Last Thursday I did the third and final day of Week 1 of my Couch to 5K program. I was so excited because I'm feeling really good after my "runs." The last time I started this, I had to slow it way down and take longer walking intervals during the first week because of my asthma. However, this time I've been working out consistently leading up to the start of my training, so I had zero asthma issues last week.
Today I'm starting Week 2 which means a 5 minute warm up followed by 90 seconds of running and 2 minutes of walking for 20 minutes. I'll be doing this 3 days this week. Week 1 was 60 seconds running, 90 seconds walking.
I think more than anything, I'm excited to get to the point in my training when I'm running longer distances and time so I can start running with my 5K buddy, Kate. She's already able to run 2 miles, so I'm itching to be able to run outside with her so we can figure out what pace we need to run together and so I can get used to not using a treadmill.
Here's to Week 2!
