C25k+ Speed....

[RuNananana]

I did the 'Stamina' podcast for my last run last week, and found it a good challenge: did the 'Speed' one today with the intervals, and really felt like I probably could have done a couple more intervals - I really was following along with the instructions and spm, so I'm pretty sure I was doing it right - has anyone else found that the "Speed" podcast is a little too easy? Gearing up for the Stepping Stones one Wednesday - I'm hearing that's not fun... What's been your experience/challenge?

Love Speed.... I, like many of us, add it into or onto other longer runs... I use it for a speedy 3K... Stamina.. brilliant...also used on its own, or added into other runs... but Stepping Stones. my least favourite... weird soft shoe shuffle type run

Well done you!

Thanks, ma homie

I love Stepping Stones, it's my 'go to' whenever I have a problem with running. Speed is a bit too short but as OldFloss has said good to incorporate into other runs or I use it hill training (run faster uphill, slower bits downhill) but Stamina ......I have never managed to complete that....

I really am curious now what it'll be like - stay tuned - I'll check back in Wednesday!

I like Stepping Stones and Stamina but haven't tried Speed for a while - I did find it a bit short when I tried it before. I'll give it another try soon.

[RuNananana Graduate in reply to Joy57]

it really surprised me how short it was... I might try to add a couple sets on next time...

I can't find these podcasts in the Apple Store, are they under this name exactly?

Thank you!

I found Speed a little frustrating as I couldn't keep in time with the music. Like you I felt it was a little too slow for me and I just couldn't coordinate my legs with the music. I have used it as a guide since, but just to tell me when to do the intervals rather than to keep in time with.

The only talent I have is being able to follow Laura's timing instruction! lol

If you are finding these runs a bit easy or you want an interval run with more intervals, try downloading the advanced guardian running podcasts. They are a bit longer.

[RuNananana Graduate in reply to agedsnailspace]

interesting - I'll have a look for them!

[Razouski in reply to agedsnailspace]

I might take a look at these too. Thanks
