Started week 5 this morn 3 5 min runs we're completed with no problems , I'm now feeling stronger with each run and really looking forward to run 3 this week . Can't believe how far I've come on since week 1 hopefully the progress will continue .

Week 4 now completed , good solid run so all in all week 4 was quite a success considering my injury from last week , now for the hard work as week 5 is just around the corner

Just finished run 2 of week 4 and all is going well , still no probs with my knees so I'm hoping I've put that injury behind me now , being pain free means for the 1st time I can actually start pushing myself . I chose a more hilly route today which was quite tough but very rewarding at the end of i...

Just completed 1st run of week 4 , and pleased to say I breezed through it , really chuffed considering the pain my knees were in just over a week ago . This was the best run I've had since starting the programme , slight leg stiffness but nothing to bother me , the 5 min runs didn't even seem that ...

Just re-ran week 3 run 3 again to test out the knees . Although I could just start to feel the right knee a bit it never got any worse , the run itself went well apart from a bit of stitch on last run but that was my fault really as I'd eaten to soon before I went for the run so that doesn't bother ...

Injury update , the injury to both knees is a grade 1 medial ligament injury apparently 1 to 2 weeks recovery although my knees seem to be getting better by the day , so with that I'm delaying start of week 4 until a week tomorrow (sat) but I'm hoping to be fit by next weds where I will test my inju...

Week 3 completed but was in absolute agony today runs themselves were no problem but my knees weren't recovered enough for today but I wanted to get week 3 out the way . Sitting here now with ice packs on both knees and unless there is significant improvement during my 2 days off I may have to delay...

Run 2 now completed , was really windy today every street I went down seemed like I was heading into it , 3 min runs seemed like twice that but it could be could preparation for next weeks 5min runs . Knee held out ok still a bit sore though , but all in all really pleased with today considering the...

Thanx for the advice Maddy I was thinking going to a proper running shop myself as next stop , but as the pain isn't to bad just an annoying niggle I'm gonna keep going for a bit longer and see if it get better if not I will be going to a proper shop , hope your run went well and good luck during th...
