Couch to 5K - Week of 04 ? 10 November

losingjusme · November 11, 2007

sweet - try a level 0 for a week or two and see how the shin splints are. then maybe gradually increase it up again (maybe 1 level a week or every other week).

whos - glad your knees are not screaming so loudly my knees still if i go above 4.7 are very unforgiving. good luck on week 4 next week. i am definitely redoing week 3 (again)

I saw this addressed briefly by one person- when yall were starting, what did you do for speed?? I was doing 4 mph on the treadmill - definitely slow but dont' know if I should do that for week 1 (which I'm going to repeat) before going to week 2 or try to boost the speed a bit at first

suggestions??

(my heiny doesn't know what the hell happened to it. The eliptical doesn't work it like running does )

I go outside so I have no ide ahow fast I am going. I do know that I am going SLOW - everyone passes me. I can confirm as of today that I am actually running faster than my brisk walk and I wasn't very sure of this! I would take it really slow to begin with becasue you are using new muscles and I think you will know as it gets easier that you can up your speed a bit.
