In the past
8 weeks, Gian and I have been a little more active than usual; we’ve been
running religiously 3 times a week in a park near where we live, La Vereda del Lago.
We are
trying to complete this plan for fat asses called Couch to 5k (more like Internet to 5k). Is basically a program that helps you run 5 kilometers without
stopping during 9 weeks, each session is about 20 to 30 minutes and every week
you’re making a progression so you build endurance, trust me, it gets hard that’s
what she said.
This is our
8th week which means we are supposedly running non-stop for
20 minutes, now that we can maintain a steady pace is time for us to build speed,
I barely run 4k.
This
program was built especially for people that have never run, trust me, we are surprised
of our progress. The first couple of weeks when we had to run for 2 minutes we couldn’t even breath, now we can pull a non-stop 15-20 minutes.

| Tonight's run, slow but effective. |
We’ve been using an app for iPhone called Runmeter, even though there’s a bunch of other apps with the same program, Android has a lot of apps too. I'll get around to this topic soon.
In the near
future I’ll be giving some tips about running and more, if you are interested in more
info make sure you stay tuned :)
Let me know in the comments below if you have
running experience or you’d like to start running? What would you like me to
write about this topic in particular?
