Run 2 of couch25k tonight which is the last run/walk with 2x10mins running and the single 3min walk.

Had a hell of a week in work with me walking 18.7km's on Tuesday alone and tonight i felt as knackered as i have since i started the program. Knees are suddenly sore, back is aching and mentally i just feel fucked.

Im also losing weight through a calorie controlled diet and have lost just over 2st since the middle of March and im wondering if due to the increased run times now, up to 25min runs with next 2 weeks seeing me do 3x25mins then 3x28mins and finally 3x30mins i need to up the calorie intake safe in the knowledge that due to the running it wont mean i suddenly start to put weight on again?

Any tips greatly appreciated.

Eat 2000 kcal oriels a day and just keep running. You will reach your natural healthy weight"...no drama. Don't over complicate...keep it simple stupid !

im doing the 10k sunday and i thought last night nearly 6k in 39 mins was good for me. Mix of running & walking.

You ran 3 minutes outside a track world record 5k?? Where and when was this? Not a parkrun surely??

Unless being vague...took between 15 and 30 mins (so 29 mins :) )

He meant 15mins 30secs.

I thought so...just trying to make myself feel better about my own time.

25 mins and 3.84km last night in what felt like the heat of a fucking oven.

Hard work!

ONLY prob

that's faster than the world record female parkrun

only problem is...last time I looked i was a bloke!
Also I ran that time on a synthetic track not a park run....
I have no talent at all and am totally ordinary.....just trained regularly at the time.....
Anyway we were talking weight loss.....people over complicate....
Eat 2000 calories a day as a bloke run enjoy it and your body will find its natural weight....
Not all city fans drink 10 pints on match day!, ;-)

No at Stanley park Blackpool on track? It was a while ago .....I don't even know if track is still there?
It's all about the journey.....
Anyone running at all ....any time is doing fine.
#respect.......the only person you race is yourself.........mo farah would laugh his head off at my best !!

I did indeed mean 15mins 30seconds.
Listen I am older and slower now ........
You guys are running great.....
I was only justifying I do know a bit about weight loss etc.....
I just ran a slow sweaty one hour tonight....
Like I said just get out and enjoy it.....most running is done in your mind. People said barriers for themselves...like l can't run under 25 mins for 5k say? Then it becomes a issue rather than just running......I have a very simple and holistic approach?

Wasn’t doubting you sir.
Just assumed you meant 15 min park run which would have surely made you in the top 1% !
Still, amazing times for them distances.
