So I was lucky enough to WIN (I know, I never win anything) a spot on the Up & Running E-Course for Women. I entered on my girl crush's Shauna's blog and I won! Woah! It was perfect timing as I've signed up for the Colour Me Rad 5k in August. So, off I went on my first training run. Sounds legit. And what a night I had for my first run!
While I can't go into the details of the week 1 workout, I can say it's a very comprehensive course. This first week concentrated on getting mentally prepared with lots of advice on things such as motivation, gear, safety etc which I have to say was really useful!
You get a training programme which changes weekly and explains any exercises you might complete with plenty of time to understand them before you implement them which is also very useful. There's a daily blog post which you can have e-mailed to you AND there's a forum to chat to other running buddies and the course leaders. Seriously, everything you need under one roof!
I'll keep updating with how I'm finding the training. The first one went as well as it could have under the circumstances and lasted just under an hour. Looking forward to my next session! Go check them out!
Sounds great, I remember fondly when I first learnt to run… I'll have to go through it all again once my knee heals up - can't wait as it feels so satisfying (though also challenging!!) getting through each session - good luck with your journey to 5k!
