Happy Face 29 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Didn't like the shitty music on that NHS one so I've made my own using the bits where she comes in and my own music selections. Think I'll do that for each week as I go. Here's week 1 if you want to use it CT... https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByKcu35MQu-pNFlSNVVUUnVvS0U/edit?usp=sharing did run number 2 of week 1 today and covered 3.6km already. I'm not sure that it should take so long to reach the 5km target... unless you're a spherical person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I've got long legs like, i walk 2.5km of that in 23 minutes and run the other KM in 8 minutes. Any running I normally do I just go hell for leather and don't think about it though. This is brilliant for not being in agony at the end and being put off by exhaustion. I'm going to stick with it. I live 4.95km from work so it's the perfect distance to build up to slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 On your run now then? I just finished and remarkably I don't need a machine to ventilate for me. Just completed day 1 and feeling pretty euphoric. The run / walk routine is much more enjoyable than simply running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catmag 336 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Okay, I detest running. In fact there aren't words to describe just how much I hate it. I was forced to do cross country at school despite being asthmatic and near-death by the end of it and it's absolutely scarred me ever since. I can swim like a fish (I've swam 5k before) and yet I always wished I could run and be enthusiastic about it but I've never even tried due to the aforementioned childhood trauma and extreme self-consciousness. However. I'm going to bite the bullet and start this tomorrow, Apologies in advance because if by some miracle I'm running 5k in 8 weeks you will not hear the end of it (and I'm tempted to say that I'll show my arse in Fenwicks window but I'm NOT going to do that to the people of Newcastle) So let's see. This is from someone who would literally (and has) let a bus pull away from a stop without me rather than run for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was once told by a fitness instructor, that when you first start running, plan your route out, jog the for the first three minutes and walk the rest of the route out then increase your run by three minutes every day until you can run the whole course.

Gemmill 34461 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Good luck! You'll be running 5k and beyond before you know it. And once your brain knows you can do it, you'll never lose the "fitness" to do it again, even if you take 3 months off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can do Zumba for an hour, or swim for an hour without a problem but my head tells me that I can't run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 3997 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Good Luck @@catmag Ive always hated running (along with most other exercise tbf), however the idea of setting off and knowing I dont have to run all the time certainly made a big mental difference. I actually found myself eager for the running bit to come on. I also found it hard doing a "light jog" as you instictively seem to want to go faster. Im hoping I "get the running bug" doing this while the weathers canny and that that carries me through the colder months when its pissing down. First things first though, Day 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19824 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I hate running for anything more than 3 miles. I just get board. I can't imagine training for a marathon, got huge respect for those that do. Friends tell me you zone out and that's part of the appeal but I need short bursts of different types of training to keep me interested. I'll do a couple of laps of my park once a week. That's about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
