C25K Week 05 Day 01

Well, I’m at the halfway week of the C25K program and it is going well. Week 05 is a bit different in that each day has a different workout. Up until now you did the same workout for each of the days during a given week.
Week 05 Day 01 of the C25K program consists of a brisk five-minute warmup walk, then the following: Run 5 minutes, Walk 3 minutes, Run 5 minutes, walk 3 minutes, run 5 minutes and then a five minute cooldown walk.
I managed to do it reasonably comfortably. It was definitely easier than any of the week 04 runs for some reason. Maybe I’m getting fitter?
If you have a look at my 43 things list in the sidebar you’ll notice that one of them is to run 1 km. Technically I ran 2.4 km today but not all in a row. At the speed I was going I ran 3 stints of 800m. I’m really looking forward to Friday’s run as that involves running over a km at a time. I can mark another of my fitness goals as achieved!
That’s fantastic! It’s a great feeling when you run over 1km at a time; it’s a great goal to be able to knock off!
And man, I did a 3km run yesterday morning, in 25mins - have no idea how the heck I managed 19:24mins at the triathlon?! (Adrenalin! Whoop whoop!)

Got to love Adrenalin. Running 3 km is one of my goals too but I’ll knock off 1km first.

I was doing this too, and I stopped in November. It was pretty tough to get past week 3 or 4 for me. There were several times that I had to do a week over again cuz I couldn’t do the next one yet. I can’t wait to start it back up again! Great job!

Mary: It comes around surprisingly quickly.
Todd: Give it another go!
Thank you both for the encouragment.
