Tiny steps of progress
Good start to the week - run straight from dropping son off at school. I can only do that on a Monday, but better than nothing.
I've been very poorly with an ear and throat infection which took me down the last 2 weeks. Still not 100%, but boy did the run feel good. Started C25k from the beginning. Loved it. I only like running in the Spring and Summer.
Stuck to keto so far (but it is only 10.30am).
Have a good week folks!

Finished week one of the C25K program. Running was hard today. My quads felt like cement. I was horrible about stretching pre and post run so I'm definitely making that a priority in week 2.
Hobby-Couch to 5k
I’ve decided to train for a 5k. It may be a bad idea since I am 200+ pounds, but something inside of me is pulling me towards running. I am using the app C25K and I completed day 2 of week 1. My hips are tight and running feels so foreign to my body. I used to do track and field in high school which was a long time ago, but I am now roughly 70 pounds heavier and haven’t ran outside on a road in years! Even though it feels extremely awkward I feel so accomplished at the end. Jogging for 1 minute straight 8 times in 30 minutes may be nothing to some people, but for me it is such a victory. I have to say another massive accomplishment is working out after work. My job is mentally and physically taxing and I’ve struggled with finding the energy to do anything after work. I am excited to see where I go with running.Â
C25K week 7 update
2021/03/14
I completed week 7 of the couch to 5k running program. (Check it out here: https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/couch-to-5k-week-by-week/)
Week 7 was 3 sessions of 25-minute runs. I am still really slow at this point, running only ca 2,2 kilometers per session. It is not a problem, though. I plan to continue running past week 9, perhaps adding a minute every week, so I am bound to reach 5k eventually.
The full instruction for week 8 says: "For the runs in Week 8, you will begin with a brisk 5-minute warm-up walk then 28 minutes of running. By now, you should be getting comfortable with the longer runs but you still need to concentrate on completing the 28 minutes without going too fast."
28 minutes feels long, but I think I can manage it. By now the program taught me I can manage a lot.
C25K week 6 update
2021/03/07
I completed week 6 of the couch to 5k running program. (Check it out here: https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/couch-to-5k-week-by-week/)
Week 6 was the last week with actual intervals in it and it was already hard enough. From now on, my trainings will be uniform runs of 25 minutes and more, up to 30 minutes in week 9. According to the NHS instructions, "for the runs in week 7, you will begin with a brisk 5-minute warm-up walk then 25 minutes of running". To which I say: oh, really?

C25K week 5 update
2021/02/28
I completed week 5 of the couch to 5k running program. (Check it out here: https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/couch-to-5k-week-by-week/)
Week 5 consisted in 3 very different workouts:
Run 1: 5 minutes running, 3 minutes walking, 5 minutes running, 3 minutes walking, 5 minutes running.
Run 2: 8 minutes running, 5 minutes walking, 8 minutes running.
Run 3: 20 minutes running, with no walking.
It was way too cold for warm-ups, so I skipped the walk as per usual. I did not expect to be able to run for 20 minutes non stop, but I did it! I think a large proportion of the success of this week is attributed to my running buddy, who keeps me entertained and happy throughout our sessions. J., if you're reading this, thank you. I don't know what I'd do without you.
Next week will be a scarier version of week 5. Warm-ups removed, the 3 runs look as follows:
Run 1: 5 minutes running, 3 minutes walking, 8 minutes running, 3 minutes walking, 5 minutes running.
Run 2: 10 minutes running, 3 minutes walking, 10 minutes running.
Run 3: 25 minutes with no walking.
If I don't fixate on distance and pace too much, I think I'll be able to make it. In February I did so many runs that I cannot even take a proper screen shot any more. I sure hope March will be the same!
I broke.my ankle last July and it's been a killer working from home. I made it back in November but shortly after Christmas lockdown again. I was jogging regularly and rowing before all this happened. Enough #whining and get back jogging. I've downloaded c25k plan to get back in the habit of being active.
C25K week 4 update
2021/02/21
I completed week 4 of the couch to 5k running program. (Check it out here: https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/couch-to-5k-week-by-week/)
Week 4 was three days of the following: 3 minutes of running, 90 seconds walking, 5 minutes running, 2:30 minutes walking, 3 minutes running, 90 seconds walking, 5 minutes running.
After hating week 3 as much as I did, I had no expectations of week 4 other than to complete it in a technically valid way. (As in, do not stop or drop dead during any of the running intervals.) However, week 4 proved to be quite enjoyable overall and I even managed to sprint a little in the end of my last session, despite being overspent.
This has also been my first week of running without music on. Admittedly, I ran much slower in my own perception, but the numbers don't seem to reflect it all that much. Instead, I started talking to my running buddy, on the phone and irl when he came back from his hike and joined me again. Without music running feels more leisurely, but I may still come back to my music player when I need that extra energy boost next week.
And let me tell you, next week will be wicked. There are three different workouts for week 5:
Run 1: brisk 5-minute warm-up walk, then 5 minutes running, 3 minutes walking, 5 minutes running, 3 minutes walking, 5 minutes running.
Run 2: brisk 5-minute warm-up walk, then 8 minutes running, 5 minutes walking, 8 minutes running.
Run 3: brisk 5-minute warm-up walk, then 20 minutes running, with no walking.
I will have to rethink skipping warm-ups afterall. This is madness! 20 minutes running, no walking! Keep your fingers crossed, my friends.
