Couch25K Week 7 Run 1

Man, if you thought Week 7 would be a return to small runs, think AGAIN! Run 1 is 25 mins no-break running with 5 mins either side, warm-up and warm down! A repeat of Week 6 Run 3. As it happened, I enjoyed it yesterday (Tuesday). It was hard work and unlike Wk6R3, I was aware of each of Claire's 5-minute warnings so that's what made it harder. I've learned to breathe independently of my stride. This is a huge improvement from Week 1 when I tried to match my breathing to my stride. Maybe it works for some but not me. Bedford Park is beautiful and as I was a little late starting at about 0620hrs, I saw a few more folk. There are the folk that say hello/acknowledge you and there are those that don't. This used to bother me before but not any more. Either I say hello first or they say hello ... if they respond to my greeting, all well and good ... if they don't then they were preoccupied or just loners. No skin of my nose. This running thing is so addictive and I want more data. I've had a look at the Polar Personal Trainer website but I feel a little short-changed on the data from my Polar FT7. And after all the shenanigans with Polar Support, I'm going to try out the Garmin Forerunner 410, recently discontinued GPS watch available at lovely prices, and have a look at what the Garmin website offers. Meantime roll on tomorrow morning and Run 2!
