C25K: Week 3, Day 3

Walking Training Log I had the most amazing workout tonight.  The funny thing is that when I walked in the door from work tonight I had no desire to do it.  My enthusiasm just wasn't there.  But I had to keep on the training schedule because there is a looming 5K in January that will be run.  So I quickly changed clothes and got to it immediately.  About midway through my first 90 second run and I had this surge of happiness that I had gotten out there and it energized me through the entire workout.  I worked on the breathing some more, trying to get the timing right and it powered me through the entire time.  I felt so strong tonight - like, I've GOT this.  It was awesome.  Week 4 starts on Saturday and all I have to say is "Bring It"!!!

In a previous post, Beth commented and asked where I got my information about breathing and what C25K training plan I would recommend.

Breathing - Running: A lot of great information can be found on About.com.  Search for whatever you are interested in and you can find a wealth of information at your finger tips.  I found the breathing technique there:  How Should I Breathe While Running.  About.com also has topical RSS feeds to which you can subscribe.

C25K:  I do the training plan at Cool Running.  They have an app for Android (and probably the iPhone too) that I also use.  The lovely woman tells me when to start running and when to stop.  That way I can concentrate on the breathing to fuel me through the workout.  It seemed the most sensible plan because it starts you off slower than others I've seen.

Today's playlist can be found @ last.fm.
