Hiya everyone. I was wondering if any of you fabulous people have or are participating in the C25K challenge on the WW site?
I've heard about it and fancied having a go but I have no clue where or how to get started with it!! If any one could pass on their immense wisdom I would be mostist grateful.

Hey Lex
ReplyDeleteI'm not doing it as I already run 6+ Km per session anyway but I couldn't always do that. In fact I couldn't run for more than a minute a few years ago.
My advice would be is to start slow. Jog and walk in intervals for a set period of time and gradually increase over a few weeks.
Walk to warm up
Jog for 1-2 minutes
Walk for 2-5 minutes and continue for 20 minutes.
Do this for a few sessions then decrease the walk time to 2-3 minutes.
You get the idea so eventually you will be jogging for a longer period than you are walking.
It takes time so don't get disheartened at not being able to run/ jog for long periods. I would also concentrate on time rather than distance for the first month or two and if you track your distance you will find that you are going further than you think.
Good luck and tell us how you get on.
I've tried running - and I am useless, but I think something like this (once I lose more weight!!) might be good for me.
ReplyDeleteLet me know how you get on x
