NHS Choices - my new jogging routine

My housemates came back from their weekend back at home with this brand new podcast "NHS Choices - Couch to 5K in 9 weeks"

30 minute podcast :)

So basically as the podcast starts you meet the lovely Laura who will talk you through the half an hour podcast. She begins with what the podcasts all about blah blah blah.

I have just completed week 1 and I'm starting the second podcast tomorrow; here's the layout for the entire podcast. 

1. Start off with a brisk walk for 5 minutes, there's already music which plays during the podcast. Halfway through Laura tells you that your first run is coming up soon.

2. As the brisk walk finishes the music changes and Laura counts you into the first jog. It's only 60 seconds. 

3. You then slow down back to a brisk walk for 90 seconds. *HINT: as you slow down keep a check on your breathing I realised that my breathing was alll over the place*

4. You essentially keep doing this interval training until you have done eight 60 second runs. 

5. Finish off with a 5 minute cool down. 

Over the next 9 weeks this is what i'll be doing 3 times a week. Already after doing 3 runs I can see how much better my cardio is getting and how quickly my body is adjusting to running :) 

Happy Days 

Much Love
