I just finished the session. The last ten minutes were extremely tough. I found it helpful not to worry about when my two minute jog was up as focussing on the time seemed to make me more tired. I did manage to keep up with the session and really appreciated the 4 minute walk in between jogging. I needed the full recovery time.
My body is certainly feeling stronger. I struggled with indigestion last night (I had a baked potato with cheese and bacon, and it kept me up for most of the night) which I'm sure didn't help. Although I'm keeping up with the training, my diet doesn't always look like the healthiest. I may need to pay more attention to it.
It's interesting to see how my body is responding to all this. I'm so much more aware of it and what it's doing. I can also feel my body tightening and toning. My knees didn't ache as much during the training, but I have had some pain in them in the evenings.
The next jogging session is on Sunday. I may go swimming on Saturday as another counter-exercise, or I may do some more yoga. It all depends on how my body responds to the session that I did today.

It's strange to re-read this with hind sight.
I've been out on the road five times now. I'm jogging 90 seconds and walking 2 minutes and to tell the truth, I'm really enjoying it. It's easier to jog when I'm on holiday as I can go during the day instead of in the evening when it's dark and cold. Andrew has been out with me twice so far. I'm not yet running in the rain - which there is a lot of at the moment, so I can't say I have a three run a week routine yet.
What I find sad about this post is that I'm going through the same things again. I think the issue with me is food rather than exercise.
