Halfway point

[eveshamgal]

No not of the programme, still only on week 2 lol

I run from my home and usually want to end up back there as well lol. It would be good if the podcasts had a marker for when you hit the halfway point so you know to turn Round.

I know a solution would be to get a watch but I've got fat wrists grrrr

I know what you mean, it would be handy. I've managed to instinctively know roughly where halfway is now though, as I keep to the same route each time (roughly) - but a half way point announced by the luscious Laura would indeed be a bonus!

Yup! I found as you get further into it with solid blocks of running it's easier to predict and plan your route but in the early run/walk weeks it's a bit haphazzard.

Without giving the game away for those of you that don't look ahead to see what runs are in next week's podcasts.

Week 1 has 8 equal length runs. So walk out, run 4 runs, turn around and run 4 runs back, cool down walk.

Week 2 is 6 equal length runs. Walk, 3 runs, turn around and 3 runs, walk to home.

Week 3 has 4 unequal runs, it goes short, long, short, long. So walk, 2 x runs, I'd do the next walk going outwards as well, turn around 2 x runs and a walk home.

Week 4 is the same as week 3, so 2 runs out, 2 back.

Week 5 has 3 different runs. Run 1 is 3 runs, either do 2 going outward and one back towards home, or I have a feeling Laura tells you when you're halfway through the second run, but don't take that as gospel as I may be wrong.

Run 2 is 2 runs, so turn around during your recovery walk.

Run 3, Laura will tell you when you're halfway through the podcast.

Week 6, again, 3 different runs. R1, 3 unequal length runs, though again I think Laura will tell you when you're halfway through the second run.

R2, 2 runs, turn around during the recovery walk.

R3, Laura will let you know.

Weeks 7 to 9, you'll get updates which will let you know where you are.

The programme is here if you're interested.... nhs.uk/Livewell/c25k/Pages/...

I hope that helps.

If you've got a smartphone, download the Run Double app. The nice man on there always tells me when I'm halfway (although he does do it in a voice that sounds like it should be instructing me to enter the nearest nuclear fallout shelter).
