I'd have to give up working out and I'd end up eating all sorts of comfort foods. By the time I was better, I wasn't in the mood to workout anymore. I seem to have gotten over that and can get back into workout after getting sick these days. I'm still struggling with nutrition though so the weight isn't coming off right now, but I'm getting stronger. <br /><br />I'm actually doing round 2 of C25K right now. I just finished week 6. I love going back and reading my posts from last year so I can see the improvement. Have you tried slowing down on your running segments to see if you can get further into it? I tried running on a treadmill years ago when I was going to the gym. I'd set it to like 4 MPH and I'd manage about 45 seconds before I wanted to die! It's so much better for me to run on the street or at the high school track because I can just slow down as I need to in order to keep going. During my first round of C25K, I was usually at about a 15 to 16 minute mile pace. This year I'm between 12:30 and 14:30 depending upon if I'm going uphill or not and how cold it is. I can't breathe well in the cold so I run slower so I don't die. <br /><br />Keep at it and keep me posted on how you're doing!

I would run (the whole time) 4 1/2 miles no problem. Then a knee injury happened, PT, working 60+ hours a week, life, stress, commuting to work, etc. and I gained 80lbs. I started C25K a little over a year ago and managed to get through week 3 (took me 5 weeks to get there.) I had to do week 1 twice bc I thought I was going to pass out after only doing half. After 3 weeks I started seeing results and decided to join the gym. Ironically, the gym was my downfall. I got so distracted by the machines that I wasn't running as often and then tweaked my bad knee and stopped running all together. Now I'm trying again- no gym this time- and I'm starting back at week 1 and I once again can only do half of a day without feeling like I might pass out, but I know for sure this time that I'll start seeing actual results soon enough and it'll be awesome. So I'm going to keep going and do my best to get that runner's high back.Plain Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11811778309079009058noreply@blogger.com
