Week 4, Fourth run-through:
- 5 min Warmup
- 3 min run: Feeling good but not yet easy.
- 90 second walk
- 5 minute run: Ran the whole thing. It was ok, but not easy
- 2.5 minute walk
- 3 minute run: Not bad. I ran the whole thing.
- 90 second walk
- 5 minute run: Ugh. I ran 3.5-4 minutes of this and then walked the last minute. I’ll keep on keeping on.. I’ll aim to run all 5 minutes by the end of the week.. but I do think I’ll linger in this week for another week. I want this to feel somewhat easy before going onto week 5.
- 2.5 minute walk
- 5 minute cooldown
Our story so far:
Started on Monday January 31, 2011. I do C25K on Mon, Wed, Fri and walk/jog free-form the other days. My walk is at 3.0mph and run is at 4.0mph. I know it’s painfully slow.. but I figure I can be faster after I can do it for 30 minutes at a time.
Week 1 was fine, no problems. Did it 3 times.
Week 2 was ok. The last run was difficult but not hard. Did it 3 times.
Week 3 was hard but got easier over time. I did this for 6 weeks for a total of 18 times. In the end I’d says it was 80% easy.
Week 4: in progress
