Couch to 5k : Week One Down

I am easily pleased! The stats from the Nike Website and the challenges you can sign up for are very cool. Seeing my graphs give me very cheap thrills but hey I like it. I feel like I am doing something as I cannot see it on my body i can see the stats on a site:)

Anyway almost finished Week1 of Robert Ullrey's Couch to 5k ....
Now from the last post I mentioned that I didn't know what pace or speed I should be going at. Was it to fast or slow.
I was doing 6km/h walks and 11.0km/h runs. Getting tired by the 6/8 run.

Anyway I happened to come across the http://www.c25k.com/ Kylie and Knobbie as well as others have been absolute diamonds. Their patient well explained advice was really helpful and when reading their developments I couldn't help think to myself "Hey thats me as well, I have that same problem" If you want to get into running and you have not done it before go to the site.... Get of this blog and get there now!

They knew where I was coming from and who am I to argue with experts! The people here rock

Going at roughly 5.5 KM/H Brisk walk
Running at about 8.5-9.5 KM/H running.
I am not wasted after the run slightly out of breath and muscles hurt slightly and within a few minutes I am ok for to continue.
No idea if i am going to slow or fast I know i won't do 5.0k in 30 minutes but i don't think thats the aim of the program it just about running! Cheers Knoddie and Kylie :)

Week 2 even though it increases my runs (thats sound so dodgy reading it back but you know what I mean) slightly I don't think I will achieve it . See what happens....
