Hooray! The end of Week 4. Today marks the halfway point of the training stage of the Couch to 5k plan. The first run of week nine is the first 5k run - not long now.

My running partner joined me on my route today and seemed to enjoy herself - it’s a nice area to run in though. Very peaceful (and only a little hilly). One side-effect of that was the change in pace. I found it harder to get into my usual running rhythm, which meant that by the end my legs were complaining a little more than usual.

However, we both finished - we ran and walked around 2.2 miles in around 22 minutes - not a bad distance for the time. That bodes well for a 10-minute mile time for the 5k.
