One day of the C25K training under my belt. I threw caution to the wind and jumped in at week 7. Walk 5 minutes, Jog 25, Walk 5. This seems to be the point where I'm stuck at right now. It felt like a good solid run, and I was tired by the end of it.
I did however do a bad thing, and did 30 minutes of elliptical intervals. It was supposed to be an easy warm up while I killed time waiting for my S.O. to show up, but leave it to me to feel embarrassed about not working hard enough. So my easy warm up turned into a full on session of intervals, not quite H.I.I.T. levels, but close.
I also decided, whim like, to set a target for my ab work, I upped the number of each set to 25 reps. Right now I've got four different styles of crunches (well three but one is done on each side, so I count it as two - is that cheating?), and I'm aiming to do three sets of each exercise. I did two sets yesterday, and I'm feeling it today.
Any advice on cross training I can do on my days off on the C25K plan?

Wow, you're doing awesome! Biking and walking are both really good supplements to running. So is yoga.

Great job on returning to the C25K program, especially for picking back up at Week 7....that's tough. The last time I restarted the program I picked up on W5 and the 8 minute runs kicked my butt. You rock for being able to do the 25 minute run. Keep it up!!
