W10 R1, the journey continues

So I wake in my hotel room in Limerick, the gym opens at 7 am and I'm one of 2 queing up to get in, I sign in and head to the treadmill in the corner, I then realised I'd forgotten my water bottle but hay ho.

I set off on my warm up walk using W9's podcast just so I have the structure, etc, the warm up walk finishes and I'm off, the treadmill is in MPH again so I set it on a comfortable speed, higher than normal but comfortable.

20 minutes in I did slow a little but then at the 5 minute mark I picked it back up again, total distance 2.6 miles, Wednesday will be a normal speed run and when I'm home this weekend I'll give the outdoors another go I think.

Another 30 minute run under my belt, distance increased slightly, more work to do.

Nicely done Lee in Limerick... whoever knew people actually wanted to queue at 7am to get in a gym? not me.... :)

Lol, the sooner I transition to outdoor running the better (but Limerick was dull and wet this morning).

I'm just using the podcasts from here: nhs.uk/LiveWell/c25k/Pages/...

Next week I'll use possibly W1's pod cast for the interval run, just time myself with my own playlists for the shorter/faster run and for the longer 'stamina' run.
