fast-forward and everyday last week I ran a solid 30 - 40 mins. for those starting out, don't concern yourself with distance as it really doesn't matter and don't be afraid to repeat days. Go slowly ( I started at around 4.6 mph) and even now run at around 5…

its not bad for you but it has no nutrition value and doesn't help with hydration. if you enjoy it though drink it

I started a few months ago and made the mistake of going too fast (maybe 5.5mph - 6mph) which resulted in injury. I can now run for 30 minutes without too much problem as I've slowed down a lot (down to about 4.8mph). Don't concern yourself with speed as it doesn't matter, just focus on how long your running for and enjoy.

"Doctor, I cant stop singing the Green Green Grass Of Home" "Sounds like you have Tom Jones syndrome" "Is it rare?" "Its not unusual"!!
-
Ditto. Your not aiming to complete a 5K in 30 minutes - to do this you will need to run at 6.2mph which is too fast to start with. Your just aiming to follow the plan for 30 minutes....take no notice of distance as it irrelevant at this stage. Stick with it and you'll learn to love it.

I used to suffer really badly with my knees and 2 things helped..... Firstly set the incline to 2% elevation. This mimics outside running and is slightly easier on knees. Secondly, try keeping your back foot on the ground for longer. I just tried different ways of running and found doing this helps keeps strides shorter.…
