"Morning all, went for run this morning, well I say run, more of a jog! Question for you, as I tried a new app, I took it steady, did week 3 run 1, technically I should have done run 3 as that's where I'm at. But found that run quite exhausting. Is it a case of 'man up' (as much as a woman can do ) and keep to where I was on the last app or take it easy and get through it at a pace I'm comfortable with???"Just adapt to suit your current level of fitness...as long as you are getting out of breath (but not too much) during your run phases, you will definitely get better if you run three times a week x | |||

Reserve judgement until you’ve done the next one. (And how have you run already??? It’s the middle of the night!) | |||

"Sooooo....... Last week was a gruelling week. Over 100 hours worked and no time/energy/will to run at all. This morning I was up at 5, walked (was dragged) my pooch for 45 minutes, then stared at the treadmill trying to summon the energy to get on it. From somewhere the will came to me, so on I got!! And ah just kept running..... 3.2km (2 miles)!! Feel totally fucked, but chuffed with myself "Very good effort! | |||

"FAB CRAP RUNNERS' CLUB WEEK FOUR!!!! MOTTO: We run #LikeAToddlerChasingAPug . . . Well done fellow athletes (splutter)! 28 people reported progress during Week Three. We're really doing it! That exercise thing we'd heard so much about. Well now we're doing it. We can smugly say "I jog three times a week" and it won't even be a lie!!! . . . EXPLANATION: If you're unsure what it's all about, the old thread explains (linked to below) but, in short, from 1st January, we're all trying to improve our fitness through "Couch to 5k" (C25K) which is a nine-week running programme for absolute beginners, available on various free phone apps (I'm using Get Running). A few people are getting fit by other means including walking and cycling - all are welcome. We're all expecting to be utterly crap at it but we're doing it anyway - yay us! Old thread: https://m.fabswingers.com/forum/lounge/711745 New members are still very welcome - post on this thread and I'll add you to the list next week. . . . THE OFFICIAL MEMBERS OF THE FAB CRAP RUNNERS' CLUB: Adam 1971 Struggling with week four runs but getting nearer to completing it each time. Going to repeat it a bit. Ran in short sleeves in the sleet (WTF??? It's bad enough without hypothermia surely. You're improving all the time - and week four is only just officially starting now.) AdsandGeeky Walking all over the place including to the cinema this week. (How's the walking going? You're about to get married aren’t you? Tell us about that!) albi nice Newbie. Enjoys doing mud runs and spin classes. (Welcome. Is your knee getting better?) Bitch_and_Twat . Going to start a Park Run parallel thread. Done a 30 minute combo of runs and walks. (So pleased you're feeling better at last). BlueWonder Week two done with the third run feeling easy! Slightly sore knees. (You star!!! If it's getting easier, it means it's working!) BoPeep1 Done two runs this week. Rested over the weekend ready for week four. (Well done - are you feeling ready for week four?) Chasing waterfalls Ran to badminton. Week three complete. Trying the NHS podcast. (How is the podcast? And you ran to get to yet more exercise - wow!)) _xciter7169 Wasn't going to run in the rain but saw a man running and made himself go for it. (Nice one! Maybe some other jogger saw you go past and then they went out. Like a Mexican wave!) _riskynrisky Didn't run during week two. Just needs the willpower! (Did you manage to run? How was it?) goodtimes_888 Being absolutely lovely to everyone on the thread as always. (You're very lovely to everyone and never say what you're up to )

Good idea to stick at this level for another couple of runs. I'm sure that now you've cracked it once it will seem that much easier next time. | |||

Hi Signorina,
We are about 30 miles away! I’ll have to build up my stamina, and then I’ll run it from Bolton to Chester. Maybe next time. "Lol I don't think I'm up to that level yet.

"I’ve managed to lose one of my running shoes out of the car boot and I’ve had a knee injury so haven’t run since October. Gonna hit the parkrun this Saturday me thinks. Anybody wanting to run should just go to the local parkrun whatever your level. They’re ace and for people of all abilities. I’ve seen 70 year olds and 7 year olds. People finish anywhere from 15mins - 60mins and your only racing against your own time. Defo try the parkrun. It’s quality. " I just feel a bit ignorant as i have earphone in so i know when to run or not and its early for me but i will get there soon | |||

Well done to all of you who have been in since week 1 - any advice on staying motivated would be appreciated. "The program is Couch to 5k or C25K, it builds up your running gradually over 8 or 9 weeks. There are various apps or the NHS podcast you can listen to. As for motivation, when you complete a week I think you can ask for any sexual favour you like from anyone on the thread. I’ll have to check the small print on the paperwork but that’s certainly why I’m doing it | |||

At the time, 90 secs run was good but the 3 mins near the end was a steep uphill (usually I'm walking then!) It nearly killed me, i was just about to scream at her when she said walk, i nearly collapsed lol but kept going....second 90 secs was all uphill, bloody killer but not as long....last 3 mins was level and downhill so it was a lot easier so i carried on till the incline towards the end then walked all the steep hill home......i feel great at my success yay go me

"I’m scared of being with other runners, if it encourages me to go faster I’ll just collapse earlier
You don't go faster, you just go further because you don't want to stop too early
But beware of those octogenarians outsprinting you Adam "Octogenarians ? Where Been years since I caught one | |||

"Week 4 day 3 completed. n after my app had run out I continued running another 1.5 k so very happy. Training going good in gym too since the 1st Jan I’m a stone lighter. Running is by far best way for me to feet fit. Treated myself to. Night light. They are so good. Can see the pot holes now. Happy Friday That’s absolutely amazing!!! So much fitter and a stone lighter! That’s really impressive. Can you see a difference in the mirror? The light thing is a good idea. Is it one of those head ones? " It sure is. Thanks for your lovely words xx | |||

"Great thread. I small group has been set up local to me for people wanting to run. There's people of varying abilities from some doing c25k to some running 8k. The main feedback is how everyone is enjoying doing it with others. 1 because some are a bit frightened to go out on the own in the dark evenings and 2 for the encouragement from others. So if anyone is struggling it might be worth having a look on Facebook to see if you have a local group close by. Keep positive. " Thanks for that advice. It's a good idea. This thread has kept me motivated. Having others in the same boat is great. I'll add you to our list of supporters. | |||
