"The trouble with jogging is that by the time you realize you're not in shape for it, it's too far to walk back." -Franklin Jones
I have never been a runner. Lets get that clear from the start. Attempting the (*1 mile run) at school has never left me. Granted I walked the entire mile and got detention for it. My bad! The only memories of P.E. class that I can recall seem to involve endless running around the all-weather pitch in the rain. Ah, memories.
I have decided to start this couch to 5k challenge, http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/c25k/Pages/couch-to-5k.aspx. It's a free programme from the NHS, with the aim of getting you to run a 5k in just 9 weeks. Fingers crossed.
The first week consists of 3 runs on non-consecutive days. You start with a 5-minute brisk warm-up walk, then 60 second jog/run, 90 second brisk walk. The aim is to run 8mins in total. The podcast narrator is Laura who will guide you through the lesson.
Lets do this..
