So normally i run inside on a treadmill and I've been thinking wow, this whole running thing isn't so bad. Today i decided to finish week 2 of the program outside. Ha, i almost died. Running outside is a whole different ballgame. Heat, hills, & not pacing myself. I did finish it but i was near having a heart attack. I think i will get in better shape, keep training on a treadmill, then start training outside.

Hey Rachel, great to see how well you are doing. I just did Week 2 workout 2 today. I am doing it all outdoors and it is well worth running outside. I hope you don't mind, I signed up as a follower of your blog. Somedays I need a bit of healthy competition/inspiration.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work,

Being a large runner, running outside would be too much stress on my bones/joines, so I'm completing the program on a treadmill. Once I do that, I'm going to work my way back a bit in the program and start over from week 4 or 5 outside. Then I have my first 5K on 11/21. Glad to be on this journey with you, keep it up!
ReplyDeletePat, i think its great you are doing it outside and thanks for following me! Hopefully we will help each other along the way.
ReplyDeleteGuttermouth, i am going to do what you are doing as well. Build up my strength and endurance on a treadmill then start working outside. I also live in PA so winters wouldnt be much fun outside :) Awesome that you signed up for a 5k already. I am looking to do one in November as well otherwise i will have to wait till the winters over.
Rachel,
ReplyDeleteI will be finishing W2 D3 tomorrow morning and I am having a hard time with this week, I started it last week but with a sick kiddo and my grandparents in town I wasnt able to finish it so I started it again this week. I will be moving to a treadmill later when its to cold to run outside but I dont like treadmills so we will see how it goes. I look foward to following you to see how your journey is going and maybe I will blog about my running too.
Frances, thanks for following me! I know with a family its not always easy to get your runs in but keep up the good work! I didnt like running on a treadmill either but now that i have gotten use to it i like it. What state do you live in?If you start a blog let me know and i will follow yours :)
