My c25k restart

[mirandababes]

So, earlier this year I got up to week7 on c25k and then with new job and moving and everything (after taking a few weeks off for a dodgy knee) and the whole plan fell by the wayside.

Last Sunday I decided to see where I was at, so I did week 1 to see where I was at. And managed it really well.

Tuesday I did week2 run to see how that felt, and again, pretty good and starting to feel it a bit.

Tonight (thursday) I did week 3, and I had a big grin when I managed the first 3 min run.. felt so good to just be running and not so stop-start, and was well recovered after about 90secs so the 3 min walk good though. Did end up taking a wrong turn on my route (running in a new town, you are going to get lost!). I'm impressed I ran so well considering I had hardly any sleep the night before and two shifts back to back. I felt amazing after that run!

So I think I'll redo week 3 another 2times (dont want to get too cocky about it) and build up my stamina a bit more... or if i'm still in my comfort zone do I try week 4??

And trying not to eat like a horse at home this evening after work and running lol.

Well done on your runs, and also for coming back to it after having to take such a long break! Take it steady with the runs. The time will soon pass and your body will steadily build up its fitness again.

It's great you're back on the programme. Running round your new home town will be good for getting to know it really quickly, so a double benefit!

First of all well done! Second, I would complete week 3 "properly" if I were you. I'll tell you why. Like you I had to stop after an injury (see my blogs) and after 6 weeks I deliberately started from week 3 which I found ludicrously easy. But I'm glad I did it because weeks 3 and 4 built up my stamina properly. Now that I am on Week 5, it's just about right. I think I'd have flunked it if I'd pushed myself right away. Take it slowly miranda. The park and pavements are not going anywhere! Good luck!
