RE: #Ulog 002 - A real mental challenge
Well done for trying the Couch to 5k scheme. You might want to use the #running tag in your post as it is a major one.
I attend parkruns every saturday as my wife @bingbabe is a runaholic. Me? Well I keep trying and keep injuring my left calf every time I do.
If you can manage 20 minutes without stopping then you are doing better than me when my leg works. I can do around 1km then need to stop.
Thank you @slobberchops I have added the #running tag to my post. I keep learning daily :) I am sorry to hear about your calf, it must be really annoying! We are thinking about doing a Park Run at some point as we are getting to the point that we feel we might be able to make it all the way around.
If you can run without stopping for 20 minutes it wont be a problem for you. The whole course will take you 32-35 minutes at max.
@shanibeer and @steevc are both runners and there's quite a community on Steemit for running. #runningproject tag is another one you can use for running posts.
You might want to have a look at becoming an approved runner with @runningproject as that will bring you an extra vote on all your posts, not just running ones. You can find out more about it in this Status Report. Good luck - I'm still chuckling about Sarah Millican!
Actually @shanibeer I do intend to start running on a regular basis from next week when I finish this gig if my leg holds up. I know this wasn't directed at me, but I will take your advice!
That's great. I walk a lot of the time, and run when I feel it isn't going to lead to injury. For me, the main thing is getting out there three or four times a week - once you're up and out, the rest follows.
Oops, that was meant for @jenniferbailey, too complicated to edit as I am running out the door! Hope you get to read it @jenniferbailey!
Aargh, just made a mistake a left a comment for @slobberchops intended for you! I'll get my coat
@shanibeer - I found your comment so all is good! I have been doing mostly intervals so this was the first 'proper' run without stopping. I have quite a bit of work to do as I am pretty slow. I always think that as long as I'm moving it beats anyone sat at home on the couch watching TV! Injury is always a worry because it puts you out of action which is frustrating if you are trying to get fitter :)
I agree - moving is better than sitting down, however slowly. Just take your time, you'll be fine :)
