I've been doing Couch-to-5K running plan so I can do the Mothers' Day 4K run on 9th May.
15/03/2010 MON Week 4 Day 1
Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then:
* Jog 3 minutes
* Walk90 seconds
* Jog 5 minutes
* Walk 2.5 minutes
* Jog 3 minutes
* Walk 90 seconds
* Jog 5 minutes
And then five minute walk to cool down.
It was hard, especially the last 5mins. Also, my 5 minute jogs are so slow that some of the people walking around the park are at the same speed maybe even faster. And now I'm red like a tomato, but it means that I ran a total of 16 minutes! Pretty good considering I could only jog for 1 minute just a few weeks ago.
Does anyone have advice about running stride?
Also, any pre/post meal advice?
