About 12 days ago I started walking to get fitter for a 5k in sept. I walk 4 times around the outside of a local field and OH thinks that its roughly 5k. Last week I managed to walk 3 times and trot/jog slowly round the 4th lap.
This morning I went out to do it after a rest of about 4 days and although I walked ok I couldn't manage to jog a whole lap which really upset me and I felt I was going backwards fitness wise.
The only differance today was that it was quite warm weahter wise and I didnt have breakfast before I went, also felt a bit sick when I was trotting (to call it jogging is a bit of a stretch)
Is it normal to do/feel better some days than others? should I push through it or just relax and do what I can? Bit confused to know what is best.
I'm so determined to run this 5k for my dad who died of dementia and I don't want to let myself or dad down. Sorry for rambling.
