Thats a good start! I do 400 x 8 for me works well for me but I am bloody shattered afterwards
Doing a 5 miler tonight... gonna hurt! Think i'll aim for about 40 mins ish... but depends on weather and how tired I feel!
Just been out and bought myself a new sports top.... motivation

Another 5km today (knocked 15seconds off my time from yesterday) very happy. Day off tomorrow but I really want to get out there again.
does anyone really see the benefit of rest days? Surely a shorter, easier run would be better then just doing nothing?

Thats awesome congrats
Rest days are important as I found out to my detriment! It gives muscles time to heal and build and your body time to recover. I now have at least 1 rest day a week and feel better for it!

I just feel, if i have a rest day. That im being lazy and should be going for a run lol ridiculous i know Consider your rest day(s) part of your training. You will actually get worse without them. I did have a period of doing 2.5 miles easy on my rest day (Friday) because I had a tempo run on the Saturday mornings, and I tended to feel sluggish if I didn't do something the day before. But I always ended up running 6:40 pace. Not super fast, and it was only a short run so it felt easy, but it was perhaps a bit too fast.

Depends on your aims. Are there any specific events you're aiming for? If you just want general conditioning then 5k/10k sessions will most likely give you the greatest benefit. I can give you lots of sessions if you narrow it down a bit.

Sessions such as:
8-10 x 400, 3 mins rest
6-8 x 600, 2-3 mins rest
12-16 x 200, 90 secs - 2 mins rest
You can also throw in:
6 x 800, 2 mins rest for endurance
3-5 x 1k for endurance/V02max
Enjoy.

Rest days make me feel so lazy - I decided to not do anything at all yesterday because my body was pretty pissed at me and literally spent the night before thinking about what wouldn't 'count' as exercise 
And then I did nothing today 
It shows in my motivation and energy levels though - I need me my gym fix!

Could you give me an easy, a medium and a tough vo2 max session?
Right, sod my life right now.
I've been soooooo lax about my running lately. I'm going to try and keep up the 6 day week I had last term with varying my runs a little bit. Spent ages on mapmyrun this afternoon trying different routes of varying lengths
Actually quite excited to get this going!

ok thanks for the advice but by rest do you think its better to walk or should i try and continue jogging
Just started the C25K, did my week 1 run 2 today
I can really feel myself already becoming addicted, I really wanted to go out on my rest day yesterday
I never thought I'd like running outside, I'm more of a treadmill kind of guy. I thought I'd be more self-conscious but after a few minutes I was alright
Excited for my next run, maybe I'll do some core muscle excises or something tomorrow
