The C25K program consists of three workouts per week for nine weeks. This is the results of the workout for week five, day two.

Program: Brisk five-minute warmup walk.  8 minute run.  5 minute walk.  8 minute run.  Five-minute cool-down walk.

Result: I completed the workout as planned. My heart rate averaged 139 bpm and peaked at 163 bpm. Including the warm-up and cool-down walks, I did 2.15 miles in 35:20 for an average speed of 3.66 mph.

This workout went better.  It certainly wasn’t easy, but it was not the struggle the last was.  I didn’t feel like I had to stop during a run and I even started running a little early.  I started my timer at the beginning of the Beatsmith podcast.  At 6:30, I was wondering where the run beeps were.  I thought I had missed them.  So, I started running just in case.  Then, the beeps came.  There was a period near the beginning of the second run segment where things flowed smoothly.  I was in the groove, moving along easily at an 11:09 pace.  Surprisingly, this came only thirty seconds or so into the run segment.  Then, I lost the groove and had to push again.  It was nice while it lasted.  I hope to find it again.  I have quite a few workouts left to search for it.
