running again
Wednesday, January 5th, 2011 01:16 pmI've started the Couch to 5K programme again, after (a) plateauing at week 7 (b) Christmas (c) snow (d) flu.
Pleasantly surprised to find that, though I'm still a bit wobbly post-flu, I could do the week 1 interval set without cramps / wheezing / stomach pain / major coughing fits / difficulty. Presumably I'm starting from a better point, physically, than I did first time around. (I am now rather headachy despite rehydration.)
Running in the sunshine made me feel much more alive than I've felt for the past fortnight or so.
edit to add: Endomondo is so very cool: with the speed graph I can see distinct peaks for each of the 'running' intervals!
