2nd post graduation run and back outdoors again - phew! I did the 'stepping stones' podcast for the 2nd time and ran just 3.3k. What is going on? Even on the treadmill I ran over 4k. Maybe this was what IrishJohn calls a practice run 😀
Back on the canal towpath : 2nd post graduation... - Couch to 5K

Haha, no need to describe them as practice runs now you're a graduate. Every run is an achievement because you've gone out and done something, and the success lies in keeping the habit going and finding ways of enjoying it. I suppose there is an anti climax after graduation, but there's also an opportunity to try new things now you're fit enough.

They make your legs stronger. The varied tempo of the podcasts gets your legs guessing. Slow runs are leg builders. The podcasts are a mix of speeds so you get a proper workout. They prepare you well so keep doing em! Have fun!
