Week 4 begins

Tonight was the first run of week 4 of couch-to-5k, which consists of intervals as follows:

  • Jog 400m (or 3 minutes)
  • Walk 200m (or 90 seconds)
  • Jog 800m (or 5 minutes)
  • Walk 400m (or 2-1/2 minutes)
  • Jog 400m (or 3 minutes)
  • Walk 200m (or 90 seconds)
  • Jog 800m (or 5 minutes)
This run felt like a big shift from week 3's runs - it feels like I'm jogging most of the time interspersed with occasional walking, whereas the earlier runs felt the opposite. I'm feeling pretty good, notwithstanding that I did back-to-back running days.

Tomorrow I'll definitely be taking a rest. I've been told that week 4 is a bit of a turning point in the C25K program - a point where many people drop out. I'm not gonna do that. For some bizarre reason, I feel accountable to the (likely nonexistent) readers of this blog to keep going. Even if there isn't anybody reading this, it's still a motivator for me.
