New hosting!

Decided to move this blog to a dedicated hosting at monkeyface671.co.uk. Had the domain for about a year not doing that much (it was supposed to be a portfolio site) and hosted by 123-reg which runs out very soon, I decided to move the domain to my Hostmonster hosting which I prefer.
So apologies for the confusion and please update your bookmarks for http://www.monkeyface671.co.uk.

C25K – Day 2

Was a bit easier, and managed to get round a little quicker than Day 1. But as I got a new mountain bike at the weekend I have been spending time on that, good its more excersise but it did mean I tired myself out.

next run is tonight however! and its the last run of the first week! Can’t remember how big of an increase week 2 is, hopefully not much!

C25K – Day 1

Today I went for a run following the guide i found at http://www.c25k.com/ in my bid to get fit (yeah yeah I know I have been saying it for years now) but I was well prepared, new running trainers and shorts bought at the weekend and podcast downloaded (which I could add my own music to).

It is a really good way of starting to run (sounds silly but after lazing about for years it makes sense) as it tells you to walk for 5 mins to warm up, then comes the first 60 second run, then 90 seconds of walking and it alternates like this for about half an hour finishing with another 5 minute walk to cool down. I enjoyed it and covered quite some distance (which I will track), I’ll be honest, I did sometimes take a bit more of a break then it said and stopped twice to get my breath back but I do suffer from astma so am easing myself into it, but I ran for all of the 60 seconds (a couple of times a little bit longer) that it said to do.

Next run is friday as you’re supposed to take a day off inbetween, going to be tough to make myself do it on a friday but I will try and stick to it after all in 9 weeks I’m supposed to be able to run 5k or 30 minutes non-stop *gulp!*
