... the biggest downside to C25K is I now have this song going round in my head and I keep singing it ...no one told me running would affect me like this ... HELP!!!

Just completed W6R1

[greenlegs Graduate]

Well done on the run.

Sorry, can't help with the song! Just wait till you get to the Julie one. I can't remember which week it is, but that's really something to look forward to.

[amsjo Graduate in reply to greenlegs]

I think it comes up in week 6 from what the others have said... cannot wait

How is it being a graduate now?

[WepreRunner Graduate in reply to amsjo]

Thanks a bunch! Just as 'I've had enough of you and Julie' had stopped playing in my brain 24/7!

I was even hearing it on Bridge to 10k, when I'd left my iPod at home in shame

[greenlegs Graduate in reply to amsjo]

Thanks for asking. Being a graduate is just t*he best*! I have enjoyed every run since my grad run - I'm loving varying what I do. Today's was a short one, only 18 minutes, but with bursts of as fast as I could manage (my usual pace is around 6kph, but I managed to get up to the dizzying heights of 9kph for up to a minute - woo!), but then needed to walk for a bit to avoid collapsing.

So maybe that's the power of those weird week 6 mixed run/walk sessions - realising that putting a bit of walking in can enable a greater total distance or greater speed. Overall, I went faster today, even though some of it was walking. Interesting! Good fun too. And my calf is fine today, after being a bit achey yesterday.

And I don't listen to music any more - I like hearing what's going on around me.

Oh no, it's in mine now, oh saved by Bowie track on radio, phew

[Malcy Graduate]

I sometimes replay week 1 just to hear that song. It might be sad, but I just love it.

I'll leave now ...

[amsjo Graduate in reply to Malcy]

it's in week 6 run 1 again so you can do that one too

[TX-Bluebonnet Graduate]

I love running to that song! I can't quite tell from your comment if you like it or not, but just so you know, it also appears in R2 and R3 of Week 6.

[amsjo Graduate in reply to TX-Bluebonnet]

bit of a love hate thing ... I just keep bursting out with it

[gdeann Graduate]

There was music to the podcast? I must of been delirious from lack of oxygen. All I can remember hearing was my own heart beating up in my head and my huffing and puffing!! Gayle

[amsjo Graduate in reply to gdeann]

..maybe the lack of oxygen made me hear strange songs
