Couch to 5k: Week 4

20/7/2013

0 Comments

 
I've been trundling my way through the C25K program, with varying levels of energy, over the last 4 weeks.  I had a bit of a hiccup last week; couldn't seem to prioritise my training (a.k.a. life got in the way).  But I realised that it's now only 6 weeks to the RunFest (gasp!  really?), so have been working hard this week to follow the training regime.

I'm getting to know my running style now.  I can feel which part of my foot hits the ground first (my normal bursts of gazelle-like springing: heel first; the shuffle I'm reduced to when running more than 100m: midfoot).  I've taken notice of my breathing pattern, which seems to have been influenced by this article on breathing technique, because today, without even thinking, I realised I was following a 3:4 pattern (in for 3 steps, out for 4).

Today I was up in the centre of the island, in the middle of gorgeous rolling farmland.  The weather was rather undecided, but I warmed up enough to cope with the cool breeze between the bursts of sunshine.

Half an hour of interval training, and only one car drove past.  Gotta love the peace and serenity of training on Flinders :-)
