C25K Week 2 round up

A crisp and clear winter morning captured by runner Martine Stimpson.

Well it was a beautiful morning for our second session so it was lovely to be out along the river. Unfortunately the cold brought ice on the road sections and meant parkrun was cancelled for safety. A good decision as it really was dangerously slippy on the lock.

Of course us C25Kers are made of tougher stuff so we carried on regardless, just staying in the meadow where it was a bit safer.

There was some mild chaos when some of the braver parkrunners, who had decided to run anyway, came hurtling past us on the river path. At one point I couldn't tell who was a C25ker and who was a parkrunner. Still we managed to negotiate the narrow footpath and continued off across the field where I confused everyone again by turning us around!

All of our runners did brilliantly again and there was plenty of chat to go with the running.

Feedback

We always welcome feedback so that we can make the sessions better for you, so if there is anything you are having trouble with or think could be improved, do let us know. Either on the day in person, or by email whenever you want. It is a bigger group than we had expected so we are learning too!

Session 2

As a reminder this is what we did:

• 5 minute brisk walking with swinging arms.
• (90s running + 2 minutes walking) x 6 (21 minutes).

Have you done your homework!

Session 3

Our next session will be:

• 5 minute brisk walking with swinging arms.
• (2 minutes running + 90s walk) + (3 minutes running + 3 minutes walking) x 2 (19 minutes)

The register

We will meet by 8:40 on Saturday. Don't forget to check in with us so we can keep a track of who is there for each session. If you think you may not have done that last week could you drop us a line. I just don't want to miss anyone!

Looking forward to seeing you Saturday!
