Training: Wrapping Up C25k

 I’ve made it to the final week of my couch to 5k, program, well, at least my version of it. I did weeks 1-3, then got sick for a month, then jumped back in to do weeks 4-6ish. But once I hit that, it was an easy transition 3-4 mile runs, so that’s that! Hoping I didn’t rush the build back, but I’m excited to transition to my 8 week base building plan, which will take me from a long run of 4 miles to a long run of 10 miles in 8 weeks. 

Here’s this week’s training for the last 3 weeks::

Does it possibly feel like a steep jump? Yes. But a lot of it was walking heavy, and I’m really hoping that my body DOES remember how to do this, after all. 

Here’s some highlights:

I’m finishing the week sore in a great way, and having also fit in some strength training and yoga. 

The plan going forward is to use next week as a recovery week, doing less mileage but changing from 4 to 5 days a week of activity, and then see what I want to do from there. My biggest concern is trying to do too much too soon, since I’m just so happy to be back running again so I’m trying to be cautious. 

Check out that fitness progression! 

I’ve got a big hole to climb out of, but plenty of time to do it.
