Having a rest day today. Ran 1.5 miles yesterday and went to step aerobics last night. Got up this morning feeling like I hadnt slept! So having a rest day and will be back at it tomorrow. On the plus side, my class instructor complimented me on keeping up with the class better so the running must be helping to improve my…

Well done! Its a great feeling isnt it? Im now regularly running 2-3 miles a day after completing the C25K. I couldnt even manage 30 seconds when I 1st started! Have you got the running bug yet?....lol

I had my gallbladder removed by keyhole surgery 5 years ago. Recovery and relief from symptoms was within a week. I was told I should be able to eat anything and I certainly did! Have had no problems since.

Im 42 and started running after the New Year. Have just completed C25K and can run 40 minutes straight without stopping. 8wks ago I couldnt of run out of a burning building so have come a long way. I also suffer with asthma and it has helped no end with that. It has also helped me break through a plateau with my weight…

Thanks for this advice, yesterday I ran my 1st 5k complete in 38 mins 16 seconds. Not fast I know but im going to stick at the same pace for now and just try to increase my mileage each week as you suggest. Is it better to do 5k 4 times a week or try and run 3 times a week but a longer distance? I have been doing 2 miles…

Fitted in a run between a split double shift today!! Could of not bothered but I GOTTA run!! 1/3 - 2.5 miles 2/3 - 2.1 miles 3/3 - 2.0 miles 4/3 - 3.1 miles 5/3 - 2.1 miles

I used the Zen Labs C25k free app on Iphone. I think most follow the same method though.

Thanks for the advice. So carry on at the speed im doing and just run for longer each time? Or increase it every week? I will read up on it too as someone else mentioned about the 10% increments but I didnt quite grasp what she was trying to explain to me.

Just cutting down on huge portions, cutting out snacking between meals, booze & fizzy pop. I joined a gym and do some sort of exercise most days. I am also just about to finish C25K and ran my 1st 5k today in 38minutes! I have been away on holidays, weekends off for birthdays, meals out etc through it all so havnt been…

I felt exactly the same! I started at the gym September last year but wouldnt go any faster than a walk on the treadmill as I was scared of looking stupid next to a "proper runner".....did this till Xmas when I got talking to a "proper runner" who said she was the same and couldnt run at all a couple of months before and…

Well done on making a start. I started September last year and found this site. It has been a wealth of support and information. There is always someone to help if you are struggling or need to know anything. Shout if you need help with anything. Friend request sent :)
