So tomorrow I'm going to start the next step on the C25K thing.. the Gateway to 8K! :D I'm a bit excited. :) I did the C25K many years ago and still have it in me to go the 5k... so I thought time to move on and up. :)

Anyone want to join me? :)
The plan is here: http://runsource.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=73&Itemid=369
And the Podrunner Intervals are here: http://www.djsteveboy.com/gw28k.html

Are you running with me? :)

    C'mon C25K grads! :D I need some virtual running partners. Don't make me be a nigel no-friend and update progress in this thread alone! :p

    I'm a shameless bumper. I'm bumping this one because I'm about to go to bed which means lots of Americans are waking up and they might actually read this and feel inspired.
    Have a lovely Sunday, those who are just getting up :D

    Okay, I'm going to post my updates in here and pretend i have friends!

    Day one today, I put my runkeeper on as well as the podrunner, I did 40 minutes exactly, the last 7 minute stretch was a struggle but i got there! The 1 minute walks were enough to recover me. All in all, in the 40 minutes I went 5.11km :) Tomorrow I'm going to try and slow-jog a couple of the walks :)

    Another update - I've finished week 1... the 7 minutes on, 1 minute off really worked well for me today, I'm feeling less "blaaah" by the end of it! Bring on week 2 with the 8 minutes on, 1 minute off. :
