Day 1 (Sat 19/5) - DONE
Day 2 (Mon 21/5) - DONE
Day 3 (Wed 23/5) - DONE
I started the C25km on Saturday and it was such a buzz. The recovery was intense and headache-y for the first day but eased off with the second and third day. I'm in for the challenge now. I nearly gave up on the first and second run but that's when Robert said it'll be my last 60 secs. I couldn't give up, I was nearly finished! My yogic breathing came in handy too.
There’s definitely a psychological barrier I have to work through rather than a physical one with running. The past couple of years of power walking, cycling, weights and yoga has helped me get to this point. I’m also fitter than I realised because there was no dragon breathing or loss of breathe. Let’s see how Week 2 treats me though when I’m running for a longer interval time.
So far so good:
- feel so re-energised after each run
- detoxifying
- recovery becoming quicker after each run
- left shoulder a little twangy when running
- inner top thighs, a new muscle sensation!
- overall, feel amazing
I never in my wildest dreams thought I could run and I know it’s only been Week 1 but I think this plan is a good one for me. I couldn’t do it without the daggy podcast either. It helps keep it fun, even if it does remind me of dancing in dodgy clubs at 3am.

what the heck are you doing with your blog?! i getting dizzy - LOL
props to you for getting week 1 done. i think it sounds like this is perfect timing for you to mix it up with the running.
great work!
Well done Mary - 1 down 8 to go.
Wow - well if you take to running with the same dedication and passion as you did for yoga then look out!
I really admire natural-born runners - not being one of them!
sometimes all a girl needs is a little dodgy dance, well done you :)
Nice going. It only gets easier... ha ha ha.
I still have psychological barriers when I'm running. It's a constant mental battle.
can't we just call it Mary bites?
well done on the running!
I agree with you the hardest thing is the psychological barrier with running!
At least you remember dancing in dodgy clubs at 3am - personally I have no recollection that i've EVER done that. (tee hee). I have downloaded the podcast for this too, just haven't organised myself to start yet. It's my dream to run though.
