Dess01 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Hi all, I'm also new here on the forum. I've started the program a couple of weeks ago and I am now at week 4 day 2. I'm so excited I've found this forum to read and learn as I go along. I run on a treadmill. I am 39 years old. As I am a mother of 5 (2 of mine and 3 stepchildren), finding time to go outside for a run is sometimes difficult. The first 3 weeks I walked at a speed of 3 mph en ran at 5 mph. But when I started week 4 I noticed that I had trouble keeping and I was way out of breath. So after doing some research online I reduced my running speed to 4 mph. I feel great now. I feel the workout better in my legs (if you know what I mean). Anyone has experienced this too? Dess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mea Mia Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Hi Dess, I completely understand! I have 4 kids and unless it want to wake up and run before my husband leaves for work, or run after the kids go to bed - which I'm not apt to do right now - I run inside on an elliptical. The first few weeks I would run at 5 - 5.5mph, but week 4 and 5 I've had to cut back to between 4 - 4.5mph so I would have endurance to get to the the end of the running segment. I just completed wk5d3 and was able to run the 20 mins without running less than 4mph and I was barely out of breath at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
