Week 2 - Day 1 of Couch 2 5k Running Program

Another Great Morning Run doing the C 2 5k Plan!

I am now in my second week of running. I can feel my body really responding to the extra time that has been added to each running interval. Just was I am getting close to the end of each interval I suddenly feel my body giving me a tiny bit more energy to sustain the run. That is cool. I used Suz's podcasts for the run as it had more modern and less electronic based music which I really enjoyed.

Her cueing was nice as well. I am looking forward to Thursday's run.

  • Calves
  • Abductors (inner thighs)

    This is supposed to be the end of the training, but I still felt like I could do more so I did 3 more running and walking intervals and felt like perhaps I could have done a bit more. On Thursday I plan to do the program 2 times.
