W6R3

GOOD MORNING PLAYMATES!! Sorry about shouting. But, as many of you are aware, the feeling of euphoria on completion of this run is very satisfying. Six weeks ago, it was a struggle to run for one minute let alone twenty five. And last week I had to stop after eighteen minutes into the twenty minute run due to calf injury. I was not really convinced I’d do this today.

Anyone coming up the ranks, believe you can!! Because you definitely can!!!

Stay safe and well everybody.

I definitely feel this is a big moment in C25K. The bridge section is over with all the various steps up in time, and 25 minutes feels very close to 30. We're nearly there!

Great, let’s just keep going.

I normally run on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Then have Saturday and Sunday off. But I’ve decided to try running every other day. That way I get 7 runs in 14 days instead of 6.

That's what I've been doing - barring twice when I've overdone it and needed to take a bit of extra time for recovery. Seems to work OK that way.

I've been wearing Vibrams for 8 years now. I've only got to use them for running this summer (with C25K).
