My Couch-to-5k (C25K) Training Plan

As I mentioned in my previous post, I changed to the C25K training plan. This is how I laid it out starting with week 3 of C25K.

All of these workouts have a five minute walk as warm-up before and a five minute walk as cool-down after.

Benefits of My Running

Last week, I registered for my first half-marathon of the Condura Skyway Marathon that will be held on Feb. 6, 2011. I went to Greenbelt 3 with my children. When one of my sons saw that the race kit said "21K", he exclaimed, "You're already going to run a half-marathon?!" I said "Yes." and waited for his next question, which was the question he asked when I told him that I was planning to join a 5K race, "Do you want to die?!" But no. He asked instead, "Can I have the 'dri-fit' shirt?" I then realized that this boy has also been benefiting from my running. He has been getting my race singlets and shirts (because they don't fit me). His favorite is the Mizuno Infinity Run finisher's shirt which he always uses when he runs. He also got my Nike Free Everyday 2 and Asics GT2130 running shoes. On the way out of Greenbelt 3, he asked for the free Hershey's chocolate bar. He's not getting the Coors Light. Tha

Milestone! 1st 10K All Run, No Walk Breaks! Takbo.ph Runfest 2010

Yesterday's race at the Takbo.ph Runfest 2010 was a milestone for me. I ran my 10K race all the way from start to finish. It was my 7th 10K since I started running last Dec. '09. The previous 6 were all Galloway method run-walk-run affairs. The following are the things I thought helped me achieve this: The weather was nice and cool The course was relatively flat Water stations were excellent. They provided Powerade - my favorite. A teenager (Sid) decided to run alongside me a little after 6 km. We ran side-by-side until the finish line. I now run continuously for 45 minutes to an hour, although even slower now than when I was doing run-walk-run. I'm doing low heart rate training . I wonder what I'll be able to do next ...
