I've recently decided to take up running and this was about 2 weeks ago. I have since found that I absolutely love it
. At first it was just a way to get back into shape but the more I push myself the more I find that I am enjoying every mile I run. So I've decided to train for a 5k and I'm aiming to getting there in about 5 weeks. I"m running 5 times a week and walking 4 miles on the 6th day
a bit crazy but I do enjoy pushing my limits. I started out simply running for 5 minutes and then increased it to 10 minutes this week, next week I will increase it to 15 minutes. I tend to walk for 20 minutes before I start running, Run for 10 minutes , walk 5 mins then run 2 minutes / walk 1 for the last 5 / 10 minutes of my workout. I will continue to add 5 minutes to my running time until I'm up to 35 minutes without walking. (any suggestions / comments on how I can better this are most welcome)I'd also like to add that while I am pushing my limits I never get out of bed limping or have my legs so sore that I struggle to walk.
While I'm still getting to a stage where I will be able to run my first 5k I'm really enjoying the process of getting there and look forward to conversing with all of you.
