  5. walk

    Got a free 3-day gym pass so I'm trying to kick start my training. Ct5k Wk5 D1. I run faster and walk slower on a treadmill but pretty pleased with this.

    Went for a long run/walk to try and build up my stamina for the half marathon. My goal was to run/walk for 6 miles and I made it! I then got a bit lost on the way back and ended up going 6.77 mil... read more

  8. RUN
    great 1.55 mi 00:30 19:32 pace

  9. walk
    great 1.38 mi 00:28 20:12 pace

    First run for aaaaages. I did Wk5D1 (3x5 min runs, 2x3 min walks) and found I still had a lot of energy after 3 runs so I kept going and did another 3 runs. Feeling really proud of myself and enc... read more

  10. RUN
    great Outside 1.32 mi 00:25 18:47 pace

    I am surprised how far and how fast I ran! I ran this in three blocks, rather than continuously. My foot was getting numb by the end though - suspect too tight laces are the cause because when I ... read more

      This was an odd run in lots of ways. I don't normally run two days in a row and it was a lot harder than yesterday. I was running on busy streets/crossing roads, rather than backstreets. I ran too fast in the first block then lost track of how far I'd run so I was amazed to find I ran for nearly 25 minutes (thought it was closer to 20 min).

  11. walk
    good Outside 0.5 mi 00:09:27 18:53 pace

    Ran/walked to pick up my car from Levenshulme. Decided to listen to a non-running podcast which was provided less encouragement to keep going but more distraction.

  12. RUN
    great Outside 1.31 mi 00:25 19:24 pace

    Ct5k Wk7D1 - Lookit that! 1.31 miles :) So chuffed. It was hard work, especially at first when the distance seemed really long. But I told myself I could stop after 10 minutes if I needed to an... read more

  14. RUN
    1.16 mi 00:25 21:51 pace

    Ct5k Wk6D3 - This was going to be a 20 minute run but I felt like I could push a bit further so I ran another 5 minutes! My GPS was out of battery so I had to judge speed and distance myself but I... read more

    Ct5k Wk5 D3 - This isn't the exciting bit, look at the next update!

  20. The plan for the next few runs is pretty simple. I'll attempt to run for 20 minutes. If I don't make it, I walk for 3 minutes and then run for the balance. Once I've got to 20 min, I'll repeat t... read more
