Speed, oh my!

Well last night I downloaded the 'speed' follow on podcast as I was a bit short on time.

Interesting, fun, but my goodness hard work! Bless my legs though as they didn't even notice but my lungs sure felt it. I really enjoyed doing it though, just felt great after I got my breath back so plan on doing this one once a week now.

I love running :-D x

There are three separate podcasts in C25k+ stepping stones. Run them all regularly and they will really bring you on. Taking care to go steadily of course 🙂

Yeay! It is such such fun! Go you!!!!

One of my favourites! I use it still for a quickie, for fun and as part of longer runs .. wait until you get Stamina under your skin... I got really hooked for a while! :)

Speed is great, perfect for those times you want a shorter but intense run! Glad you enjoyed it ;)

Yes! I love a bit of speed too! Once I hammered so hard I was nearly sick! I keep a note of how far I've gone to see the improvement. Well done you!

Thanks misswobble Oldfloss RainbowC and Curlygurly2

I loved it! I really don't think I want to try the stamina one just yet but I'll never say never!

I've a garmin forrunner (early birthday present from hubby)that tracks my runs so that will be useful to see any improvement I hope. :D x x

I'm with you there! I like Speed, I've tackled Stepping Stone a couple of times. I have used Stamina purely as a slightly longer podcast, with no attempt at all to run to the beat! :) But I'm definitely getting slightly quicker, so it's all good... :)

Try stamina.... It kicks me in the butt - I think I've finished it once.
