I did (not in 60 mins like they said but 70) but not bad considering at the start I couldn’t even run 2 mins without struggling! I used to run a few years back but ended up with a nasty kidney issue which stopped me and I never got back into running. I used to go to the gym a lot pre lockdown 1 though and did spin classes/weights/the step machine. But hadn’t done anything from March until November when I picked the app up!Well done!! Did you manage to run the full 10k at the end of it? Did you have much running experience prior?
You've done amazing. 70 minutes is great, hope I'll be able to do it in a similar time when I get to that point.I did (not in 60 mins like they said but 70) but not bad considering at the start I couldn’t even run 2 mins without struggling!

Thanks I’m doing a half marathon in august so got a goal to get me moving haha. I’ve been having gels whilst running which really seem to help me. Maybe psychological maybe not!You've done amazing. 70 minutes is great, hope I'll be able to do it in a similar time when I get to that point.
Is that virtual or in person? I've been tempted to sign up for some kind of race to give me further motivation but unsure with the logistics of it all.Thanks I’m doing a half marathon in august so got a goal to get me moving haha.

I’m sure you’ll do well too - the app really does work it’s magic.
It’s in person. It was due to be in May but has been delayed till august where they think it will be more likely to go ahead. I’m hopeful as I just know I wouldn’t be able to do it alone round my town!Is that virtual or in person?

Where abouts in your pelvis?This post could be TMI but...let's see. I recently started running for the first time ever (doing Couch To 5k) and almost every time I run (I've done four runs so far) I get a really sharp pain in my pelvis. It pretty much stops as soon as I'm done running. I've had a smear recently and everything's all good, don't have any other symptoms so I'm inclined to think that it's not a 'women's problem' and could be tight hip flexors/muscles? Has this happened to anyone else?!
So it was kind of right in the center (kind of my vagina!) so I worried myself for weeks - I've started doing stretches before and after running now and it's totally stopped.Where abouts in your pelvis?
Oh good. I have some weakness in my pubis, where the bones meet and can sometimes feeling them gratingSo it was kind of right in the center (kind of my vagina!) so I worried myself for weeks - I've started doing stretches before and after running now and it's totally stopped.
Be careful, I ignored calf pain for a while and I now have stress fracture from running so that’s awesome. Do you have properly fitted running shoes? Have you checked that your technique is correct too?During couch to 5k, I got terrible calf pain and it prevented me from running the rest of the runI do and have always stretched before and after the run. Does anyone have any other tips? Should I stop running for a while?
Well done! Aww there’s a couple of alpacas on my usual run tooLast week I ran for the 1st time in months!
ran 2k without stopping, which I was expecting to do but my goal was to run to the local alpacas (my reward haha) and walked back across the fields so they were wet n muddy.
Today I went out for a walk but ended up running a bit. Again I run to the alpacas! I’ve got to work out a route or 2 that is 5k.
That’s why I’m scared! I did go for one run with the calf pain there already and I think that’s what’s screwed it this time.Be careful, I ignored calf pain for a while and I now have stress fracture from running so that’s awesome.

If you have pain, you need to rest for a few days until the pain has completely subsided. Have a look at some YouTube videos and pay attention to how your feet should be landing, your posture, swing of your arms, stride, etc. I was landing my feet wrong for years, which I realised after going for running assessments, and after correcting my technique it has made a world of difference.That’s why I’m scared!

I have running shoes and not sure about my technique tbh as I’m a newbie
