Do it! Think how amazing you'll feel afterwards when you've done it, even if you don't quite manage it. Which you will  x |

Holiday was awesome thanks, loads of fantastic skiing, too much beer, but not enough sex!! Which is fair enough given I was out there with my son and not my wife

"Um. I’m still in Week 4 limbo. Tried it on the treadmill and still no cigar.
Pfft. Good job I’m a persistent cow"
Doesn’t matter. You’re still raising your heart beat and getting moving. The rest is just arbitrary goals. It’s the exercising and the activity that counts and you’re doing that perfectly. |

I was running (has to be said with a Forest Gump voice)
Week 5, run 3 done! And I thought Sundays were a day of rest.... silly me 
Calf muscles ache a bit, but think that's expected. Chuffed with myself that I did 20 minutes non stop |

Go for it just take it easy and I'm sure you will make it "
Oh god. Bloody running. But surely I’m fit now. Can’t I stop??
I’m going to attach a stick to my head like donkeys have but instead of a carrot I’m going to attach a bag of crisps. |

Ha ha or another way to do it would be to attached a pic of me on the stick but put it behind you like as if I'm chasing you... now that would get you moving to good 5k time  |

"I did it! I ran for 25 minutes without stopping!!! There was not a drop of energy left. But I did it.
I’m a bit gobsmacked. "
Brilliant x x x
To put this in perspective for me, I love to cycle anywhere I go, not that I cycle far but any time I am on foot I am constantly thinking if I was on my cycle I would have been there by now. So it's more a mental challenge for me as I know I can run, I do it most Saturdays to get to the butchers before the ladies leave at 1pm. Again though it's running to get somewhere before it closes / train leaves.
Really must sign up to parkrun this evening. |

Just been reading through the threads and the funniest thing I have read in ages was a response to Twat:
"It's waiting for a peer review."
Made me cough!
I have run 5 K yesterday and did 10K this morning....Oh no.....dreaming.
Off sick so possibly the worst start to being a runner. 1 bike ride in 3 weeks!
Well done Mrs T for your run. Congrats to the rest of you who are achieving success. Hope to be at least making a contribution soon!

Have a question for the OP and the community of craprunners.
A friend of mine (who is as bad at running as me) and I are considering swimming together to make a contribution. Do we have to be running exclusively or could we still contribute to this great endeavour with our breast stroke? |

You are absolutely welcome to try to get fitter by whatever method suits you (provided you show no aptitude for it - we’re crap remember?!)
We have people walking, boxing, cycling, swimming and, in Harry’s case, chasing women around a butcher’s shop.
Just tell us what you’re up to and how you get on. We’ll say well done when you succeed and we’ll take the piss when you fail. |

Brilliant! So good to be able to be crap at whatever form of exercise we undertake!
Without a doubt the most inclusive thread on this whole site  |

So i surprised myself today....I've already done 48 hours at work in the last 4 days, 2 days and 2 nights and i still have 1 more night to do but I've had a strange feeling, a bit stressed, frustration, about to explode etc and i thought a run would sort this so when my cat woke me at 1 i donned my running gear!!! What is happening to me
So week 5 run 1, 3 x 5 mins run but the last 5 mins i kept running to 7.5 mins I'm completely shocked at myself and I'm enjoying it
Some help please.....i keep getting a stitch, why do i get this and how do i not get it lol I'm surprised i only got it on my 2nd 5mins and not the 3rd
Time to get ready for work |

Sorry you’re working so hard. It sounds relentless.
But that’s amazing about the running. To feel able to continue at the end is awesome. Your fitness must be improving loads.
I have no idea about why people get stitches. I’m sure one of our experts can help.
Really well done. Hope your last shift flies by. |

Will probably run Wednesday night now
It was bloody freezing today and snowing a bit lol"
Really well done. Is that the five minute run? I think that’s a big step forward - it the first one that I would have thought was impossible. |

Admittedly it's the old boy at the back that starts it off and it's not every week but it's priceless when it happens. |
