I managed to complete C25K just before most businesses were allowed to reopen back in early April (21).
Working in hospitality I was only too aware that additional work load involved in the mandatory table service was going to interfere with my usual running routine. But I did manage to carry on doing at least one 30min run a week until the 12 May at which point I decided it would be better just to accept I was unlikely to get out for a run again until at least July 19th when normal service was resumed.
Instead of it being the 19th I finally manage to get out again yesterday. As it was such a long break I decided to try W3 again; I’m sure I could manage longer but having pushed myself too much at one point last year and had to take a break to recover I decided to build up slowly again. The 90sec runs shot by as did the 3 min runs (a bit different to the first time around). A major difference to my early runs last time was that I included a few climbs which I didn’t dare run until about week 7 or 8 first time around.
Today I can feel that my muscles have done more work than of late. But it is a pleasant feeling that they’ve done something rather than aches from doing too much.
I plan to finish W3, 4 & 5. Then hopefully I can go straight to W6R3 rather than back to the dreaded breaks again.
W5R2 - Back at it!
Back again! Reset and just move
When does it get easy?
Week 7 Complete: 1st Post on here though!
Took me 9 months instead of 9 weeks but I did it!!!!
