I tried a different strategy today that worked really well. Yesterday, I decided to redo D3W3 due to some major lower-leg muscle stiffness from D1W4. (Those of you who might not be familiar with C25K, or perhaps have already completed it but it so long ago that you've since forgotten the program's weekly progressions, W4 is a significant step up in the interval distances of W3.) So, today, I went ahead with D1W4 again, but THIS time, I made the wise decision to do a much longer warm-up walk. And that, my friends, has made all the difference. :) No post-run stiffness or soreness, and I'm feelin' peachy. :-D
Walked for 1.2 miles & then ran the remaining two. Of course, my shins & ankles feel SO much better today. Lesson learned. :)
I didn't think I was going very fast out on the trail today, but once again, my inner pace "spidey sense" was completely off. LOL. Even WITH all of the walking, the iPod+Nike clocked one of my faster paces yet. Plus, Lance Armstrong "congratulated" me (within my iPod+Nike workout session) for having completed the longest distance thus far. Of course, that's the longest distance thus far this year. I'm chomping at the bit to get back to those half-marathons & beyond once more. :)

Thanks, Middalia. It's funny how one simple change can make such a great big difference, eh?! :)

These are great lessons to learn, Corey! And you can ALWAYS redo a week if you need to! Redoing a week is better than getting injured, like I foolishly did! Say hi to Lance for us!

Thanks, Tom! We've all learned lessons the hard way (LOL!), but it's good if you can short-circuit that. :) I hope those injuries are behind you now.

Way to go Corey! Keep it up! Are you shooting for a specific race?

Thanks, Stu! Not at this point. Too early right now to plan for that. First goal is to complete the current program, and then progress to a 10K program, probably either B210K (Bridge to 10K) or BOHR (Becoming A One Hour Runner). I prefer not to race until I get up to at least a 10K distance. Whatever distance I race, I like to cover at least 2x that in my daily running distances. Helps tremendously for stamina purposes. :) So, my first race will probably be a 5K after I complete a 10K distance program.

Of course for marathon training, I won't be covering 52.4 miles. LOL. Not unless I start training for ultras. ;)

Corey, you need to treat yourself when you finish a training plan. Run a 5K, but don't be concerned if you run/walk to stay healthy.
