Well, after having to 'stall' my couch to 5km program that I was so enjoying (okay, I lie) to train, I have been doing just a nice running session on Thursday mornings each week. As you know... I am a crap runner. So, I have to ensure my iPod is loaded... thank god for Faithless Renaissance - Studio remix - which has their remix of such wonderfully funky (and long) versions of I feel Love by Donna Summer etc. Yes, I am old, but it keeps me going.
I decided to resume the couch to 5km as it is a real mind struggle for me to just jog..and jog..and jog... without my brain overriding everything and saying STOP! The iPod goes a long way in helping. Anyhow, I managed to do a 8minute run non stop, then a 6 minute run to finish with a 3min walk in between. Much better than my 6 minute run, then 4 minute run of last week, so I shall repeat this again next week, then increase both times again.
Aaah, I hear all you runners scoffing... but I would seriously prefer running up stairs, in soft sand and sprinting ...honest!!
About Me
- ms_attitude
- I have an addictive personality, where it's all or nothing - there is NO in between... I'm either really really good, or really really bad...moderation - what does that mean? I have always had a passion for fitness - but again, it's always been all or nothing but I've since learnt that life will pass me by if I don't just do it...I no longer put work before fitness or eating correctly. I work better because of it. I discovered Body for Life back in 1999, toyed with it, put it back on the shelf, then rediscovered it and put it back into practice in 2002. I am a qualified Personal Trainer - and have recently started my business in that area. I live with my husband (aka speed racer or mr snotty) and have a beautiful rhodesian ridgeback called Jemima. Oh, my name is Caroline!
