IntuFlow, C25K, Prasara Yoga

I don't seem to be able to post regularly even though I'm working out regularly. Two days ago I did my normal IntuFlow recovery routine. It was a nice twenty-four minute joint mobility program. It always makes me feel better and I hope it is really improving my mobility.

Yesterday I started my warm up at home with a brief IntuFlow routine. A bit later I continued warming up with FitSugar's active warmup for running outside Master Kim's while my son was in Tae Kwon Do class. I did some extra leg swings and toe raises on the curb, too. Then off to run Week Four Day One of the Couch to 5K running program.

Even though this was a significant increase in interval lengths, overall distance and time my average pace was almost a minute per KM faster than last time! I'm quite proud of myself especially since I'm only running once every four days. The extra recovery time and recovery routines I've plugged into my program seem to be working. Once I got home I cooled down with eighteen minutes of Prasara Yoga.

Today was recovery only. I did a sixteen minute Prasara Yoga recovery routine. I can actually get fully into all but one of the postures in this routine as opposed to the cool down routine. I have trouble with at least three, maybe four of the postures in the cool down routine.
