Thanks for the ideas and suggestions... I downloaded the NRC first speed run to do this morning and loved it! In a past running life I did the c25k speed run quite a lot but really enjoyed this NRC one. I did my 5 minute walk, then the warm up 5 minute jog before starting the intervals. I LOVED them!! The recommendation to feel like I was running strong was great, I could get a real sense of what that meant. And as for that cheeky last 30 seconds.. that was so much fun 😁 I finished with a super slow 5 minute jog and 5 minute walk.
My new updated consolidation plan is to include one of these every 3rd run and to look into some more of your great suggestions
