Couch to 5k: Day Twenty Two
Posted in
Couch to 5k,
Running,
Me
Really this is days twenty two and twenty three rolled into one - there’s not a lot to say about the running at this stage! I’m now on to week 8 of the Couch to 5k plan. I really didn’t think I’d keep it up this long (said the Bishop to the Actress … da dum, tsschh) but am really happy to have done so. Plans rock.
Today, as for the other runs this week, I’m running 2.75 miles. I’m now fully on to distance rather than time - the point is to be running 5k after all. The runs are not getting much easier now, but they’re all doable. I can hold a conversation while running and recover reasonably quickly. My legs ache for a few hours, but that’s about it for the side-effects. At this point, I can see this being a habit I can keep up without too much trouble.

This whole fitness thing is a great idea - one stage at a time for me, I’m still just at the breathing exercises.

Impressive - you’re getting there. Not much weight loss probably either due to excessive eating post exercise or muscle replace fat - let’s hope it is the latter…

James: I’m only a few steps ahead. Actually, that’s what has amazed me the most about the Couch to 5k plan - how quickly I’ve been able to go from being basically sedentary to being able to go running regularly.
Carol: I don’t eat much after running - my usual breakfast of weetabix, and sometimes some toast. I run in the mornings though, so I would have thought that would be ok. I like to think it’s all muscle weight.

[…] been a couple of months since my last post, and that’s just poor blogging (as Sam pointed out). I’ve been meaning to start writing again, but … well, haven’t got […]
