Hi all. First of all, sorry for being a stranger to this forum these last 6 months. We had a wonderful season for skiing here in Switzerland, but of course that made running pretty difficult, with snow right down to the valley floor all winter.
Having graduated C25K last July, and with Juju's B210k plan getting me regularly running 10k last autumn, I naturally wanted to get back to running this spring. But where to start? I decided the safest thing to do was to start C25K all over again. I confess I found the weight loss quite addictive last year (was 100+kg, now 80kg) and although I haven’t put much of it back on over the winter, it would be lovely to lose a bit more. I love my waist 32 jeans!
Anyhow, I completed C25K again last month, did my 5k consolidation, and now I'm here on the bridge again, using a slightly modified version of Juju's plan.
I'm trying hard not to raise my training load by too much, so I only increase my weekly total by 1km a week.
Chapeau to all the runners who kept going all winter, and good luck to everyone this summer. I usually include a pic with the nonsense I post on here, so here's me on the infamous Lauberhorn World Cup downhill course just above our village (having a breather), me again toiling away doing C25K once the snow had melted, and Mrs t_m on my normal running path in our snowy valley.
