@jamie Yeah I remember there being a point in the C25K program where the difficulty ramped up quite a bit. Keep it up though!

@therealahall Yeah already looked ahead at next week. The last one out of the three is just a 20 minute run.

@jamie Oof. It’s like that how to draw an owl meme. Draw a circle, now draw an owl.

@alex @therealahall What happens under 60?
-
@jamie Nice to see the change!

@alex @therealahall What happens under 60?
@jamie @therealahall time slows down.

@alex @therealahall Oh I welcome that then. I prefer feeling cold to hot.

Well, I had my first setback on my #CouchTo5K.
Today was supposed to be Week 5 Run 3, which is a 20 minute run. In the first couple of minutes I felt a lot of tightness and pain in my right calf (cramp maybe), so I slowed down to a walk. I was going to pack it in, but it loosened up again so I pushed on and started over. I had to take a couple of walk breaks in the middle, so I think I’m going to keep trying this session again every 2/3 days until I can nail it.
Still decent today though. Probably did about 18 minutes of running in total, with about 4 minutes of walking, so not all bad. It’s really stepped up a gear this week so just got to keep pushing myself!
