c25kI did the first run of week two this morning with the NHS podcast.
It was (unsurprisingly) harder than last week's runs, but I got through it. I think part of my issue is that I'm not very good at pacing myself. I could get away with just bursting off during the 60 second runs, but I have to actually pace myself for 90 second runs. All the same, I managed to finish the run. I thought I must have been slower than in my last run, but when I got home I worked out that I'd covered about 4.1km including the warm up and warm down, which is the same as run three of week 1.
I had to cross a couple of busy-ish roads for this run, which I found a bit arkward, particularly if it coincided with a running part of the podcast. This makes me think that I'd prefer routes that avoided roads, but I'll have to try different routes out and see.
