torus_ot Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Tuesday, it is supposed to be "rest" day. But I took little vacation Friday-Monday. So here is my workout: 40 min, 10 miles on the exercise bike with 1 min burst every 2-3min. 40 min "walk and run" - I did 10 x 1min run intervals with 7mph and 2.5% incline. Last interval was actually 30 sec 7mph and 1 min 7.5 mph. I think I am getting closer to my target W4 with 6.5mph and 3% incline.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bpoppa Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Was ready to start wk 2 today but for whatever reason felt horrible at the gym. So did another day of wk 1, I figured better than nothing. The rest of today I have felt run down, hoping this will pass and I'll be feeling better. I really want to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torus_ot Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 My legs felt tired, I was in doubt how it will go today... But CCR's oldies helped... Higher speed of walking, more time of running.... Wednesday 5 Min warm up 3.6mph, 2.5% incline 5 x ( 3 min run - 5.8mph, 3%; 2 min walk - 3.6mph, 2.5%) 4 x ( 1 min run - 7mph, 2%, 2 min walk - 3.6mph, 2.5%) 11 min cool down 3.6mph, 2.5% incline Still far away from my goal 6.5mph, 3% incline for week 4, but I think I can make it now. But I want eliminate any chance of failing, so I continue my "baby steps" approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blayne Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Ran 3.5 miles. Kind of scared because I think I was having some heart palpitations around mile 3. I drink alot of caffeine, so I'm going to quit coffee and see if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
