B210k: wk1, run3

distance: 6.53 km, time: 00:53 08:06, calories: 688, effort: 5/5
The running is still hard, but not as hard as Wednesday. Had seriously tight calves/hamms though, so I had to spend my first two 1min walking intervals stretching. Dunno if I’ll be able to hack the jump to week 2’s longer intervals. We’ll see.
The stupid B210k app is SCREWED and restarted my third run again. So I ended up running further than planned (by about 5minutes) in that section again.

c25k: wk9, run3

distance: 4.51 km, time: 00:40, pace: 08:52, calories: 519, effort: 4/5
The streets were really empty and it was strange running without an audience.
I feel really good, and I even managed to pick up my speed a bit in the last few minutes to get back to my starting place. Now I need to work on getting my time down – I do just under 1k walking to cool up and down, so I really need to get my running speed up to get to 5k in 30minutes.
cloudy

c25k: wk8, run3

distance: 4.4 km, time: 00:38, pace: 08:38, calories: 493, effort: 5/5, feeling: not too good
Had to walk at about the 20min mark, then ran then had to walk, then ran, then finally just had to walk home. Woke up feeling tiiiired in my body and found the (quite hilly) new route really hard. Feel so rough after the run I suspect some sort of cold in my future. :(
But at least I got in 20mins of running and went the whole distance – I couldn’t have done that 3 weeks ago. I’ll repeat run2 of week8 next, then have another go at run3.
cloudy, hot

c25k, wk8, run2

distance: 4.88 km, time: 00:38, pace: 07:47, calories: 493, effort: 5/5
Cool weather, but very cloudy and with some sprinkly rain. Not enough birds. Running was about the same level as hardness, though the transition to the hillier route has required more effort in parts. Very tired afterwards, probably because I didn’t go to bed early enough. :D
cloudy, humid, overcast
