Welcome back ladies, lads, and nonbinary comrades! Its Monday once again, meaning its time for another Chapo weekly running thread.

Last week’s thread

Remember that it supposedly takes three weeks to form a habit, so if you can make it through this week you’re already setting yourself up for success. For those of you who already have that habit formed, keep it up!

I started week 3 of the c25k today, and it absolutely slayed me. I guess I was more out of shape than I realized. My calves feel like lead, but honestly its more a good wakeup call than anything. I started running so I wouldnt feel like this anymore, so if anything it means Im on the right track. Worst case scenario, I can just redo week three next week if I’m not ready to move to week four.

How about everyone else? Any successes, failures, or interesting stories? Even if you dont run and just want to drop by to support the comrades, feel free to post below!
