Session 1 - 46 min. Run 3 minutes. Walk 1 minute. Do this 9 times.
A quick reminder - in order to encourage me to do this I am seeking sponsorship, with funds going to the Abortion Support Network, who provide grants for Irish women to access abortions in England. I am supporting them because women without access to safe, legal abortions get seriously hurt or die (the Dirty Dancing film portrays this quite well), and I do not believe it is ethical to force women to carry babies they don't want.
On to the run report..
I was quite apprehensive about this as it seems a round of running for 3 mins/walking for 1 min, repeating 9 times seems awful difficult. As turned out, it wasn't too difficult. I have renewed faith in this running programme. But oh jeez I am bloody knackered now.
The 1 minute walks felt like brief momentary respites, but worked well enough. I got a bit of a stitch at about 28 and a half minutes, which may or may not have had something to do with the fact I was running up a slight incline at the time. I emphasise slight. I live in the flatlands. It's pathetic. Me that is, not the scenery.
I feel very calm about the next two sessions for this week. I think I'll do session 2 by running home from work. I feel in control and like I could actually manage to run for 5 minutes at a go this time next week. Isn't enthusiasm a wonderful thing? I wonder how long my enthusiasm will last...!!!
