Run 1: Couch to 5k
Alright, so I did it.
I did the first run but I didn't follow it exactly. Instead of doing 5 min walk in the beginning and end, with a 60 sec run and then a 90 sec walk interval in between, I did a ~10 min walk in the beginning and end, then a 60 sec walk then run interval. It just made it easier to track when I needed to change my pace. The 10 min walk was because it took me 10 min to get to the trail. If anything, that's better lol.
The next time I run, it'll have to be on the treadmill. I'm thinking the weekends will be outdoor days and the weekdays are inside.
Now, how did I feelllllll
Honestly, health and breathing wise, I felt pretty good. I mean, I wasn't running super fast, I was jogging. That's likely why it was easier. On a weirder note, I really needed to pee towards the end, is that normal? How the heck do marathon runners hold it in for so long?? wild.
I did, however, feel my shin splints coming in so that's not great. I'm thinking that might have to do with how old my shoes are so I probably should look into getting new ones. Or maybe my form is off, not sure. But I need to watch out for those cause shin splints are wackkkkk
Overall, I feel good. It wasn't taxing to the point that I hated it. But I do have concerns about my shin splints
RUN 1 COMPLETE!
