Listening to 'The Lady'

Our second run of the year was so much more successful than the first. Although I complained about having to run up the hills, I had actually chosen the route to challenge us, as we usually run quite flat routes.

This is what Golf Course Road feels like when we are running up it.

Despite throwing insults at each other in response to one another's motivational, encouraging comments, Lizzy and I did well.

I must admit, Lizzy and I are both a little reluctant, after finishing C25k and now being able to run 5k non-stop, to go back to interval training to start the 10k app. 'The Lady' as we call her (i.e. the voice on the app) tells us to start walking, just when we are finding our rhythm and want to carry on running.

However, after talking to other runners, I did a bit of research and it seems that interval training is the way forward both for fitness and weight loss. 

So, I guess we will have to put our frustrations aside for now and take the advice of those who know what they are talking about. Now there is a real challenge!
