Wow! When some of my inspirational supporters said 7 weeks ago that id be running in no time following the c25k, I remeber thinking yeah right then!
But today I started realising how much I can do this and how quick the last 7 weeks have gone and how much I’ve enjoyed them. Its a bit scary to think in 3 weeks time I’ll no longer have my coach in my ears to train me.
Off down the track I went following my usual route.
I have to be honest when I was told the first 5 minutes had gone, I was sure I’d been running for 20 🤣🤣 so I kept my steady snail pace and that half time bell ringing soom passed along to the last 5 minutes where I realised I felt quiet good, not overly out of breath. Maybe im not pushing myself enough?
It felt good to know I was in the last 60 seconds so much I decided to pick up pace and do a little sprint, plus I was going along the main road with home time traffic so it looked good!
So after reflection ive decided now all my runs are solid runs to try and pick up pace and improve distance etc. Just got to decide do I include my warm up and cool down walk or just start my watch at the run part for a more accurate pace? Decisions, decisions.
Treated myself, again today bought some new tikkaboo shorts ready to take to France inJune with my second 5k race just a week after I need to keep going with training whilst away! Looking forward to a few beach front runs.
