Podcasts developers, would it be possible for you to share text telling what is involved in each of the three 5K+ podcasts: Stamina, Speed and Stepping Stones,
Eg Duration (mins) / beats per min / speed (min/km) that each bpm equates to
for each of the different intervals.
I've tried playing them on my computer, but each time I am reading/writing blogs posts, etc, that I lose track of what Laura is telling us.
If anyone else has found this text could you please point me in the right direction.

Speed: 155bpm for 5 minutes, *165bpm for 60 seconds and 150bpm for 60 seconds* Repeat from * to * 5 times. Start and finish with usual brisk walks.
Stepping stones: 10 minutes at 150bpm, 15 minutes at 155bpm, 5 minutes at 160 bpm (bracketed by walks as usual).
Stamina: 158 bpm for 10 minutes, 160 bpm for 20 minutes and 165bpm for 5 minutes. Warm-up walks as before.
I find that I have to use short fast steps to reach the fastest speeds and I usually use the Speed podcasts because I like intervals. I haven't managed the stamina one yet!
I tried stepping stones for the first time tonight and loved it. It wasn't easy but felt great afterwards. I found my feet just kept to the beat without trying too much. I tried speed the other night. I felt it was quite short and that I hadn't worked out that hard afterwards (even added some 'normal' running on at the end). I'm looking forward to trying stamina next. Hopefully I can last for the 35 mins. I haven't tried beyond 30 yet. Good luck and let us know what you think of them.
