Welcome ILUVPOOH&TINK and Andie70124!
Happy Mom- Congrats on finishing your unofficial 5k! Are you using the c210k method to train for the 10k? How is it? A friend at the gym was doing it the same time I was doing my 5k training. The big difference I could see was the training seesions are 60minutes instead of 30.
kappyfamily- Good job on the long wun! Do you mind me asking how long your running intervals are? I'm struggling to do more than 4 minutes of running.
Mama Dis- I'm jealous of your big girl running shoes! I have been meaning to go to a running store and be properly fitted. I'm running in old Addidas and wonder if they are contributing to my problems?
As for me I just finished a really tough run. I'm still on week 4 of the c25k program which is alternating 3 minute and 5 minute running intervals. The first time I did this I just barely managed to finish the 5 minute intervals but today I just couldn't do it. I ended up walking for a minute in the middle. I just felt like I was dragging butt today. I'm thinking I'm going to have to repeat this week and build up my endurance more before I progress. The next week is all 5 minute intervals and I don't see that happening after today's workout
