Hi All, this morning i've decided to try out C25K + stepping stones podcast.
I really enjoyed Laura guiding me through the new pace, the 30min run is divided into 3 sections with individual speed thresholds each & I have to say I've lived a sheltered life so far!π The first & slowest of the new pace was already almost twice as fast as my normal running/jogging speed so there was a lot of huffing and puffing in the first 10min! I did have to make some walking breaks in between but managed to finish the run with a smile! And even though ive not managed to run the whole distance, its definitely something to work on and look forward to building my stamina! Great to have a solid goal in mind so will focus on that for next few runs now! Excited to work towards sth new now! Happy running Everyone!πββοΈπββοΈπββοΈ

Well done on doing Stepping Stones! I think that podcast together with Speed and Stamina are really quite tricky for a newby runner. I attempted them soon after graduation and struggled with them, which was a bit disheartening. So I decided to consolidate by just doing 3 x 30 min runs each week for a few weeks. I've since been back to them and noticed that I'm much stronger and a tad faster and enjoyed them a lot more. So for me any way they are something to dip into now and again. I now use the Nike Run Club guided runs which are in my opinion superb and perfect for motivation! Happy running πββοΈππ₯
Thank you for your message Blossom! I agree that it was more intense that I anticipated! I will try to incorporate those new speeds in my run and see if Im making any progress, otherwise NRC it is!Happy running to you tooπ
Thank you Curlygurly2 for encouragement! Hopefully tomorrow's run is easier as i know what to expect now, will give it a try and can always switch to NRC or just listen to music and run 30min, its just nice to still have a coach in your ear!π
Hi NusiaFab, well done on trying out the stepping stones podcast. Itβs not one Iβve looked at so will definitely take a peek! I totally hear you about a solid goal π₯ . That and just getting out the front door π! Keep up the brilliant work πππΌπββοΈ.
