Get Running Forums

Wow!!!! Never ever did I think I would get this far! Today I finished week 4 and that is an achievement in it's self. Something that I've noticed is that although I'm still losing weight it has slowed down, I've only lost 4lbs since I started the programme but I have lost nearly 3 inches on my waist...

Great stuff and well done. I've got the dreaded week 5 coming up next week and I'm not over confident I'll do well with it.

Today i made what was probably a big mistake. Today was my scheduled run 2 on week 3 but it also clashed with my personal trainer session at the gym. I was in two minds as to whether i should put my run off till tomorrow but decided to go for it and do both......oh how wrong could i be!!! At 0900 i ...

Sam please don't dessert us. Stay on the forum and keep us updated with your 10k attempts as like the others you have been an inspiration to me!

Well done

Littlelegs, firstly well done on starting the programme and secondly well done on making this post about struggling. I too struggled on week 1 but believe me it does get better.

I've had my gait analysed and bought new runners so it could be down to them or simply i weigh over 300 pounds ...

How'd it go Jimmy?! I bet it was fine, you smiled all the way through and are itching for run 2. Am I right?! :) Samantha, i'm so glad you put a smiley face. :D The run was awful but for the right reasons. It was blowing a hooley and the rain was very cold, isn't this meant to be summer :roll: The ...

Oh well it's here! Week 3 run 1, with it's 3 minute runs. Can't say it's filling me with confidence but what the hell I've come this far so ain't stopping now. I'll let you know how it goes later.

Samantha, thank you for the encouragement. I did week 2 run 2 today but a bit differently. Today I used the treadmill at my gym and hated the run, the other runs I have done outside along a canal towpath and feel being out in the open air far more enjoyable than breathing in the warm air conditioned...
