So I just got in from my first C25K run...
It was ok actually. I can see why it works. Normally i would just stop running when i had nothing left and walk til i thought i could go again. This way, you are told when to run and when to walk and for how long. Means no extra long breaks or short runs. For anyone who doesn't know what it looks like, this was todays run:
00:00-5:00: Warmup walk
5:00-6:00: Run
6:00-7:30: Walk
7:30-8:30: Run
8:30-10:00: Walk
10:00-11:00: Run
11:00-12:30: Walk
12:30-13:30: Run
13:30-15:00: Walk
15:00-16:00: Run
16:00-17:30: Walk
17:30-18:30: Run
18:30-20:00: Walk
20:00-21:00: Run
21:00-22:30: Walk
22:30-23:30: Run
23:30-25:00: Walk
25:00-30:00: Cooldown Walk
That was for a total of 30minutes, 1.77 miles, 334 calories burned...
The music today was pumpin'! I will however need to break my music into 30 minute segments as i will never get all they way through any of my play lists other wise!
However, I am now sleepy and required a nap!
XOXO - S
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!!
So got run #2 of the week in... Hoping to try and do 4 this week, or do a day on the elliptical. However, feeling pretty oo about it right now. I have not fallen off the treadmill yet! Still need to fix my playlists, but I am sticking with it so far! Today was 23 mins, 1.52 miles... not bad fo my scond run of the program! I'll keep you posted about the rest of the week!
ReplyDeleteDid run # 3 Thursday. Felt ok. Butmy HR was through the roof, so I think I might dothe elliptical Friday instead. Run # 3 was 27 mins, 1.68 miles....I am hoping on Sunday or monday to test and see how long it takes me to do the 5k (3.11miles)now so I know what I am working my way up from.
ReplyDeleteI am feeling pretty good this week tho. I really wish the weather would cooperate cause I want to start training outside, but I will have to be patient...
