Started the Magic Plan this morning!

I am very pleased with myself this morning. I spent my first three weeks post graduation from C25K pootling gently along for half an hour 3 times a week, and got my distance up from 3.6k on my final week 9 run to 3.8k on 25th August. In that 3.8k my fastest k was at 7.25mins.

Today for my first 15 minute run on the magic plan, and my first attempt at speed, I used the Introduction to Intervals in the beginners section of Runkeeper. Having never tried to go faster before, I tried hard, and on the first 4minute interval I achieved 6.13m/k, and on all the fast intervals I was under 7, so I have come home feeling I have achieved something. It is a relief, after falling over on Monday, and cutting Wednesday's run short because I still had some aches and pains.

Onwards and upwards! (But I am allowed to pootle along on the next two!)

Hi, sorry, probably a silly question, but where do you find the plan? I signed in but cannot find it and would like to go out running today! Cheers!

Well done, go you!

Pootle runs are my favourite! 😄

You've achieved loads and will continue to do so. Be proud of what you've done and where you are going. The plan is brilliant and you'll get there 👏👏
