Having tried a c25k+ run with Laura only once a long time ago I thought this morning I’d give it another go. My memory of the Stepping Stone run wasn’t particularly good, perhaps I tried it too soon after c25k.
I was really quite anxious about the run when I woke up, heaven knows why, I regularly run between 5k and 10k and do Parkrun every Saturday.
So after the warm up walk I set off with the lovely Laura telling me when to up the pace. It was quite nice running for a set time rather than distance and being told what to do ... the best bit being when she told me to slow down and walk for the final five minutes! My route was close to home where I’d started my c25k journey so it brought back fond memories of those early days. I say ‘fond’, it’s funny how your memory forgets just how hard it was during those early runs.
I’m glad I’ve revisited the 5k+ runs. I’m planning to join Laura again on the Speed one next week.
