NHS Couch to 5k Week 7

NHS Couch to 5k   Week 7


This week consisted of One run of 25 minutes, 3 times a week.

Why did I complain about Wk 6??  I'm beginning to sound like Eeyore, from Winnie the Pooh.  He's not renowned for his optimism or cheery manner.  One complaint  I had is that the music is terrible.  It reminds me of a cheesy 1980's show.

The first run seemed to go on forever especially the first and last 5 minutes.  It was pretty difficult to finish it.

The second and third run I decided to abandon the podcast.  Instead I used an interval timer for 25 minutes, and put on Cabin Pressure, a BBC Radio 4 comedy.  That was a great idea because it made me laugh.  It took my mind off the running because it was a slog to finish.

I'm disappointed that my speed hasn't improved.  I still struggle at the start.  Maybe that's normal and okay.  I just have to accept that it is okay to be slow.  One good thing is no injuries since I started running.  All the stretching after the runs must be helping.  Onward to Week 8,  2 more weeks to go..
