Feedback Please! Week 1 Day 1: I made it outside and managed 13 mins, 23 seconds, .71 miles at an average speed of 3.18mph and burned 132.86 calories. My goal was a full 20 minutes but my right ankle starting hurting badly. I think it's just cuz Im really out of shape and the weight is too much for my weak ankle. It's the same one that I broke several years ago and didnt have the cast on long enough for it to set correctly. I decided it would be better to cut my workout short than to risk really injuring myself. I work all day on my feet and cant afford to mess up my legs.
For the couch to 5k routine, week 1 day 1 requires 20 minutes. Did I do the right thing by stopping or am I being weak? I know my fitness level isn't up to par, but Im figuring if I stay consistent that I should keep working on the 20 minute goal, even if I have to repeat week 1. I am also thinking it's going to take time to get my bones used to running. Am I right about that? Will my bones get stronger? I'd really like to hear about your experiences with running in the hopes I can get some peace. Im feeling horribly guilty for not doing the full 20 minutes but I'm also scared of hurting myself.
