W1R1, no losses!

[SkiMonday]

So, my first C25K course is off to a good start.

One of the group said she wasn't comfortable after the warm up walk but I'd emphasized the need to keep the pace down during my initial talk and everyone completed all 8 runs with no apparent problems.

I figured that all running at the same easy pace was a good way to minimize any subsequent aches and pains so that's what we did.

Each minutes run seemed to be over in no time and I think some of the group were surprised when I announced that we'd completed all 8 runs. Hopefully, the course will continue in the same way.

Excellent, a good start indeed! Are you pointing them here ?

[SkiMonday Graduate in reply to linda9389]

Not yet! Thought I'd let them settle in for a while before mentioning the forum.

Good plan!

That sounds like a super start. It’s flipping hot out there though. Did everyone manage the heat ok?

[SkiMonday Graduate in reply to MissUnderstanding]

My jaw dropped when I checked the forecast for this evening.

I advised them to have plenty to drink this morning or to bring a drink with them. Think it helped that we were only doing short intervals at a leisurely pace.

Phew! Hopefully they’re all extra proud of themselves. Bring on some rain!
