3 Weeks to a 30-Minute Running Habit

As previously mentioned, I have signed up to an on-line running club with a view to being able to run 5k. As I haven't done any running for several years, I have started off as a total beginner and am completing their "3 Weeks to a 30-minute Running Habit' before starting the 5k training proper. Today was Day 4 of the course. So far I have done:

Day 1 - Run 1 minute, walk 1 minute x 10

Day 2 - Run 1 minute, walk 1 minute x 10
Day 3 - Rest day
Day 4 - Run 2 minutes, walk 1 minute x 5 then run 1 minute, walk 1 minute x 5


Except that I did a bit more than that today as I forgot the instructions halfway through the run and couldn't remember during the second half whether I was meant to run / walk 5 times or 10 times so I ended up doing 7 times - my reasoning being that if it was meant to be 5 times then I did a bit more than necessary, if it was meant to be 10 times then a bit less than I was supposed to. Anyway, double checking when I got home I was pleased to find I did a bit more rather than a bit less.

Wonder what tomorrow will bring?
