couch to 5k – First Time 5k runner

Monday 29th March

So, I hate to admit defeat with the Couch To 5k. I can’t do it. Not because of my ability but because it causes a lot of pain. I thought the pain was because it was something new, and the pain would get better with time. However, three weeks in and my ankle and calfContinue reading “Monday 29th March”

Monday 22nd March

Today I hurt. I woke up unmotivated for exercise today. Tired and exhausted. All noted in my earlier post. Me and and my sister went for our run but it didn’t really happen if I’m honest. My sister has hurt her knee and so she had to stop, and I just wasn’t feeling it. Instead,Continue reading “Monday 22nd March”

No Motivation

Morning all! So I felt like I need to write this morning because I have zero motivation to do today’s Couch to 5k run. None at all. I feel completely exhausted.

Today we did the first run of week 2 of Couch to 5K. And it went quite well. We’ve managed to get the local village hall to do our runs in for the time being. It helps my sister, she’s not anxious as there’s nobody around and it’s just us. It also helps me toContinue reading “Week 2 Run 1”

Monday 15th March – Run #3

Today was run 3, the final run of the first week of Couch to 5k. It was a really tough run today. We struggled quite a lot. It was cold. The lake we run around was really busy with people, and me and my sister became very self conscious. My sister didn’t want to carryContinue reading “Monday 15th March – Run #3”

5k so far

Today was the second run following the app. And since this is a new blog I’ll start with how we have found starting the runs. The first one was tough, especially for my sister (T). T hasn’t done any exercise in over 10 years, so this is harder for her than me, I have someContinue reading “5k so far”
