Well I have completed it! Couch to 5k can kiss my hairy arse. Such an unbelievable feeling, even if it did take longer than the 9weeks set out.
Feel like I've hit a massive mile stone and now its only upwards and onwards! I start 5k+ on Friday and introduce the bike to my weekly training. I honestly can't wait!
Found it harder today, not sure if it was the heat or the fact I've been a little naughty diet wise on my hols but found it hard to push myself.
Didn't do as well as last run but still ran for the full 30minutes so that's something to hold onto.
Have the say the Olympics have been inspirational, expecially the Brownlee brothers, what a triathlon, just fantastic. My goal is Rio and moon walking over the finish line,lol.
Managed my first 30minute run today. Slow start with a 13minute mile, knocked 2 minutes off for the 2nd and another for the 3rd.
I owe so much to the NHS couch to 5k plan not to mention the support from my wife and kids. Feeling great!
Love my son so much, keeps pushing me out and on as the pictures show......
Today was my last day of training on week 8, its not been easy getting out at the moment due to work. Have been trying to get out before but seeing as I leave the house at 6.15 and get back at 21.40ish its not been easy. Throw in sleepless night provided by the kids and you really don't want to get up at 5 for a run!
Had support today, love them all and after watching the beginning and end (missed the middle dye to run) of the women's Olympic triathlon, I'm inspired to do more!
Anyway, week 8 is done and its onto week 9. I've 13 days off work so after my three runs I'll be getting the old bike out............exciting yet nervous times :-)
