W1R3 complete, and it felt easier although I was still puffed out lol
I bought some new running shoes last week, Nike. Not sure they are good runners...the toes on my left foot all had pins and needles!! Might need to look at alternatives! Anyone got any recommendations? X

My current runners are Nike pegasus, I like them a lot, really springy, though I did put new insoles in them for a bit more cushioning. My first ones were asics, these were great first runners, basic ones. I do know that you need to go up a half or even whole size. I'm a 6 - 6 1/2 but my running shoes are 7s. This stops your toes banging the end of your shoe.
The other thing is are you tying them too tight? This could give you pins and needles. They shouldn't be as tight as you usually would tie trainers. I pull the criss cross part of my laces only tight enough so they are not baggy, I do a knot but go under twice with the end of the lace then pull it just a little tighter than the rest then wrap the bow as usual. They are loose enough to be able to get them off and back on again without re-tying them. Hope you understood all that what a babble!

Just got back from op. Went fine though it feels like I've been in a fight! Dentist has told me not to run for 3 months! Thought that sounded bit excessive!? What do I know though?
Got to take it really easy for the next few days anyway, not to jolt it at all, not even supposed to talk much!
Managed to get in w9r1 this morning though at least. Oh well!

I have just read up about the C25K challenge.. Ive always hated running. That perhaps is because in most of my adolescent and adult life I have been overweight and now into the obese category (but not for long) And I would like to take it up (I think lol). What made you guys motivated to do that first run though? I might do a trail run tomorrow see what happens. eek!

Hiya!
I was sitting at my computer, musing over the fact that I couldn't find exercise classes to go to when the kids were at work and I actually had some free time and thought how much easier it would be if I could just go out for a run! However the one and only time I had purposely gone out for a run I thought my lungs and legs would explode before I'd even got to the end of my road! I wondered if there was any 'learn to run' websites then found out about c25k.
It is brill, I've actually done the programme a few times now (when I lapse ) and before I had an op this week was running for 30 mins comfortably.
Go for it! You'll be surprised, I was NOT built to run, but there I was actually running (or more accurately shuffling )and even more amazingly enjoying myself!

Hi Emmie
Bear in mind you will probably hate it for the first week (i did!) - but when you get to week 3 you feel like you will never go back. I couldnt run for 90 seconds when i first started and now im running 20 mins straight, Doesnt sound like a lot but its getting better every week

Okay, sooo if you are going after lunch you need to allow your lunch to go down first or you'll give yourself stitch. Alternatively hold of on your lunch until you get back.
I can't have anything to eat or more than a mouthful to drink before I go out or I get major discomfort though everyone is different. Plus I'm always starving when I get home
Hope it goes well hun x
