And here goes week 2!

2 Replies

I couldn't wait to start week two. I was still so excited from the good finish of week 1, I basically jumped into my trainers today.

The additional 30 seconds weren't too hard. I have to concentrate on the music and not on trying to guess when the time's up and I'm fine. I went a whole lot further than on the other runs and did a whole 4,6 kms!

Only trouble was that I miscalculated the time and ended up doing one run to many in one direction. This way I was already in the warmdown-walk when I was still in the middle of the woods and a 10minute walk away from home. But I was feeling good and put in another 60 second (okay, approx.) run during the warmdown-time on the podcast. By the time I got to the actual warmdown the podcast had finished and I was listening to Mika instead.

I did 40 minutes instead of 30, but it was good! I think I need to find new route though. It's getting a bit boring....

And if I would have listened to mapmyrun I would have done 10 kms. I have no idea what that thing tracked, but it certainly wasn't ME! lol.

Good for you, sounds like you've caught the running bug already!

I would recommend mixing up your route every couple weeks or it does get repetitive.

Or the running bug clearly bit me! I'm looking for other routes already. This way I'm (re)discovering my village!
