Week 5 complete!


Well I did my 2 mile run last night and it felt really good, even though the last half a mile felt really tough. It was really cold, literally freezing! and my legs began to ache towards the end. But that is best part of it when your body is finding it tough but you`re still pushing yourself.
I`ve completed week 5 of the 'c25k' plan, though I`ve tweaked it a little doing my runs every other day instead of 3 times a week. I will do this until my body tells me otherwise. So week 6 starts tomorrow and were now up to 2.25 miles and I`m feeling good for this training.
One thing that I do need to do is get back to getting to bed before midnight, I used to go bed about 11 and read a little. I think I`ll try and do my run at about 8 tomorrow morning, that may help. Week 6 of the 'c25k' is as follows -
Week 6
Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then: - Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes) - Walk 1/4 mile (or 3 minutes) - Jog 3/4 mile (or 8 minutes) - Walk 1/4 mile (or 3 minutes) - Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes)
Rest day.
Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then: - Jog 1 mile (or 10 minutes) - Walk 1/4 mile (or 3 minutes) - Jog 1 mile (or 10 minutes)
Rest day.
Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then jog 2-1/4 miles (or 23 minutes) with no walking.
Rest day.
Rest day
I also need to tidy up indoors, both upstairs and downstairs.
Last night our team had a pool match which we drew 5-5, the match was played in a good spirit nad was very enjoyable. We led 5-3 but couldn`t close the deal. I lost one of the last 2 games myself(though I did win my other game).
Ive just found this and needed to share it with you all -http://www.krispykremechallenge.com/index.html
