First Post-C25K Run

[BigLebowski]

My first run a week after completing C25K was a good, 30-min effort on the treadmill.

I cop to a mental slump the week following W9R3, part work fatigue (29 12-hr shifts in 35 days), part disbelief that I could do it. I just rested for a week but stuck to my keto eating plan, deviation from which has proven a major stumbling block in previous slumps.

I don't feel that I'm out of the water yet as I have yet to hit solid ground for 30 min again. I cannot rid myself of the notion that real running is done on the road, park, track and trail. For me, the treadmill is a bit of a substitute for the real thing, a way to retain fitness by getting the old ticker racing until the weather improves.

A run is a run wherever you do it. However if you have a hankering to run outside, why not give it a go? it is much more interesting and therefore more motivating. At this point I think you need discipline- no backsliding allowed!
