Well, as I completed the C25K I treated myself to a Garmin 301 . Just done 2 runs with that and after a bit of fiddling about got the maps from the on-line web site they show up with the route on top. Wow! I am impressed with the technology it is exactly what I wanted. It even tells you what the temperature was at the time and elevation changes as well. Well worth the cost (84UKP from Amazon). So I am working on a 3 runs per week, 30 mins each for now and work them round the weather forecasts . Tomorrow, I will venture out to the countryside and do a 30 min run somewhere nice and flat and traffic free and then come home and measure the distance. Speed is slow, very slow - in fact it is near enough half the speed I used to do way back when I was a 'real' runner and did a 76min 10 miler. But I do like the freedom this program has given me to venture out and enjoy the scenery. Lets hope we can keep at this without injury or inclement weather.
