Well I'm still going, at the minute I've taken to focusing entirely on the treadmill, I'm still doing the C25K thing and I'm going to be starting week 3 when I next go to the gym.
I'm feeling better, I'm still sweating like a stuck pig and getting pretty out of puff (I know people tell you not to get out of breath by the time the walking intervals are up I'm fine and my heart rate has dropped sufficiently) I noticed today that I actually felt more comfortable going at a faster speed than I have been, so obviously something is working.
The pain is feeling much better as well, when I tried running on the pavement the agony was fucking crippling, it was pretty bad when I started on the treadmill as well but that seems to be dissipating pretty fast and I'm left with a good sort of pain.
I've still not lost any timber that I have noticed yet but my leg muscles are growing at a pretty alarming rate, I've always had pretty thick legs, in fact if I wouldn't have discovered cigarettes and alcohol when I was 14 I most likely would have ended up playing rugby but there you go.
Anyways man, I'm feeling pretty good, I know it still isn't a lot that I'm doing but I'm quarter of the way through C25K and within (a minimum) of 6 more weeks the goal is to be able to run 30 minutes non stop, once I can do that I can work on distance and then I can start incorporating other things into this newfound lifestyle.
Also (and @
Master you will be very please about this) Thursday nights have always been my prequel to the weekend where I blast my music and down 8 cans of strong lager, today I went to the gym and drank a fuck load of water, I'm trying to give myself 3 days a week (Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday) at the minute but it's been a bit hit and miss with social commitments.
Next step when I get paid I'm gunna invest in a semi decent pair of trainers, the ones I'm in at the moment are alright but not really made specifically for running (plus they stink like satans arsehole after a vindaloo)
