I started out very easily on the C25K program, and in the first 9 weeks it ramped up up pretty gently. After that I did the 10K bridge, and I found that adding an additional 10K day and a long Sunday run (that one gets another 10% each week) was quite easy and comfortable. I was very surprised that I avoided any niggling injuries to date (there was a momentary scare with new shoes that had low heel drop causing calf pain), especially as I was clobbered repeatedly by ITB when I ran 30 years ago. Maybe because the very hilly area here mixes the run up a lot? One thing I am feeling now is the need to change my eating habits. I've dropped about 8kgs in the last 5 months, which helps the knees. However, with Myfitnesspal I've also been doing calorie limiting, but I'm starting to feel the effects of that in decreased energy. I did well in the past on LCHF, and while they say you shouldn't start a new training regime and LCHF together, I think I could shift to it now. I think I'll feel much better running on keto than limited food intake.
