90 day running program: day 2

Day two of the 90 running program. Essentially, it's a challenge to improve my fitness, lose weight and increase my running time to a solid 40-50 minutes over the next 3 months.

I plan to keep a log of how it's going - outlining the run for that day, how I went and other tidbits on running along with my usual blog entries on all things fascinating and mundane. Lucky, lucky bastards!
So, to recap day 1 & 2:
  • Day one: 40 minute "jalk" (jog/walk) which had to have a good, solid 10 minute run in the guts of it.
  • Day two: 10 minute walk, 10 minute run, 10 minute walk; followed by weights for arms & chest and core strength work (plank & crunches).

I have had to slightly adapt my running style as the stitches are still dissolving and catch a little - but another week or so and all will be forgotten. But it feels good to run!

Now it's time to knock up a mushroom risotto with roasted pumpkin & crispy pancetta. Mmmm! I'm still a foodie at heart - just no longer a guts about it!

That sounds like an amazing challenge - did you find it in Women's Health?

I'm looking forward to seeing how you go - might give me some new ideas.
