Well after getting 3 weeks of the way through the BUPA 5k running plan I've had to give up. I fell into a small hole and hurt my foot, and then when that was better I got stinging pains in knees, and then my foot was agony again (although much better now)
I don't know if it's the strain on my joints or whatever with me being so big but with a heavy heart I've had to accept it's no use if I hurt myself every time I go and have to wait at least a week. And anyway now I don't have enough time to train for the 10k I'd wanted to do anyway.
But I did enjoy it and esp as I've now got all the essential kit (ie Nike+ for my iPod!) I wondered whether power walking might be better.
Anyone any experience of using this as their "main" form of exercise and do you find it any good? Do BUPA have any programmes similar to the running ones? I tried to look but their website appears to be down.
?
