One of the other things I am doing besides just cycling is running when I can. I figured that I would try and do the Couch to 5K program and see how if it would work. I am running this currently in a pair of Vibram Five Finger KSOs that I purchased years ago when they first came out.
So far it has been good. I really have enjoyed the first two run/walk sessions. It is just enough that I am not dead afterwards, but I still feel like I did something. My pace has already quickened ever so slightly and I could tell from the first session to the next that I was already getting a tad stronger. The first run I could tell I was getting a little tired around mile one. My legs were very tired and sore the next day. A lot of that has to do with the Five Fingers and the proper running technique for them. My calf muscles were not loving it, but I was loving what it was doing to them!
Today, however, I was fine and didn't really start to get too fatigued until I hit the hill that leads back up to where I live. Baby steps....but these are good baby steps and hopefully leading to a healthier life. Here are the stats from the first two run/walk sessions for the Couch to 5K program.
