C25K — Week 8 Day 3

Program: 5 min warmup walk, 28 minute run

This run was pretty unremarkable so there’s not so much to put in a post, instead I’ll talk about different things.

Today I decided to find out how quickly I could run one mile, and the answer is 8 minutes 43 seconds. Not so good, but then again not so bad either. I’m happy with where I am at the moment, and am sure that I’ll be able to improve this time over the coming weeks and months. My one mile run also served as a calibration run for my pedometer, which claimed that I had actually run 0.96 miles, so it was quite close to correct without even being calibrated correctly.

My running wardrobe is now fully stocked: one t-shirt, one long sleeved top (both made of whatever that stuff is that helps take moisture away from your body), two pairs of shorts and four pairs of running socks. As horribly shallow as it sounds I really do feel more confident running around now that I actually look a bit more like a runner and hopefully a bit less like a little tubby guy pretending to be a runner
