Couch to 5k – Final Week!

source I did it!!!!! I’m so happy that I’ve actually stuck this one out and finished the training plan :) I won’t lie – this last week has been tough, my body’s found the longer runs hard going. But I’ve kept going and pushed through. I do feel so much better for regular excercies. The...

Couch to 5k – Weeks 7 & 8

source I didn’t post an update last week, but I was still busy working out. I’m finding this weeks training schedule pretty tough.

Couch to 5K – Week 2

The first week went really well… I managed the workouts with no problem, found myself looking forward to them too!!! I think that I may add in a 4th workout each week as 3 just doesn’t feel like enough. I’m noticing that when I get up and exercise first thing in the morning, it really sets...

Couch to 5K!!

One of the things that is on my 30 Things List is to work out daily. At the beginning of March I started to workout on my cross trainer everyday. For almost 3 weeks I managed it, then I started to ‘invent’ excuses as to why  I couldn’t do it that day… in truth, I’d burnt out – like everything,...
