Re: Week 6

The 25-min running went well, actually very well. I am a bit surprised, as I had imagined that I would have to walk when I reached the 10-15 minutes, but no - I ran on and on (slowly though). So I'm still hangin' in ;)
Have a nice running weekend

Re: Week 6

Well well well - I did not like the 2 x 10 mins run yesterday - nearly gave up after the first 9 mins, and struggled through the next 10 min run. Absolutely lousy day - me not happy :cry: Will try the Runkeeper app next to iPod & get running tomorrow - and see how the 25-min run goes... Unfortun...

Re: Week 6

Hi Carlos I also did the w6,r1 yesterday - it was harder than the 20 mins?! I don't know how far I run - how do you measure the distance? I've mapped out a rute on the internet, but that is inclusive of the walking, so it is not so accurate. At the moment I have the iPod and the get running app runn...

Re: I can call myself a runner - claire says so !!!!!

Yup - it was a genuinely nice feeling when Claire said the magic words :D (and I repeat them to anyone who wants to listen to me :D :D ) The pace was slow, but having 'listened' to all the runners in here, it seemed a good idea and it was. I fear nothing now - but look forward to increasing my speed...

Re: Wondering when the good days start to outnumber the bad

Maybe you should turn it around and think about the satisfaction in completing this programme, that you do it for yourself - it's your project, and you can be proud of each week you complete.
