I'll still on track to move from Couch Potato to running 5K by the end of the program. This is week six (nine weeks total). I'm still running, and now that I'm not trying to stretch out before I run, I'm not having calf pains. I've reached the stage now where instead of running the same intervals three days a week, each day I'm running longer at one time, so that on the third day once I've done the initial 5 minute warm up walk I just run. It felt like quite a stretch to go from two 8 minute runs separated by a five minute walk on the second day to a 20 minute run on the third day, even though it's really only four more minutes.
And technically, I suppose, I failed. I had to take a couple of 30-second breathers during the run, slowing to a walk for half a minute before forcing myself to continue. No doubt if I were in the military a drill instructor would have been in my face telling what a pansy ass I am. But I'm not. So I'm gonna call it good and start the sixth week routine after work tonight.
Yes, I run at the end of the day rather than in the morning, though I have gone running after getting up on Saturday a couple of times. Of course, that was after I got up at 11 a.m. But get up early to go running? Surely you jest!
