Random Geekage » running http://kevinisageek.org Randomness, geekery and whatever else I feel like Wed, 08 Sep 2010 21:59:00 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 c25k Edit: and another link added http://kevinisageek.org/2009/06/07/c25k/ http://kevinisageek.org/2009/06/07/c25k/#comments Sun, 07 Jun 2009 10:48:12 +0000 Kevin http://kevinisageek.org/?p=549 A couple weeks ago I found out about c25k, or couch to 5k. I had been meaning to try it but in my usual lazy fashion I didn’t.

Until now. Just did the first part of week 1, alternating running and jogging for 60 and 90 seconds respectively. Not really a massive workout but for a lazy git like me it is more than enough to get the heart going.

Along with the program I am using Podrunner: Intervals which is a set of mixes of some form of electronic/house music with different BPMs for the different parts. Not my ideal music by a long shot but it seems to suit running (wonder how running to Patient Zero’s Rocketballs would work…)

Last time I went for a run, my lungs burned. This time, it is my ankles that hurt. Pain is going down now though. I think it is due to me being on my toes for the running which is something my body is not used to.

Want to get the fivefingers as soon as I can, ditch the trainers that are dying on me.

Damn I feel good.

Lungs hurt. I don’t think they like the winter air.

Didn’t run much, just did 3 circuits of the local park, but its a start. The key is to keep it up.
