Couch to 5k
Welcome to today's blog! Today, I will be sharing with you the growing subject of people training to run 5k. Enjoy!
Over 4-5 weeks ago, my mum and I started a little app called C25k (Couch to 5k) where you would run 3 times a week at different levels. There are multiple apps you can get too all with different levels. The firs week for us was to run for 60 seconds and then walk for 90 seconds. I was fine at this but my mum was struggling as she hadn't ran for a very long time (we took a DNA test and she's supposed to have genes of an elite athlete though). We did this eventually before we had a day's rest and then went for week 2 which was doubled that. week after week it got harder and harder before we now come up to date where my mum is running for 22 minutes straight. I however injured myself on the trampoline doing a sit jump (see blog number 43) when my leg went off the edge of the trampoline and my chin slammed into my chest. It hurt a lot and I might even have a broken rib for all I know! anyway, I stopped running and then 2 days ago, we decided that I should start from the beginning. Since I hadn't run for so long, level 1 was very hard; not to mention the giant pain in my chest. But I managed it and I did another run today and before long, I will be putting on my running shoes and heading out for my 3rd run this week. I think that everyone should at least get out once a week to do a run just like this or even harder.
Thanks y'all!

Well done both of you! It sounds like a good way to ease your body into running.
