We’re you carried around while still in your bed? I think that’s the only way I could do it "Ha!

"2 run/walks yesterday was probably a bit too much I have to say.... Foot is rather sore today but it was good getting out again. Amazing how much fitness I've lost, this time last year I was training for a marathon! " Mar...mara....nope, just can't say it! Your doing great and hope your foot gets better soon x | |||

"day two of a couple of rest days and I was so tempted to only rest for the one day and go out for a run this morning. But was sensible as cold had been very stiff after an intense five a side footy game and 6 k run. So rest up and hit it tomorrow. Good luck to everyone jogging today. H " Hmm...we don’t jog, we waddle like toddlers chasing pugs! | |||
| |||

"What’s everyone actually running/walking? I’m not doing anything organised, just trying to run as long as I can with minimal walking. I’m up to just over 4K in around 20-25 mins so my time has stayed the same but my distance and speed has vastly improved. Rest day yesterday, run later and a big one on Thursday with a mate who is ex 2 Para. Apparently, I won’t be allowed to stop so I’ll be doing a Private Benjamin at some point. " Well done, your doing great
Im not following any set plan, but swapping and changing things to see what works for me (not alot ). Even as a child i wasnt a good runner and always struggled with getting my breath back. So just hoping that perserverance will increase my abilities and ill beable to do less walking more jogging. I set myself small achievable targets and just keep working towards them | |||
I’m following the app which gives you instructions on when to walk and when to run through my headphones.
It always starts with 5 minutes brisk walk to warm up and 5 minutes of exhausted stagger to cool down.
Last week was a short run of 3 minutes then a walk of about 2 minutes, then a run of 5 minutes followed by a walk. Then a 3 minute run, walk and 5 minute run.
It builds up the time you run for; week 1 was running for a minute at a time with a walk in between, 8 minutes of running in the half an hour. | |||

Come on, admit it, at least a small part of you must like it "The actual one foot in front of the other thing I dislike hugely, if I could afford to do any other sport I would but I like my achievements and feeling smug that I’m 57 and calling myself a runner. | |||

I did the second run of week 5 tonight, it’s 2 runs of 8 minutes with a walk in between. I’m amazed that this fat, unfit old bloke did it when I couldn’t have done it as a fat, unfit kid.
I wouldn’t say I’m powering up the hills but I’m definitely moving, even into a headwind. When I started this in the last day of December my heartbeat took about 2 hours to return to normal, now it takes about 5 minutes | |||

Your doing great, stuck to the programme your following and you can see the improvements. Well done.
Cant imagine running for 8 minutes yet | |||

"Major update. Lurgy has gone and when jogging for a train home tonight the foot pain, both hamstring pains and the funny knee pains were nowhere to be felt. Got a lot of catching up to do given it's week 5 and not started yet but years of chasing trains meant I wasn't too shabby in first place. " Excellent, from my time commuting I think that running along the platform was the fastest part of my journey
Take it gradually, we’ll be here waiting for you, exhausted | |||
. Will get out later finish it off and start week 5 x | |||

"Hello everyone. My plan for this week is to ride to work amd back Friday. This will ensure equality with standards last week. on Saturday morning I will be running with my mother's dog. Reckon I will do about 10 minutes of stop/start. Is Saturday too late to report? When is the deadline for weekly achievements?" Report when you can, we won’t be deducting points for lateness like your maths teacher. As the club motto is like a toddler chasing a pug I think we’d all like to see a toddler peddling after a pug - go to it | |||
"Am gutted I didn't get to complete week 4 last week. Was going to do run 3 at weekend but had 4 hrs sleep Fri and a tattoo session for 3hrs sat so got hit by a really sore throat and feeling tired. Did manage a couple of exercise sessions tho . Will get out later finish it off and start week 5 x "Awesome! This is the kind of determination we need here. Although if you had completed the runs overtired and bleeding from the tattoo that would have been fine too | |||
| |||
"Run 2 done and no calf discomfort, which I’m so chuffed about Bring on run 3 " Run through the wall of pain! I usually run through the wall of brambles with used condoms hanging like perverted, soggy wind chimes so the wall of pain is better | |||

"Week 4 complete. Try squeeze in week 5 now x new ear piercings today as a treat "Get the rest days in too, it’s important. | |||
"Week 4 complete. Try squeeze in week 5 now x new ear piercings today as a treat

Could you explain why rest days are important please? What happens if I run 3-4 k every evening?"Rest days are what allow you muscles to heal and that’s when you see the benefits of what you’re doing Ads | |||
"I’m late into this but since I found out my stag do has a 18st weight limit and the fact I’m not sure of my weight so I figure I should do what I can to lose some weight just in case Ads" How do you mean, like looping off a leg or something?
I’ve read on the internet (so it must be true) that this couch to 5k program isn’t much good for weight loss so you might need to do something else if that’s your goal | |||

"You can’t outrun a bad diet. You’ll get some weight loss from exercise but around 80% of it is down to diet. I lost eight stones ten years ago and have kept it off by not eating carbs. " I have fish at least once a week and cut out crisps a few years ago,eat loads of fruit now and yes it really does make a difference,you just have to stick to it and persevere. | |||

"OK guys.... If I was to organise a virtual 5k for charity would you be interested? Not sure of cost etc yet just trying to work out how it all works. I've done lots before but never hosted one lol There would be a medal "Does that mean we all do a run at the same time in different locations? That’s an awesome idea! How do we do it? | |||

"Just done my first 1.7k without stopping in 13.40 in a total of 3k but I think it’s too cold, I’m wheezing like I did on my first run all those weeks ago.

We’re all cheering you on | |||

A month ago I struggled to run for 60 seconds, tonight I did 20 minutes, it’s astonishing. I should have done this years ago.
Thanks to the runners and supporters here, you’ve kept me going with the offers of unlimited sex (I was reading between the lines but I’m sure it was implied) and the advice too.
If I can do it, anyone can | |||
"Tonight I did run 3 of week 5. It was the usual 5 minute walk to warm up, then a single 20 minute run, then a 5 minute walk to cool down. Surely there should be an interval in there somewhere to call an ambulance or unpack a defibrillator? It was a bit windy out but I must be getting fitter because I did the run

I know we need rest days but I’m getting to the point I want to do the occasional day of two short (3-4K) runs. Is there benefit to that? If it’s possible to run a marathon in one go, is two short runs in one day such a bad thing? | |||

That would fairly advanced training, whereas one session with a brief gap in between is just a progression of what we are doing. | |||

If I were to do 3k at 10am and another in the evening, would it actually have any negative or positive effect? I’m no stranger to exercise, just bloody running, and I would often do two gym sessions a day. | |||

"First night using the app some of those minutes felt much longer but it was easy enough Ads Awesome, well done! Which week and run are you on?" Week 1 day 1 I don’t know how much I weigh but I have to be below 18st by the 10th March Ads | |||

"Also... When training for the marathon a lot of people were saying I could split my long runs on the same day as it would have the same effect as running the distance in one go " It doesn’t have the same effect but it depends what your time goals are. Another mantra I used to have when coaching marathon runners was “there’s more than one way to make an omelette but you have to break some eggs”. In other words, no effort is wasted (as long as you don’t injure yourself doing it). But we’re not running marathons here (yet)...and even if we were I would be advising three (or four) high quality single day sessions with lots of rest in between. Double running sessions in a day are higher risk. Although...listen to your body and do what works for you of course... Hope this helps. x Moobs Twat | |||

It’s a clever programme where, what seemed impossible, becomes doable.
V v v v well done! Proud of you. "Parkrun is only a couple of weeks away for you (although you could easily do it now Adam...) | |||
"First night using the app some of those minutes felt much longer but it was easy enough Ads Awesome, well done! Which week and run are you on? Week 1 day 1 I don’t know how much I weigh but I have to be below 18st by the 10th March Ads" Hi Ads. Great stuff. Once you’ve done that first run you’re off. There’ll be no stopping you. How’s Geeky doing? What activity are you doing with a weight limit? I was talking to a couple of older people at work and they’ve been put, by their doctors, on a pre-diabetes diet ) which seems to be high fat, low carbs, low sugar). They’re saying the weight has fallen off. | |||
"Major update. Lurgy has gone and when jogging for a train home tonight the foot pain, both hamstring pains and the funny knee pains were nowhere to be felt. Got a lot of catching up to do given it's week 5 and not started yet but years of chasing trains meant I wasn't too shabby in first place. Excellent, from my time commuting I think that running along the platform was the fastest part of my journey
Take it gradually, we’ll be here waiting for you, exhausted
Cheers. "Hi Harry Did you notice that Ads (from AdsandGeeky) is starting this week too. You’ll be at the same stage. | |||

Mrs Trellis (Runner) (Crap)"Brilliant! Not only are you an awesome athlete in terms of running, you’ve also done well to leapfrog bits too
Your fitness and stamina must have improved significantly, you can either try out one of those fanciful Parkrun things (my auto correct wants to make it Parkhurst, as in the prison which says it all) or you can increase your shagging from 3 times a night up to 10 times.
I think you know the right choice | |||
