Week 5 Run 2: wet, snails and noses

[CBDB]

Just a quick run report.

Got ready to go out early on, forgot one important thing that I found later still waiting on the bed: nose tissues! Doh!

So the first 10 min I could think of nothing else, but then the run and my Zombie world took over, and I didn’t think of my nose until back home stretching!

Not sunny, but magically wet and fresh. Zombies and snails were out as well!

Today on C25k, Zombies version:

* 5 min walking

* 5 min running

* Repeat 8 times (30sec walking, 1 min running, 6 heel lifts)

* 10min free form running

* 5 min stretching or walking

* 10 min free form running

Feels good and doable! I even tried walking backwards for a stretch during the walking sections, as I read it’s supposed to be good for you!

Happy running everyone!

Good to see you are running again. Its lovely after the rain when its been dry for a while, isn't it? Funnily enough today I was pondering whether running backwards would be good to offset the dominant leg. Didn't try it for fear of falling over though. 😄 But I was aware of leading with my right leg in time to the music I was listening to - so it was almost higher impact on that foot - depending on the song.

🤣🤣 yeah, I am also so bad at walking backwards.

Hubby athlete however, who has been running all his life until recently (calf injury), can run backwards. I can’t even watch that, as I can only think of falling backwards on my head!

So i think it also takes a lot of slow increases of distances for us forward-runners to feel at least a bit comfortable to just walk some meters backwards.

Thank you! (Getting back home to blow my nose was a relief, though 🤣🤣)
