Couch to 5k, Week 2

c25k  -  Week 2,   Run 2+ 3


For the second run I tried the field again. It has good views and the field is pretty flat.  I'm getting used to the longer run now, it's only 90seconds but still.  Still have to get my breathing under control.  I'm taking big gulps of air throughout and kind of mouth breathing.  It's very attractive.

Run 3 happened before dinner.  Glad I did it before dinner as I'm not sure willpower would've got me off the couch that evening.  My knee was a little stiff from the last run but, when I started running there was no pain.

The length of the runs are getting easier.  The first 2 intervals are normally my slowest; then I pick up the pace afterwards.  Maybe I need a longer warm up, 5 mins does not seem enough to get my old bones warm.  I'm feeling pretty happy about starting the Couch to 5k.  There seems to be a plethora of runners the last few years, maybe I will join their ranks.
