I did it!!! I went running TWO freaking days in a row. I’m very proud. To be honest, it seemed much easier today…not like 20lbs easier but, I had more energy. Perhaps I just accepting that this is the way I have to get myself back into better shape. Whatever the reason, today felt great. Here’s what I did:
Treadmill [speed changes/intervals…incline is flat (0.0)]
0-3 mins Walking from 4.0 (speed)
4 min – Running at 5.0
5 min – 5.3
6 min – 5.6
7 min – 6.0
8 min – 6.3
9 min – 5.0
10- 14 min – repeat minutes 5- 9
15 min – Walking 4.0
16 min – Running 5.3
17 min – 5.6
18 min – 6.0
19 min – 6.3
20 min – 5.0
21 min – 5.5
22 min – 6.0
23 min – 6.5
24 min – 7.0
25 min – 5.0
Cooldown….Thank goodness that’s over! The final interval is harder than the first 3 intervals, but the harder you work at the end, the optimal your calorie burn will be. Have fun with this one….I did. Finally. Tomorrow I’ll be on to day three.
