Started 'Couch to 5k today' Anyone keen?

[lucy00us 7]

Hi, I tried once to do the couch to 5k, but my feet and knees didnt help me. I had the sleeve 12 days ago and would like to start some type of exercise regimen. I wonder when would I be ready to start the couch to 5k training? It's two weeks post op to soon?

I did not start until month 5, but that is just me. If you want to start c25k, I think the minimum starting time would be post op 6 weeks. In the meanwhile enjoy the walking outside. Walking is a wonderful exercise after surgery, even after you rid yourself of the co2 gas. You can work on pacing, inclines and more with the walking to make It more challenging without putting undo stress on your sleeve healing process.

I was lucky I started walking a little bit the day after surgery and l started c2k at two weeks post op. I guess I was lucky not to have any knee and back pain because I did have that pre op. Just walk everyday and you will get to the point that you will want to see if you can run. I did the first week of c2k for two weeks but since then it hasn't been bad.

That's great that you have run in 3 races. I ran yesterday and instead of trying to breath a certain way I just tried to go farther and it worked. When do you plan on doing a 10k?

How do I reply with the message I'm replying to on my message? I'm on an android and I can't figure it out.

On the iPhone app there is an arrow in the top right corner of each response. Tap the quote button then it will place that persons response and you can reply under that.

I guess this is how you do it. Thanks Lisa! I just finished week three and Wednesday I start week 4 I'm kinda nervous.

I just wanted to post this article about bad runs and let you all know I'm procehttp://m.runnersworld.com/rt-columns/running-battles-anatomy-bad-runssing it.

I think it's that I'm 1) borderline depressed and I'm fixing that. 2) I don't have proper or good others for running- gonna talk to DH about that. 3)I just had a couple bad runs, happens to the best of em.

Honestly? I enjoy it too much to quit and I'm sorry for being a flake.

Something that concerns me is this: it's getting VERY hot/humid out there even in the evenings. I can't do it in the early mornings anymore because I'm having a REALLY hard time waking lately and the only days I could get out there were fri-sun anyway. I don't have a treadmill and can't get to the activity center most days and really neither of those are my idea of fun anyway, and fun is why I started running. Not sure this is something I can continue long term anyway. .. ..

Hey guys! I ran today! I ran right into a wall again... 0_o got up out of bed to let the dog out, black out for a second and fell face first into the wall. Nice knot on my forehead and woke the whole house up..

Ok back to your regular programming.

Amy glad to see you

Hopefully it's just a depletion thing.

Hey Boo, maybe you need to get your potassium checked out. Try eating a banana early in the AM. This isn't normal stuff, so don't mess around k?

I just so happen to have an appointment with a new endocrinologist that my surgeon recommended (not related to dizziness) I'm sure there will be more blood tests today so I will ask about potassium.

Oh and no running for me today!

I'm doing adrenal supplementation for my low blood pressure and vertigo. Really helps.
