Get Running Forums

Me too. It's so frustrating. Don't worry if the intention is there you'll be back with it in no time. Get well soon.

Good for you. Hope it goes ok. Take it really easy!

Big step back for me too. I ran on boxing day; there were far too many people out in the park, of course! I am really self conscious running and I run just that bit faster when there's people around, and I'm always trying to decide whether to start the walking section just before I get to people or ...

Agh! I tried to run on boxing day, week 6 run 3 only to discover the effects of over indulgence; too much cake, roast dinner, late nights drinking and chocolate. There was no way I could run for 25 mins without stopping. I'm going to have to start the week again, maybe several times. I feel like I'v...

And how splendid it was to be running (yes running) in a new landscape. I love walking but would not normally get up so early to walk. I real...

I've just run w5r1.

This morning though I thought, 'hey I'll give week 5 a try, it's a beautifu...

Hi there. I've just done w4r2 too, I hadn't realised it was half way until I saw your post. That thought makes me feel very happy!!! What an achievement! As to the aches and pains, I too have been noticing that my ankles and calves are weak, I'm having to go really quite slowly on the 5 minute run. ...
