C1R1 - C25K+ Stepping Stone

[PhoenixRise]

Ok, so posting here before my run today really helped me to hold myself to account and kick myself out the front door!

Consolidation Week 1 Run 1 done!!!

I used the C25K+ Stepping Stone podcast and it was good to still have Laura pushing me on. Also really pleased the music included is much much better - even a bit of funky house!

Discovered a number of new things to ponder:

- I am not a fan of 150BPM running - feels too slow and this section felt like it would never end!

- Much more comfortable with 155BPM

- Living for 160BPM

I think it’s the ex-dancer in me but I really enjoyed matching my steps to the beat - this familiarity really helped me push through and (again) I am happy and surprised with my stats!

Thank you to everyone who responded to my morning moaning post - you all helped me to snap out of my head (for 32:43 minutes at least!).

Lovely bunch you are!

Great run and great stats 👍👍 will try this myself but wonder if the 160bpm will catch me out..🤔

Thanks!!! Give it a go - you may surprise yourself! I thought 160BPM would be too fast for me but turns out that I’ve been running at that pace the whole time!

I'll give it a go on Thursday 👍👍

Ooh sounds good. There are definately some songs that come onto my playlist that i find i run to the beat of so these podcasts sound the way to go. I sometimes find it harder to run slower as it feels out of rhythm. Excellent work
