Re: Help/Advice please!

Have you looked into HIIT (high impact interval training) instead? I have yet to find a reliable source that says bad things about this. It basically run fast for 1 min jog for 2 and repeat 5-8 times. The idea is 15-20ish mins of running but traing smarter rather than longer. Its well praised for in...

Re: Help/Advice please!

I wouldnt start again because you know what both your body and mind can deal with it. There is something holding you back and everyone gets this (i had it today) and it really could br anything like mood or energy levels or music or just run down. My advise is just to keep going.

Re: Week 5 run 3 - solid 20 mins (eek!)

Today was a terrible day! Over the weekend I caught THE worst sore throat I have EVER had. It was so painful that every time I swallowed (which it turns out is rather a lot!) I was wincing in pain. I couldn't really sleep last night because every time I was about to drop off I needed to swallow and ...

Re: Did my first run - feel like I'm going to die!!!

I had to repeat week 1 twice before i could finish it and im on the last run of week 9 now and i finish my runs feeling that i could easily keep going. So keep at it and you, like all the rest of us have, complete the programme looking back at your first weeks and laughing at hiw you struggled.

Inbroke my own rules and ran it a bit faster this time, still could have kept going to be honest so i can easil...
