Week 3

Picked up a training programme from runners world website and they provide an eight week beginners programme. Week three consists of 3min run 1min walk sections repeated 6 times. I am following this pattern for this week. This requires an increase in my route length – I am now completing a 2mile circuit and it takes me around 25mins to complete.- progress has been steady and consistent though we were at Leeds festival Saturday so the Sunday morning run was never going to happen, shifted that to the Monday.

Bought a stopwatch and I like the rigid 3/1 running pattern as this will let me gauge progress better. Didn’t think I could be bothered running with a watch but it works quite well.

Iam not so worried about my leg pains there are no consistent areas for concern so will just keep going – depressed to find out I am actually overweight – when did that happen? - checked my BMI and this came out at 26.4 – on the cusp but this will help spur me with a target to achieve 'normal' weight.

Got to think about winter gear – apparently technical t shirts are what I need – WTF could possibly be technical about a t- shirt – I live and learn.
