Podrunner staircase to the Gods: did it, yay!

I don't know why, but I really struggled with this podcast recently. This morning was my 3rd attempt and I finally nailed it. Phew! Tell you what though, 170bpm is definitely outside my comfort zone!

I think on Friday I'll go for something more pleasant - 40 mins at 160 sounds about right :-)

I've just been having a go interval training. Just doing the C25K+ Speed. Which one are you doing? I'm finding Speed a little on the short side!

It's a Podrunner podcast, called Staircase to the Gods. (Got it through iTunes). You get 3 mins at 150bpm, 8 mins at 160bpm, 3 mins at 150, 8 mins at 165, 3 mins at 150, 8 mins at 170 and a final 3 mins at 150. Total 36 mins, which was about right for me.

Well that comment made me feel better about failing to complete the first 2 attempts :-) Thank you.

The shoes are brill and the dog remains unsalted - for now, at least.
