W5D2

Another day down! I still feel surprised at how much I am enjoying running! The first 4 minutes of running was a bit of a challenge, but after that I warmed up and felt great. I am unnervingly excited at the prospect of running for 20 mins on Friday!

It's strange how the C25K program makes me feel like I CAN run. I feel like I trust the program, and if it says I can run for 20 mins this Friday then I must be able to do it. This trust outweighs any self doubt... I hope the program doesn't let me down!

And an extra note, I used to always listen to Robert Ullery's podcast's during my C25K runs , but this week I have changed to the Podrunner Intervals First day to 5K . With a different run each day this week I liked the idea of a different podcast for each run. Sometimes I get a bit bored listening to the same track for all 3 of my runs so it's been nice to change things up a bit - I personally don't mind the techo/dance music in the Podrunner tracks, but some people hate it. I feel the podcasts are essential for me to complete the C25K because there is no way I could be bothered looking at my watch to time my runs. I love how the podcasts let me switch off and just follow the prompts to run and walk.
