Week 1:
5 minutes warm up
60 seconds run and 90 seconds walk (repeat for 20 minutes)
5 minutes cool down
I'm going to post a screenshot of my stats tracker for each run, hopefully I'll see improvements!
Run 1:
I really do not like running. All the time I was running I was trying to come up with ways I could never run again and not look like I was giving up..I couldn't think of any..
Once I was done and walking home I felt more positive. I was glad I'd done it, as you can see by the stats tracker I didn't exactly give a good performance but I did it. For a lot of people running for 60 seconds at a time 8 times is nothing and to them I say "Good on you". But I haven't run properly in years so I'm just going to take it one step at a time and I'll get there. Right?
Run 2:
Day 2 wasn't much better than day 1, the only bonus was this time I had company. My sister Becky decided to join in the "fun" and come running with me. I think by the end of it she regretted it as much as I did. I didn't feel any better or worse than day 1 until the last minute run, I found a little extra energy to run that little bit faster at the end!
Run 3:
Today was awful. There was a lot of angry words on this run, at one point Becky (who came with me again despite hating day 2) actually told me to F off! For the majority of the run we were running into the wind which made things much harder but you know what? We finished it, and keeping going is the main thing!
On a side note I have truly come to hate the voice in my ear that tells me when to run and walk, but it does help to have someone to channel my anger towards!!!
So to sum up: week 1 was hard work but I did it. Here's hoping I can kick week 2's bum!
Wish me luck!
