Week 5 R3

[oldperson47]

I did it, and one point I was thinking no... why am I doing this but kept going. I did pick a route with very few uphill slopes which meant my 5 mins at the end was spent going back up the hill. I think it was mentally harder than physically hard. What has been interesting is the effect of C25K on my heart rate. I did 20 mins with a heart rate no higher than 158. When I started C25K my heart rate was reaching 180 for the short runs. I am getting fitter which is what I wanted.

Congratulations on that milestone run.

The fitness benefits come thick and fast...........but keep your running nice and slow, because that is when maximum benefits will occur.........faster is not better.

Stay nice and slow for W6R1 which catches out more people than any other run in the programme.

Keep running, keep smiling.

Thank you, yes it was slow. I am concentrating on completion not speed.
