Sounds like your body is getting used to it now
I'm going to have a go at my first run on week 2 tomorrow morning, I've been to agility this afternoon so should be interesting to see how my legs cope!

Did the first week 2 run this morning, think I slightly pulled a muscle yesterday at agility so a bit sore now.

I've been running on and off for 2 years now, and the best advice I give is - joint supplements...

Jogging/Running is a high impact exercise, and if you've not done it before (or are a bit overweight etc), and aren't wearing decent shoes etc, you can do your knees and ankles some serious damage (not to mention hips etc).

I started taking glucosamine and cod liver oil, and I wouldn't be without them now!

Also, if you're thinking of going further than the C25K - invest in a decent pair of running trainers. Multi-purpose ones just don't provide the support your feet/ankles need for running (especially if you're on pavements etc)...

2 years ago, I couldn't run 100m. Last year I completed 2 10K runs in 7 days.... not bad for an overweight 30-something!

Thanks for that!
I used to take glucosamine but stopped when I stopped running, Now just Teg has it! Will have to start again.
I'm going to see how I go then maybe invest in some new trainers, although can't really afford to spend loads on trainers atm

I got mine from Ebay - chucked them in the wash before I used them, but I'm not too bothered about secondhand shoes. I've had knee problems in the past and had to quit going to the gym as the stuff I used most often (treadmill, bike, etc.) just aggravated them, so far so good with the C25K though I'm making a point of running on grass though, I will work my way up to running on pavements once my legs/muscles are a bit stronger!

I would like to just run on grass but unless I do a 10 min walk to the park first that isn't an option. But when I'm at the park I do tend to run on the paths not grass because I find it easier!

Have you tried supplements? When I started running, my knees were agony - since I started taking supplements, they are loads better!

i start my first one tomorrow! ive downloaded all the 9 weeks podcasts, and im going to do my runs on monday wednesday and friday for now..

will let you know how we get on in the morning.. i just thought though, i dont have a belt to attach asbo's lead to, i will just be holding it, hope this isnt a problem though.

It's to do with unequal muscles pulling the kneecap at the wrong angle, apparently fairly common in women, had physio for it and if I do my exercises it's not so bad but I get lazy! The bicyle at the gym just seemed to aggravate it, using the wrong muscles I think. I've been trying to eat healthier lately too so hopefully that will help, but I guess I could share the dogs' supplements!

I just use a Halti lead and clip it around me. One end fits perfectly and sits just on my hips, though I intend to sew a proper belt thing eventually.

I just used a halti lead round my waist too.
Now have a running/walking belt from Kisi, will find you a link when on my comp if you like? Reasonably priced and I find makes a big difference, although with the size of Asbo you might not notice!
One thing to consider if you're holding the lead is do you move your arms much?! I find it really restrictive holding the lead and I can't jog properly
Have fun tomorrow!
