Handle9: I've just started week 9 and run 5k for the first time. It's not all together easy, especially if you are a bit heavy like me (I'm 105kg and 191cm), but I've found it very rewarding.
My wife is doing the program as well. The thing we've found most helpful was we have a goal (we want to do the Auckland Marathon 12km over the harbour bridge in November) and doing the program at the same time has been good for supporting each other.
Needless to say the dog loves it too 😀
Well done Handle9 - that is quite the achievement! You've got loads of time to get to the 12km mark by November. But remember - dont overdo it. No more than a 10% increase in time and/or distance each week. Keep one day a week aside for your long run day - mine is Sundays, and just keep building bit by bit. Dont knacker the dog!
You'l find there is no shortage of goals. Time and distance the most obvious - but split this down to different routes and runs you will find you have an endless supply of things to aim for.
