I’ve completed two runs since graduating on a Monday, both very different. I’ve decided to try a few different things to see what works.
My first run, I went completely free. I walked until my muscles felt warm, then ran roughly my usual distance on a familiar route, then walked home. I was slow. Very slow. I didn’t listen to any music, and although I had my Fitbit tracking, I didn’t use the pace updates.
Tonight, I used one of the C25K+ stepping stones podcasts. I find keeping in time easy - I danced a lot when I was younger - but felt a bit constrained. The walk was slower than I would usually do, and I had to focus a lot on lengthening my strides once jogging to keep with the pace. I didn’t hate it, but it felt a bit weird. I think I’ll give it another go before I make up my mind!
Here’s to maintaining and building on my fitness!
