In reply to Grace. Sure, why not? Something to aim for. :)

I had the early entry link to the Bupa 10K for next year yesterday I think and I'm going to do it next year 😀 Fancy it again?

In reply to Matt Mason. Delighted to be of assisstance, sir. Hope you're enjoying the C25K programme. While it's basically just "interval training", it's paced well and allows you a smug sense of satisfaction every time you complete a session. Difficulty ramps up significantly after week 4, though, so be warned!

I just wanted to say thanks for motivating me to start the C25K program; running is very cathartic and probably one of the best habits I've picked up. So, uh, thanks!

In reply to Lexington Gout. I would indeed. Probably 5K -- 10K by September might be a bit ambitious. But yes, certainly up for that.

Would you be interested in signing up to do either a 5k or a 10k run in the middle of September? It's just outside Winchester.

Well done in your running pursuits! I'm doing the Great North Run in September and started running Jan-April until injury hit. Haida month off and am back into it. My training is different to yours as I deliberately didn't want to do the walk/run/walk thing. If I walk I won't start again. So, my toppest tip for you is to go slowly, very slowly. The slower you run, the langer distances you can go the more cals you burn. By the end of April I was doing 5 miles, it was taking me an hour, but I bloody well did it and burnt a shit load of cals! I run outdoors, in wind and rain, up and down hills and being outside in the remoteness of he countryside is bloody brilliant. Stick at it. Look for runs to aim at and stop thinking about times and aim for distances :)

Sound like a great program!

I was supposed to go with my wife to renew our gym memberships today, but my Golden Retriever broke his pinky toe yesterday and we ended up taking him to get all bandage up instead. I used to run and things of the sort, as I'm in quite good shape, but an unexpected heart problem, well, two actually, have slowed me down a good deal on the exercise front. Really need to get back in the gym to keep the pounds off.

Oh, and after all the Katawa Shoujo talk on your blog, I gave it a go yesterday. Completely unaware of what it was or anything, I tried it and well, I'm really glad I did!

I remember there's one day that goes 7 min. running, break, 5 min. running, break, and then 7 min. running that killed me when I did the program. There are a couple days in there that are just killers. Good on you for sticking with it 🙂
