I can't believe that I have been running for a month now. At the same time it feels much longer.
Week 6 runs featured:
- 5 minute walk
- 10 minute free form run
- 10 squats
- 30 seconds of stretching, 10 squats - 2 times
- 5 minute fast walk
- 7 minute free form run
- 2 minutes of stretching, 7 minute free form run - 2 times
Week 6 of the Zombies, Run! 5K app was not as straight forward as I would have liked. The list of what to do wasn't laid our very clearly. It varied slightly from the app to what Dr. Maxine Myers actually told me to do. Particularly the 5 minute walk and 7 minute run turned into a 12 minute free form run, which I actually preferred... I just wasn't expecting it.
I think my app wasn't working properly during my first run of the week. It seemed impossible to know what was going on, despite the relatively simple set. I hadn't really memorized the routine, so I was relying the app to give me direction. I ended up missing all of the squat cues and running through the set. The first time I did it, I ran for over 40 minutes of the 53 minute routine. It worked well.
I was really impressed with myself and how far I have accomplished so far with this app.
