moved up to week 2 of FC25K
I moved up to week 2 of the training sessions for the From Couch to 5K regimen. This afternoon, I jogged for 90 seconds followed by two minutes of brisk walking. This went on for 20 minutes and then I walked home from my "track" and stretched. I noticed that the side stitches are holding off until the end of the 20 minutes and even then it was manageable with some breathing adjustments. I'm still working on getting my breathing rhythm consistent. I'll knock out another one of the week 2 sessions on Wednesday afternoon.
second training session done
So I snuck out of the office a few hours early today since it was once again a beautiful February day and got in 9 holes of golf. I still suck, but it was worth it just to get outside. I walked, of course, and thats at least 3,000 yards. We'll call it 1.5 miles to be conservative. As soon as I got back, I put the leash on Boomer and went out for From Couch to 5K (henceforth known as FC25K) training session 2. Everything felt pretty good and I was again pulling Boomer by the end of the 20 minutes.
The weather isn't supposed to be as nice this weekend, but I'm going to try and move to week 2 of FC25K on Saturday or Sunday.
I got registered for the 5K on St. Pat's Day race this morning also!

from couch to 5k
I started training for the St. Patrick's Day 5K today. Here is this training regimen that I talked about earlier.
Sweet! But I don't have two months. I've got less than one. I think I can hack it though. I might just do two days of the weekly workout and then move up to the next weeks schedule for two more workouts. It should be interesting.
Tonight I found a nice gravel/dirt track that is around some sort of drainage field in my neighborhood. It looks to be close to a 400m track. I'm gonna try to drive my Jeep around it to get an estimate. I completed the first workout that included a 5 minute brisk walk. It actually took me about 7 to get over there. I then ran 60 seconds and walked 90, rinsed, and repeated for 20 minutes. By the end, I was pulling Boomer, but he is still a pup.
I'll go do that again on Thursday evening.
Our beginner's running schedule has helped thousands of new runners get off the couch and onto the roads, running 3 miles in just two months.

welcome to run.phast.org
I'm starting training today for the St. Patrick's Day 5k next month. I'm gonna try to run a few 5ks and possibly longer races to get started training for the Pikes Peak Ascent.I found some nice training regimens for getting ready for a 5k. I may fast track it a little bit with only a month to go and I've run a 5k before. I'll update this post later with training info.
