Run around workSet off on C25K W5D2 after work this evening.
about 5 minutes into the first run, I was kind of waiting for the voice to come to say “walk”. It didn’t come. It was 8 mins run, 5 mins walk, 8 mins run 😮
I managed the 8 minutes. and the 5 walk, and 7 the second turn! not bad because I wasn’t mentally ready for that!
Stats for todays run:
Distance: 3.87km
Time: 32m 00s
Cal Burned: 445Â (I know its not accurate but it gives it to me!)
I’m getting it! W5D1 (again!)5mins, 3 times, I can do it… Can’t I?
C25K W5D1Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy…. I just couldn’t finish it :'( I will get the running thing down, but for now it’s just been killing me!
Oh it’s 5min warm up, 5 min run, 3 min walk, 5 min run, 3 min walk, 5 min run, 5 min cool down!
C25k – W4 – Done!So with the disaster of a cycle this morning, I  decided it was time to attack W4D3. And it turns out the treadmill is a lot easier. Mainly due to the fact that it helps you pace yourself I think. I’m going to get a GoPro and record my running and see what way I land on my feet on the treadmill and compare it to the road.
My jog’s are at 6min /km (30 min 5k) but in the last 5 minute stint before cooldown I started pushing it a bit. 6m/km for the first min, 5:45/km for the next min, 5:30/km for the next min, 5:15/km for the next, and 5:00/km for the last one.
It was a push but I made it! was glad to hit that cooldown!
C25K W4D2 – Successon a threadmill, but I’m taking it!
C25K W4D2 – just go awayWHYYYYYYYYYYYY can’t I pass this… Going to try a different training session tomorrow, a 1,2,3,4,5,4,3,2,1 minute session. Run on the odd numbers and walk the evens. See how that goes.
Route Exploration – C25k W4D2 fail againThere’s a loop around the house I wanted to explore. Knew it would take longer than the 32 minutes of C25k but was going for it anyway!
Oh and I failed the C25k on the second run :'( I’ll get there, but damn its tough.
C25K – W4D2 – Fail again & againI nearly made it, but failed in the last two runs, first one with 30seconds left and last one with 90 seconds left. Next turn I think I’ll nail it!
