Have done my first go of Couch to 5K: already bored of Coleridge recreation ground. I've been meaning to start this programme for some time -- I miss being fit -- but running was out of the question while ear problems made my balance so dodgy. Today I finally stopped putting it off, found an outfit that works (sports bra plus one-size-too-small support top) and just did it. Go me. (Round and round and round.)

I used the Podrunner intervals podcast as Instruction Manual, and found it good. The music (which is trancy and heavy on the beat: no verbal stuff apart from the 2-minute spiel at the start) was just right, not distracting and not unpleasant, and the 'change pace' cues were clear.

It was not as hard as I expected, but I do like the idea that Real Soon Now that kind of exercise will be easy.
