Week 2 done & still alive

Post by Pushingit »

Very proud of myself for completing week 2 - think I'm beginning to get into a rhythm - Zola budd needn't worry just yet though - bit scared of doing wk 3 - seems a big jump from 1 1/2 mins to 3 but I wont know until I try - wish me luck

I also thought that going from 1,5 minutes to 3 minutes was quite a big step, but somehow I made it. I even managed to get some kind of a 'rythm' (if that's the right word) when doing the 3 minute run. However, this evening I'm going to start with week 4, and I'm a bit anxious about running 5 minutes.

And I did my first 5 minute run! It wasn't even that difficult, I felt that I had some breath left when Clare told me it was time to walk again. Also my legs felt less tired afterwards.
Every time when I have to start with a new week, I think that the new schedule is impossible, but every time I manage it. I amaze myself :-).

Told you you'd be fine - well done - it's great to hear how people a few steps ahead are getting on and that they're feeling the same progression anxiety

So good to read your comments. I'm about to start week 3 on Monday and it's good to hear that other people thought that the jump up to 3 minutes was a bit scary! Keep wondering if I'm going to get to a point when I hit a wall of can't go any further and will have to 'resit' a week!

Anybody had that experience?

The wonderful thing about GetRunning and the C25K programme is that it takes you through achievable steps. Keep it slow in the 3 min runs. Know that so many others have done it. Enjoy the progress you have already made. You'll hopefully find it far less stressful than moving house! Keep posting here. Share how it's going.
