Had some minor knee aches yesterday and thought perhaps I shouldn’t do the 20min running block of wk5r3 today, but I couldn’t help myself. Will see if I pay for this. Think knee pain is related to failure to do knee exercises on weekend. Bad, bad elite athlete.
Found the longer block fine, though I worked a bit harder than I thought I would. Overall, I’m fitter than I was the first time I did this, but I have lost a lot of fitness since I finished c25k the first time

I am STILL running the same distance as during week 4.
The two long blocks were surprisingly unhard. I thought it was another ipod mistake, and took it as a challenge. It was nice to actually think ‘oo, this will be harder’ and then to push myself a bit. But I didn’t actually run very fast or very far, so I guess it wasn’t that big a deal.
But I’m looking forward to the rest of the week5 runs.

Nice. Week 5 reminds me that this is actually running, not a doodleoodle walk. It wasn’t as hard the first time, but my body made it clear that it’s not really as fit as it was.
I’ve been off the antihistamines for a couple of days and I reckon it’s making me feel less lethargic. Or at least the placebo is thoroughly on-track. :D
